Spoiler (click to show/hide)

These are all the countries Great Britain have defeated in war and invaded.

Unless you are Lichenstein, Luxembourg, Sweden, Mongolia or any of those white patches on the map, VICTORIA!
Dude, I'unno. Y'all apparently got ganked by Bolivia and Chad. Who the hell gets their arse kicked by a country named Chad? That's like getting booted out of the Bob country or some such nonsense. Minus 100 points, your other conquests are irrelevant. Y'all got beat by Chad. Paraguay too? Weak.
Even with this, I also wonder why Canada, which you guys have never been at war with as far as I know, the U.S., which the two wars you fought with us were mostly indecisive, Mexico, which you have never been at war with, Vietnam, which EVERYONE lost in, Saudi Arabia, which was a client state of Britain for a while, Israel, which no-one in the west has fought in a war, Portugal, the perpetual ally of Britain, Madagascar, which you never fought in, Both Koreas, one which was your ally and the other you didn't defeat.

Actually, extend my complaints to all former British Colonies, Client States, Colonies of the Dutch, French, and Spanish, and pretty much all of South America (Minus Argentina)

Well, no wars with Mexico, Canada, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Australia, Madagascar, South Korea.

Even then, no successes in North Korea, Vietnam.

And my point still stands for all of the colonies I mentioned, along with Most of South America.

the only thing I see that I listed is a war IN Portugal, though it was intervention in a civil war and not a conflict against the entirety of the nation, so it's iffy.

QUICKEDIT: For the war of 1812, you never established a decisive victory in the war, and white peace was established. I will give you that we messed up on the Canadian invasion, but at the time it was unrealistic to assume we could invade Canada with our resources.

I will also add that the First Napoleonic war was over during the war, and only flared up again in 1815.

Built on American Backs, good sir. America controls the global economy. We only have a deficit problem (and Japan is worse at that, so whatever).

There is a reason why Canada is not French. Or American.

The U.S., which the two wars you fought with us were mostly indecisive
Burned down your house and saved based Canada with all hands tied down in Napoleonland?

Mexico, which you have never been at war with
State sanctioned privateers rolling around and being pirates and making pirate cities everywhere. Lots more conventional pillaging and large raiding when they were Spaniards.

Vietnam, which EVERYONE lost in
Operation Masterdom yo
[American-vietnam war is a separate war]

Saudi Arabia, which was a client state of Britain for a while
Arab-revolt, fought as allies against Ottoman occupation

Israel, which no-one in the west has fought in a war
Naap

Portugal, the perpetual ally of Britain
Civil war

Madagascar
French, Merina and British conflicts.

Both Koreas, one which was your ally and the other you didn't defeat.
Korea's a generous one, it's up there because of there once being an established military presence of Brits there.

Actually, extend my complaints to all former British Colonies, Client States, Colonies of the Dutch, French, and Spanish, and pretty much all of South America (Minus Argentina)
It's all in the list or privateers gonna pirate you things.

Or it's more grimdark than that.

European history is like that. Only really stopped with the wars in the last 100 years.

But it does make a very good story.

At least (you?) they have the balls/stupid/confidence to call 14 trillion dollars a 'problem'.

Eh, as long as the US keeps trying but failing to pay back its debt to China, China makes money, and as long as China makes money they buy Australian ores... I don't see a problem.

Again, 1st Napoleonic war was over and the second one started after the end of the war.

And regardless to your other objections, I remind you that you claimed that you Defeated all of these nations, when you Defeated none I listed.

To be fair, it's actually 16.5 trillion dollars for the U.S.

Eh, as long as the US keeps trying but failing to pay back its debt to China, China makes money, and as long as China makes money they buy Australian ores... I don't see a problem.
Finally, most U.S. debt is owned by private investors and japan, with China taking a close 3rd.
