It's more impressive for a small country lacking the resources of the U.S to be a global superpower than for one who already has the natural advantages.

No, but it was for a century. My point is essentially that when there are geographical constraints on your country, it forces you to be innovative.
It's more impressive that places like Brazil have been so unsuccessful when they have all the cards drawn in their favour. They're resource rich, have a large population for labour and no issues with national unity or ethnic conflicts. Brazil should be a recipe for success provided they were governed effectively. Comparing them with somewhere like Singapore or Switzerland and the failure is shocking.
It does show the difference in what a lack of leadership and economic strategy can do for you
Irish blood, English heart, this I'm made of
There is no one on earth I'm afraid of
And no regime can buy or sell me
I've been dreaming of a time when
To be English is not to be baneful
To be standing by the flag not feeling shameful
Racist or partial
Irish blood, English heart, this I'm made of
There is no one on earth I'm afraid of
And I will die with both of my hands untied
I've been dreaming of a time when
The English are sick to death of Labour and Tories
And spit upon the name Oliver Cromwell
And denounce this royal line
That still salute him and will salute him forever
>>58006162
Brazil's a bunch of niggers while Singapore is Asian and Switzerland's white.
This isn't really a mystery, m8
>>58006205
>brazil
>not white
>>58006205
Brazil is roughly 40% white as is just about the entire political elite and upper classes. White people have been making the decisions there since the moment the country was colonized.
Attributing it to race is moronic when any exception like singapore or Japan has to be given "honorary white" status for your bullshit narrative to work.

The UK isn't a super power. The US put a stop to that during the Suez Crisis.
And the empire was built of empty countries or those populated by mud hut people.
>>58005751
Grasping at straws there Nige
>>58005781
The British Empire's territorial losses were far more significant my Maori friend.
>>58006282
The empire died once India got its independence. Suez was just another one of many incidents like Kenyan Independence and the Hong Kong handover that mounted to nothing more than mutilating its corpse.
The British killed the empire themselves, it wasn't Americans protecting their Egyptian allies and telling them to leave a canal. Suez amounted to Americans holding a mirror up to the empire and the prime minster seeing its corpse.

Thank you, anon, that actually explained almost all of it.
