Seventy years ago the U.K declared war on Germany

It took England and France 3 days to decide what to do next. They
eventually declared war, then did nothing through the phoney war until
May 10, 1940, when Germany reminded them that they were at war by
invading the Benelux countries.

" In their hurry to re-arm, Britain and France had both begun buying large
amounts of weapons from manufacturers in the US at the outbreak of
hostilities, supplementing their own productions."

It was not the phoney war but the economic war.

Mind you. Until Pearl Harbour, Dec 7Th 1941, Britain did it alone as all the
European countries had succumbed. As an original Pom, a boy at the time,
I do thank the US for there help.

The British have paid through their noses for that help.
I believe the last payment on the 'Lend-and-lease' act
took place in the late 1980's.
The US also seized the opportunity to establish 'dollar-rule'
and look where that got us!
Then there's the energy waste the US is 'famous' for.

And now some of them speak of 'national embarrassment'....

For the record: I do not hate Americans.

They are in dire need of self reflection, that's all.
