They do get to pretend they are still relevant.

Most of Europe free-rides on American defense. Although Canada's definitely the biggest free rider.
And Imran, they are still relevant. They just aren't as relevant as the US. No one is.If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

The rest of the world isn't free-riding on America for defense. Just because of the rest of the world is far more sane when it comes to military spending doesn't mean they don't do it because "the US will protect them".
The world is a different place post-WW2. You seriously think without the US being as powerful as it is someone would invade Canada? Do you understand how much of a logistical nightmare that is? Do you understand that far more countries other than the US would come to Canada's aid?
No country would do it. Russia certainly couldn't, Iran and China certainly couldn't either."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Asher, Canada free rides on the US in the sense that anyone would basically have to go through us first.If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

Only Mexico would need to go through us first, and they work here anyway. They could get off landscaping work on Friday, invade on the weekend and be back on Monday, no sweat. Those guys have a serious work ethic, the bloody Canucks wouldn't stand a chance.Comment

Do I need to have a moment of silence to mourn Asher's pride in Canada's military? Sorry dude, reality is that the US could squash Canada like a bug. But it's ok, because we're friends, even if you're a dick.If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

No, they'd all need to go through us first. Our fleet, our air defenses, do you really think our patrols stop right along the 49th parallel*?Originally posted by Elok View Post

It's why I think we should be closer with the other European nations and stop pandering to the whimsical US administrations, which tend to be nothing but trouble. Europe is our biggest trading partner and it is in that direction we should head. And of course with other Commonwealth members.
Being Americas "Special B*tch" is personally quite offensive, at least in the other direction we can be partners.Speaking of Erith:

That said I get the feeling (though I have no data) that if you polled Americans most would say they felt some sort of attachment to the UK versus other countries.If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?
