Is England an American colony?
>>1218855
No. Hawaii and Guam are examples of US colonies.
>>1218861
But Engand is also an island heavily influenced (to the point of colonization) by US culture in the same way. The entire premise of the "Special Relationship" revolves around this influence.

But we don't land a bunch of military there and exert political control, sending masses of colonists which declare land rights and appeal to the invading central government.

>land a bunch of military there
But we did. Remember the last world war? and http://militarybases.com/united-kingdom/
>exert political control
Isn't that what we're doing to this day?
>sending masses of colonists which declare land rights and appeal to the invading central government
We don't need it, we've found more subtle ways to make it a colony. Look at foreign and even domestic policy, England is in US pockets, from Churchill to Thacher to Blair to now.

Trying to colonize other places is paramount to an act of war, which the indigenous people are powerless to stop. Cultural infestation isn't the same thing.

You're reaching.

No, it's a German colony.
>>1218917
A long time ago, parts of it were Saxon colonies, and Roman colonies, and Norse colonies. Try to colonize it today, you'll have a sizable number of people show up with guns, saying, "hi, wut r u doing"
>>1218917
>not understanding the difference between Germans and Germanics
>>1218965
Saxons were german
>>1218999
No they weren't.
Is this currently the single dumbest thread on /his/?
>>1219136
Probably. The competition is close though.

>Try to colonize it today, you'll have a sizable number of people show up with guns, saying, "hi, wut r u doing"
Seems like the colonists are doing that instead.
Just fuck off to /int/ already

Are you joking?
This is probably the most delusional thing I've read on this entire board.

>Is England an Saudi colony?
yes
>>1220424
Are you some angry Englishman who can't stand the idea of being cucked by Murica?
>>1218855
Yes, they don't even speak a Celtic language anymore, of course they are an American colony, just use your brain,
>>1220445
America is not Saudi Arabistan

It's called the US cultural empire.
The UK isn't a colony of the US any more than Japan, Germany, or Canada is.
It's the cultural and political pressure that the US exerts that pushes them towards good relations.
Defining modern situations with rigid labels of the past is absurd. Things are a lot different now than in the 18th century. Terminology to describe relationships between nations changes as well.
>>1218855
It was in the 80's and early 2000's.
America is the dominate power in the cultural & geopolitical sphere known as the "west".
In this way Britain has a subordinate relationship to America, but I wouldn't go so far as to call them a 'colony'.
