Yea, I'm trying to look back to think of manufacturing powerhouses that also printed reserve currency and can only think of the British empire and the post-war Bretton-Woods US...so this could only work if the rest of the world is destroyed or colonized/vassalized :/

Aka the imperial boomerang

Exploding sex toys, now that would be kinky.

Have you ever watched American History X? Go see how neo-nazis salute each other.

It's hard to reason seriously with online randos whose face you can't see. You need extra rules to ensure civility and fact-based constructive reasoning. And even then there will be the odd vatnik agitator throwing potential constructive debate in the toilet.

Could have been worse, they could have arrested him and demanded their criminals/spies back in return, like russia...

Those guys were just dicks, these are assholes and loud pussies with guns.

Wars in the this century are won by making your victim think that they're not under attack and that you're not a real threat until it's too damn late to react.

You mean, since this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89lys%C3%A9e_Treaty

Just two months after the signing of the friendship treaty, a new controversy between France and West Germany occurred. President de Gaulle intended the treaty to make West Germany distance itself and eventually separate itself from its American protector. He saw West Germany (and the other member states of the European Economic Community) as vassalized by Washington. The treaty was notable in that it made no mention of the United States, United Kingdom, NATO, or the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT).[9]

However, after US President John F. Kennedy expressed his displeasure about this to the West German ambassador to the United States, the Bundestag ratified the treaty with a preamble which called on France and West Germany to pursue tight cooperation with the United States; the eventual admission of the United Kingdom to the EEC; the achievement of a free trade accord in the framework of the GATT; and for the West's military integration in NATO under US leadership.[10] This effectively emptied the Treaty of any sense (in Gaullist understanding) and put end to General de Gaulle's hopes of building the EEC into a counterweight to the US and the USSR. "The Germans are behaving like pigs. They are putting themselves completely at the Americans' service. They're betraying the spirit of the Franco-German Treaty. And they're betraying Europe."[11] Later, in 1965, the General told his closest aides behind closed doors: "The Germans had been my greatest hope; they are my greatest disappointment."[12]

Yea, I've noticed that russians aren't the only revanchists around, there are also plenty of boers with a massive chip on their shoulder.

WTF is this crap still on the table? What happened to the Egyptian plan?
