California Gun Control

Post a link so we can see just how much has been exported to the US.

The fact you are requesting a link just goes to show how little recognition we get in this department yet don't demand praise. No I'm not going to post a link, if you were interested you'd do your own research. I don't feel obliged to prove anything or back up the claim.

Or is it more along the lines you can't back up the claim you made? You made it, you prove it.

We basically gave you these Languishing in Arizona, our once-mighty fleet of Harriers... sold for the price of just ONE of their US-made replacements | Mail Online

Thank you for posting a link. I wouldn't call the 116 million pound price tag "gave them to you".

£116 million? For a plane that cost around £20 million to build each I think you got a very good deal.

Nobody has ever disputed that Starter. You guys couldn't have won the war without the help of your allies either so let's get a sense of perspective here. Why do some Americans feel the need to slip in what you say in your last sentence when talking about this? It comes across as very self indulged and blinkered.

Thought I was very clear, in post #272, as to why I even commented.

Well that must be the resale/scrap price on 72 jets that are 40 years old. I'm sorry but I couldn't find a trade-in value for a 40 year old Harrier in my Kelly Blue Book or N.A.D.A price guide.

Because you feel we find any excuse to dump on the US? It was actually an American that trolled this thread in the first place by criticising my country and dragging it off topic! Don't pull out the hard done by card. Hopefully this thread is heading for closure.

Yet by the way post #2 of this thread is written, it surely wasn't meant to take that path, was it? Oh wait, who is the author of post #2? Odd that the one making the allegations is the one who initially made acts being alleged.

Posting a topic about a state bringing in gun control measures? Hmmm I predicted the outcome of the thread based on past experience. I didn't say anything controversial, it was done well after that

Good try though.

PS: at least the article was loosely on topic. Billy's subject change about the Brits in WW2 was blatant flaming for no good reason.

[Knock-on]

Yet the most relative piece of evidence supporting America's reluctance to entering WWII is the one you completely failed to mention. America was still trying to come out of the Great Depression.

WW2 was what got you OUT of recession. Don't you know the basics of your Countries history?

Not only that, the US was in a state of isolationism just like the time leading up to WWI under Wilson's policy.

This is what gets on my nerves. A lot of American politicians had a NIMBY attitude to what they saw as a European issue. If Jpan hadn't of attacked, I doubt you would have got directly involved.

Japan declared war on the US on December 7th, 1941. The US entered the war officially on December 8, 1941 with a declaration of war against Japan in response to the Pearl Harbor attack. The US was officially brought into the European theater of war on December 11, 1941 when Germany and Italy declared war on America in accord with the agreements that Germany and Italy had with Japan as those three countries were allied. December 13, 1941 Hungary and Bulgaria declared war on the US.

So what? We were talking about before they entered. Thanks for posting irrelevance??

You also failed to mention the fact that the US had already fired upon a German U-boat and suck a Japanese midget sub prior to entering the war.

Wow, remind me to petition the worlds population to have a National Day to honour America for these acts of bravery.

Also, you conveniently out/failed to mention the fact that the US had provided material support for Britain through the Lend/Lease program and the fact we had made available other military hardware and supplies to Britain before that Lend/Lease Act was passed in 1941.

Now I didn't. Did you even bother to red the post of mine that you quoted??

First he implemented the Lend Lease act and then provided Escorts for 'their' supplies in the Atlantic.
