The biggest similarity between Britain and the USA is that we could take on the rest of Europe combined, and win, if we had to. Back2back World War Champs

Except that will never happen and it wasn't a war against Europe.
But I thank you for pointing out another difference between Brits and Americans:
- Brits don't care to brag about military strength.
I've noticed particularly the French and German media refers to the British and the Americans as if they're almost the same nationality, using terms such as "Anglo-American", "Anglo-Saxon", "British/Americans", etc.
Saying America and the UK are similar is like saying Spain and Mexico are similar, or even France and Gabon.
It's rediculously ignorant of continental Europeans to consider the UK and USA to be similar, yet quite often they talk about the UK and USA as if they are almost identical.
Why? Does it stem from xenophobic arrogance? I mean, in the UK, we never refer to the Spanish as "those Mexican/Spanish", so why do they refer to us as "Anglo-Americans"?
Odd, I have never heard any European consider Brits and Americans the same. Sounds like one of those, why is it all aliens wear pink shoes? thread...
PNW would indicate he is living in America in any case, and I suspect he is using mate because he is pretending to confuse Austria with Australia.

Oh well. At least we will stand some chance in the event of another war. I'll pray for your soul when nobody cares that Portugal has been vapourised.
