Yes Britain had a larger and more populous empire. Its not only about numbers. Its about actions.


Just to let you know: at some point numbers dictate actions. International pressure too... Especially after WW2.

whataboutism


I warned you about this whataboutism 2 weeks ago. I even told you it would happen in an arena, theatre or jsp thread.

Guess its still my fault.

Sure. My point was that after WW2 France went to war to keep control of Vietnam and Algeria, and failed in both attempts btw.

GB left a majority of territory without conflict.

GB killed million(s) with famine, it's a fact whatever they retired early or not (like the other guy's father should have done.)

All this is over now and let's go back in the topic: observing regimes likes China, Russia, or North Korea: They would literally exterminate entire countries, they have absolutely no internal limits, no NGOs nor "Journalists" nor whatever anything to stop them.

Here is a video from 8 years ago (2016) outlining the road to war - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrMiSQAGOS4
The Ukraine Position in 2019 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xNHmHpERH8
Here is a debate from 2023 challenging the position set out in the above 2016 video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_aNMOEQ0248
Here is another video again from 2023 challenging the Meirscheimer position - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlB-pRqdyBg&t=591s

Understand I am not giving you one position, I am giving you different views, and you can choose to delve into some of the points made, and for you to make up your own minds. As most regulars are aware I subscribe to the meirsheimer position. I disagree with the views challenging that position.

Ok, so hear me out:

Poland will join with western Ukraine in a federal union, then trigger article 5 and the winged hussars will ride again!


Polish President Andrzej Duda signed a law regarding the suspension of the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe (CFE).

The President's Chancellery reminded that the CFE Treaty’s goal was the reduction of conventional offensive armaments to then maintain them at agreed levels.

This encompasses commitments across five categories of conventional armed forces: battle tanks, armored combat vehicles, artillery, combat aircraft, and attack helicopters.
