(France vs Britain) Parallels (USA vs Soviet Union)

RyanTheRhino · Jan 27, 2013

Discuss the parallels between these two events.

Two superpowers : France, British Empire

France supports insurgents in the mainland America to fight off the British.

Two superpowers : USA, Soviet Union

USA supports insurgents in Afghanistan to fight off the Soviet union .

Now my question. who is supporting the insurgents fighting our current occupation?

Take your pick.

No, I'm not going to push it.
The past is gone. I even lived in Germany for a while.
It's all history.

I was having a discussion with a friend after some hash :weed:

.

He is one of those hard core republican guys. He started complaining about the recent terrorist attacks by insurgents/ rioters ," just a bunch of fucked up people in the head with blood lust"

I personally like to give people the benefit of doubt . I reply to him " well you know we were the terrorist/ insurgents in the eyes of the British during the revolutionary war.

overthrowing British governors and such.

I kinda forget the rest of the conversion but apparently it had to do with coupes and military parallels lol. :eyesmoke:

I mean since we are in the middle east still what other super power is supporting them?, because history shows it always happens
