Parts of Canada were know as British North America, and some theatres the war was waged was in Upper and Lower Canada

The bad part was the thing about wars Americans won being 1812, when that wasn't the case.

[Phoenix of Terra]

Depends on your perspective

Positives for the British:
They burned Washington.
Canada never fell.

Positives for the Americans:
Recovered from the fall of Washington well and held out at Fort McKensey (I know I spelled that wrong )

Plus, couldn't it be said that in fighting the British, the US managed to prove it had actually solidified as a country. Interesting debate maybe, but I think I've dragged the topic off topic enough

To the comment that the U.S. Missle defense system is aimed at Russia...which ever fool posted it I say. Its a defense system. It was made to knock ballistic missles out of the sky. Russia is a borderline Dictatorship. Putin is trying to restore power to kremlin and is the direct result of straining relationships. Russia doesn't want to give up its super power status. It won't grasp tthe fact that it fell from grace long ago. The U.S. Doesn't need missle bases in other nations to take out a country. We have nuclear submarines, Aircraft Carriers, destroyers, and multiple other platforms that can deliver nuclear and cruise missles world wide. We also have inter continental ballistic missles. We could hit the broad side of a barn in Antartica if we damned well wanted to.

Second thing. Dissillusions about France? The Public is not dissillusioned. Fracne didn't support us and there is evidence that certain officials in Iraq. The War was a success there btw, the clean-up was is a disaster. I have no respect for the French government. Its changed forms more times in the last couple centuries then John Kerry has in his senatorial office. Another Side note. Anyone that has full faith in the U.N. is obviously a dreamer.

Last note. Europe is lost. The Berbers have re-infested regions which thousands died to "cleanse" hundreds of years ago. Your facing another Ottoman Empire. This time it won't be the Sick man of Europe. Blaming the U.S. for all your problems is a load of Bull and I'm sick of it. If it wasn't for us most of you wimps would be speaking German and kissing Nazi Boots.

And in true stargate form I leave you with this "seek not the wickedness amongst your neighbors, lest it find purchase in your own house." We are not some evil empire, and this is not the grand arena. If the U.S. is to blame for the worlds problems then why to we attempt to defend, and feed most of it? The U.S. should jsut return to issolation and let the rest of the world burn. At least then people might value our precense. If they survived long enough to miss it.

agree.
my two cents:

france and germany: want to create a pan-european country (they've always tried this, earlier attempts: Charles the Great, Napoleon, Hitler) that's the reason they don't like yanks in europe.

russia: need to remember that putin is a kgb man and knows how to accomplish what he wants to be accomplished (methods don't matter for him). he doesn't like strong europe, neither the us. that's why kgb agents are very active in france (france intelligents is almost a branch of kgb, if anyone can be certain of anything regarding intelligence agencies).

UK: the brits are acting as a counter-balance (looks like thats their historical role). just look at them: they're in the eu, but still doing their own things without giving too much of a damn about Brussels.

US: they want to protect themselves (thats why that missile defense system) against whoever's there (russians at the moment, maybe france and germany in the future, iran?-don't know the technical details of that def system, if it's capable of destroying missiles from the middle east)

china: they're definitely up to something and yet everybody seems to forget bout them.

[Gatedialer]

They put missiles directed at Europe BECAUSE of americans pointing missiles to Russia saying it's pointed at Iran (who would believe such stupid official version??)...Iran just got nuclear tech, how the hell could they throw missiles at europe It's clear Bush is aiming them at Russia. Maybe he's nostalgic of cold war??

Its stupid rhetoric anyway. Anyone who has brains knows that all nuclear ICBMS for both the US and Russia are aimed at the oceans, so as to prevent a missile from doing massive damage if it somehow gets fired by accident. It only takes a few seconds to change the target coordinates though.

Furthermore, those weapons aren't offensive anyway, and they aren't pointed at anyone. The position they are in (Czechoslovakia and Poland) are ideal in taking out a missile from a middle eastern country at that stage in flight. Theres only about 15 missiles in those two sites, hardly enough to stop any sort of massive attack from Russia, if they could hit them anyway.

That and, if you honestly believe Bush is the one trying to antagonize Russia, you are a fool. Bush has consistently tried to get Russia to combat terrorism to stop being more or less "stupid" by always attempting to remain completely anti-west. Putin is obviously spouting useless rhetoric aimed merely to hide Russia's own problems.

You underestimate Iran. They have been dealing with North Korea for missiles (of decent size enough to easily hit easter Europe, possible mid and western) for at least a few years.

[Gatedialer]

In my opinion, I should be made supreme overlord of the world, either that or all the worls governtments really need to grow up, quit spending money on rubbish like nukes and try saveing lives, Starting in darfor, and maybe the usa should spend a lil more money rebuilding new orleans...Still a complete wrek.

We've spent 250+ billion dollars... Know why New Orleans is still crappy? Its because they have completely corrupt politicians running their city, as does most of Louisiana. Mississippi on the other hand is well on the way to being mostly rebuilt, probably because they don't have idiots like Nagan running the show.

zzzzzz

If you are so strong why do you care of Europe and place military bases there? You say you can protect USA, then WHY go in Europe? We have NO oil or gas, WHAT INTEREST HAVE YOU IN EUROPE?????
Seriously I can understand (100% not agree tho) with reasons of Iraq war, it was for their oil and hate towards Saddam. War is a failure. Now you want to put screwing up in Europe?? Who are you to decide how world can work when it doesnt put you in the line, ok the Cuban missiles were a menace, ok Afghanistan was, I do not criticize the reactions, but here, that's not even for oil or hate for a dictator?
Why do you use you right of interference in Europe? Seriously? That's THE ONLY thing I SEE NOT ANY REASONS for USA (as Osiris said USA think they all powerfull and can protect them so why go in Europe?) for interfering somewhere, even if reason is a shame or nnot, there are not here!!!

In my opinion, I should be made supreme overlord of the world, either that or all the worls governtments really need to grow up, quit spending money on rubbish like nukes and try saveing lives, Starting in darfor, and maybe the usa should spend a lil more money rebuilding new orleans...Still a complete wrek.

As long as capitalism is in place, things will keep as it's now!
Capitalism=interest, money making.

Our only hope is to build up a military force strong enough to protect European countries without USA and without Russian oil and gas, become more independent and more confident...

that'd be good, but when i see how they are trying to do this i'll tell you: it'll never happen. too much politics, red tape, socialism, political correctness and money wasting in EU.

lmao always try to insert your capitalist propaganda anywhere as I see
Socialism in Europe?
No comment

I can't wait to see what propoganda is thrown in our faces next.

bets my dear appy?

I like Imperial Presidency headed by the Bush administration. That one is always amusing.

And I wonder what next mistake USA will do? Attack Iran? Attack Russia?
65% as I heard of Americans now thinks the war in Iraq is a catastroph and could have been evited.
If there's propaganda, there's always good basis to make it realistic. Now humans aren't stupid as before, they are more prudent about propaganda...but believe me, if Clinton or Kerry were actually in power, I would still like USA governement, and USA would NOT be so hated...even Reagan was less worse than Bush junior

They put missiles directed at Europe BECAUSE of americans pointing missiles to Russia saying it's pointed at Iran (who would believe such stupid official version??)...Iran just got nuclear tech, how the hell could they throw missiles at europe It's clear Bush is aiming them at Russia.

The result is here dude, Russia is angry, and making Russia angry is the worst thing to do, -maybe- worse than making angry China.

I'll mention Osiris post, USA can defend themselves, why do they put that in Europe? My rhetoric isnt bad, what I meant is missiles from the region will NOT touch USA, so why putting that here?


To sum all up for lazy dudes:
What is the point in installing that in Europe while you know that USA dont need that to protect themselves at all?

[Grand Admiral Martin]

war of 1812
mexican american war
spanish american war

frankly europe is a whole continent america and russia are one country. The fact that both of them are a match for a continent should tell you something...

so nothing in the last 150 years then? oh wait i forgot Panama and Grenda.

With the size of russia its not hard to match an entire continent. as for america well its easy to be more powerful when you have never been attack at home for over a hundred years, while europe tore itself apart.

[Apadizamek]

just because we don't start wars and only help aid people doesn't mean you have to be grumpy about it.

I don't know much about the US wars, your right we really haven't gone into countries without your guys's help but we helped you as much as you helped us, more even.

[Legendary Apophis]

Who can answer my question?

[Grand Admiral Martin]

I don't know much about the US wars, your right we really haven't gone into countries without your guys's help but we helped you as much as you helped us, more even.

i know and id say all of europe is grateful. i just get pissed when this topic comes up and instantly someone says "youd be speaking german if it wasnt for us..."

[Osi]

Who can answer my question?

Our missle defense network can't span entire continents. it has to be placed stratigiclly in area's for it to be effective. its like a sprinkler system in a building, you can't put out a fire on the 3rd floor with the sprinkler on the 5th. Our weapon's can go anywhere, our defense system is short ranged.

And Apophis, the war in Iraq was a success. The rebuilding is a failure. The war was ended years ago. People are just told it is a war by the media and politicians. it is not a war, it is an insurgency that is combating an occupation force. Iraq was not for Oil btw. if it was our prices wouldnt be soaring. The U.s. gets its oil from Venezuala and Saudi Arabia, not Iraq. The reason we don't have enough oil is because we don't have enough refineries. Plenty of crude to go around out there....lets see what else should I pick to pieces before I go to work...Europe is an Intrest. Europe is a lovely tourist location so what if you don't have oil we don't like Europe becuase we think it has oil. The U.s. is not driven by oil lust. Infact Mister Bush has tried to make a 10 year plan to remove our dependency on middle eastern oil. Of course the media is liberal so no one has heard about it. And the democratics pansies in this country won't approve it because they dn't want him to have anything that makes him look like the good president he would have been if the world hadn't fallen to pieces at his feet.

this guy says he's a pro-socialist and cannot even recognize socialism when it slaps him in the face and screams loud into his ear.

osi explained this fully and like to children in kindergarten. i only add: ci vis pacem, para bellum
(speaking about getting ready for a war: the training ground is necessary, that's why the us need to wage different small-scale wars)

1-The Iraq war:
Why did you go in then if it wasnt for oil?
2-Love Europe speech:
If you so love Europe (I waited this answer and I knew that would make me laugh more than any other reason), why putting them in danger by angering Russia for a stupid excuse regarding Iran's missiles (lmao!!!)?

3-Good mr Bush, evil Democrats:
Finally, I think that's even more funny than the "we love europe"!!
Bush is not a good president. Maybe he tries to become independant from other countries for oil, doesn't make him a good president. He supports guns, XIXth century values, interference abuse for a yes and a no in the world, and many other things that will makes him look bad to most of rest of world..Saying democrats are evil is really making me laugh when we consider that he has support from all the corrupted unknown from oil industry and many other fanatics who leads WWASP and other stupid christian fanatics versions of mao's reeducations camps (meant to convert people in what is good according to governement, any way accepted to change people's minds)


btw USSR came first in Berlin before USA.
I'm not ignorant, just because I dont like seeing interefering from USA in Europe doesnt make me ignorant Osiris. You have your point of view I have mine.
We'll not change our positions we know it.
A republican stays a republican.
A democrat stays a democrat.
A socialist stays a socialist.
Even if few take benefits off political parties they not majority.

[Phoenix of Terra]

USSR beat the US/UK into Berlin because they didn't care about the losses, they wanted the prestige.

a whole page is gone i cant remember what i posted here.

something about people being loyal to the EU in the army instead of thinking of just their country.
