I got that part, thank you. I was just wondering which feat of "non-stickiness" you were alluding to.

Nah, that was back when the US tried to mind their own business.

Now, if some country attacked the UK, the US would be on them like stink on doo doo.

Oh, like the Falklands.

Oh yeah, if someone attacked Hong Kong, we should've jumped in too.

I doubt the US would have expected help if Puerto Rico were attacked. If France attacked the UK we probably wouldn't help unless it was needed...chucklechuckle.

Finally, now and over 2 decades ago ain't the same.:ermm:

So it's as of today and when you fancy it.

Sounds pretty much like a "no change there then".

USA only win wars when we help them.

I forgot you need things spelled out for you and add "when you actually need it".

No, you need to make yourself clearer.

So you decide when we need help, obviousement.
