QUORA
ADDRESSING AMERICAN ARROGANCE
NOT ONLY ARROGANCE ... BUT ALSO IGNORANCE!
Original article:
QUORA

Apr 16, 2025

The QUORA proposition.
The overwhelming majority of us Americans are taught that the US military could invade and annex Canada, occupying Toronto, Montréal and Ottawa within 24 hours. Why are Canadians so sure they can halt a US military invasion and annexation of Canada?

RESPONSE by John Inkster
Lives in Manchester, UK
(1962–present)
  • The overwhelming majority of Americans are also taught you have the worlds best healthcare system, not true
  • You are the most free country in the world, not true.
  • You won WW2 all on your own, not true.
  • You won WW1 not even close to being true.
  • You developed nuclear weapons on your own, not true.
  • You have the best education system and levels of achievement in the world, again not close to being true.
  • The war of independence was over tax and representation rather than being allowed to exploit native Americans and steal their land to the West.
  • You are also taught that you won the war of 1812 .
  • You invaded Canada and got your arses kicked that's why you are still talking about invading Canada!
You were taught Russia would roll over Western Europe in weeks without US forces yet Russia has been unable to even capture Kieve (only a couple of hundred miles over the Russia border and no US troops or even NATO forces are even fighting!
There are tons of examples of Americans thinking they are superior without any actual foundation in the actual truth.

Peter Burgess COMMENTARY

I was born in 1940 in the UK. My family lived in Surbiton, a suburb of London during WWII. The German Luftwaffe bombed England almost every night doing immense damage. Later in the war, the V1 'doodle bug' ... essentially an early cruise missile ... landed in our neigborhood almost every night doing indicriminate damage including killing people! I was too young to be scared ... but I can only image what it was like for my parents!
