Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.

For those who aspire to live in a high cost, high tax, big government place, our nation and the world offers plenty of options. Vermont, Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist, big government paradise you long for. –Senator RubioComment

Hmmm.
Given New Zealan'd pacifism, India's slide into Hindu fundamentalism, Singapores soft police state and Canada having those French-speakers...
such a league may run into trouble.

We already had that - it was called 'The British Empire'. For some reason you guys didn't like it very much.Originally posted by Lord Merciless
What we need is a federation of english-speaking countries:
US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, and maybe India.

Way too subtle. I don't think Striker has clued in that the first country to come to the aid of the United States after the 9/11 attacks was Canada.Originally posted by cinch
That was awesome when they let you land all of those planes at their airports. Real upstanding-like.

But I kind of agree with his initial theory. The Brits would be the best ally. They're much more reliable than the Yanks.

Of course the canadians came to the aid of britain before the yanks in WW2Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.

well we've had northern ireland to deal with for the last 30 years, and many of the soldiers who were there in the past were involved in the current war.The Marines I talked to this week said the Brits had the best urban warfare units in the world. They also said the Brits were the best at keeping the locals calm.

Yeah, if it's a British empire it's bad because they supported illegitimate, flimsy, puppet governments with superior firepower....
But the American empire is run by an elected legislature, and has all kinds of professional soldiers, bureaucrats, and missionaries who really, really want to spread the benefits of Western civilization......

India is not sliding into Hindu nationalism, what rubish ! Ive been going to India for many years now, (married to an Indian), and I can tell you the Indian people are strong supporters of the US/UK. The government is still full of people who remember the Imperial past, and who don't feel comftable reflecting these thoughts, but its deeply unpopular (all political parties are in India).
However, I don't believe India is politically ready to join a union with the UK/US .. But the youth of India would !
I am 100% behind your idea Lord Merciless .. and have been a strong advocate of at least economic union between our countries, if not eventually some form of loose polical union. When push comes to shove, Britain would chose the US as a natural ally every time over the EU. We see the EU as important friends, even when we don't agree ..
Unfortunatly all major political parties here in the UK, do not talk about a union with anybody other than the EU, people say its not likely .. but, if you don't talk about it, its not going to ever appear likely !"Wherever wood floats, you will find the British" . NapoleonComment
