Not true. We speak English because it is a simple language that has evolved to be used without a lot of grammatical structure. We could speak Latin as most Doctors do, however the high level of grammar makes it much harder to access. The script and pronounciation of Arabic and Chinese are complicated for most Europeans, meaning there is little alternative to be used for world language.

It likely will should this actually explode into military conflict, given its alliances with the United States and its membership in NATO.

Both reasons are correct. Take a look at this article or Google it by yourself, before another false argument starts.

The bits of land that UK invaded are hardly part of the core of our society. Canada, Australia, African territories (to name the bits of land with a worth-meaning size) were all colonies = British simply ''reproduced'' their society views there. And the cultural core of the world (Europe) never felt like absorbing Indian values.
Russia, Germany, France, etc who have the weight on our culture were never invaded by the UK. The English naval power served as a good blanket to cover their weak army back in the day.

The British naval power back in the time of the Empire was infact what gave Britain alot of superiority round the world, the army was not weak it just didn't have enough troops to continue it's dominance, which eventually lead to the Empire falling, the UK has as good as an army as any other super power in the world, just the number of troops are lower, which is why Britain relies more on technology in battle than numbers of troops.

Technology is nothing compared to thousands of alchohol powered soldiers who dont give a fuck about theyre lives in order to protect what they love!

Russia didn't save Europe, and Russia wasnt fighting for Europe, they were fighting for themselves....

[EenBeeFour]

And if that happends good bye world peace as we've seen it the past 40-50 years..

>World peace

Remember this guy?

Yes they did. The British strived to keep themselves safe even with the water obstacle for Germany. France - no comment. USA - did a part in the war but does not even come close to what the Eastern Front was. While the USSR had to hold a Germany who was throwing all on only one European front for 2 years, and who still held most of its resources in that same front for the rest of the war.

Regardless of what Russia planned to do about their neighbors during the war, you can't deny they saved a huge chunk of Europe.
