      I’m not mad just having some banter, it’s funny how easily for the Americans it goes from having a laugh to hurt feelings.

      Speaking of empire, be sure to enjoy yours whilst it lasts, and good luck with your second civil war.

        You’ve never heard “lol you’re just mad…”? You new on the internet? I’m also just fucking with you dingus.

        “Empire?” We have no such empire, we have a country and for some reason we call PR and Guam territories iirc but that’s it, and idk why we do even that we could stop any time as far as I’m concerned. The other countries we have bases in are all sovereign, unless I missed one, and even then idt we control Guam and PR the way y’all did India.

        2nd civil war may happen, but at least we can do it. If a cult of personality takes your country over what’re you gonna do about it throw crumpets at him?

          Sorry I thought you were being literal with the “mad” it’s hard to infer tone over text.

          Yes you because the domination of the British empire was leveraged through the pound-sterling being the world reserve currency. Now it’s the US dollar and, when it comes to the energy, the petro-dollar. Not to mention that the US securities markets are favoured over UK or European ones.

          And no, we throw milkshakes.
