Hello Blue Star
I am not criticisng America - I am questioning the validity of your statement about "taking over". Americans would not tolerate being "taken over" so why should anyone else?
I respect your patriotism and your right to defend your country. However, I still believe that it was an unrealistic statement to make, that any one country could "take over" large parts of the world. And yes, such statements from citizens of a country do unfortunately have the consequence of making that country look like a bully. Is the statement that dissimilar from the verbal acts you may have been subjected to, from the person who once bullied you? However, good on you for standing up to them.
I also understand that when Country, Family, football team, etc are being questioned, that people leap to their defence and discussion can get heated, so we need to be careful. I have tried to exercise that care and it appears that I have failed and for this I aoplogise.
I hope you continue to feel welcome here for nothing you have said has made you unwelcome in my book.
Regards
Dennis
