America's plan for a war against Great Britain

[Tearlach]

Recently a program was shown on British television which revealed that America planed for a war against the British Empire during the 1930's.
I was wondering if any of the other members knew of this plan.

The Wiki article can be found here:

and the program here:

I am not sure if the British TV program can be seen outside of the British Isles.

I have heard about it after it was revealed a couple of years ago. What it was, was a in case of emergancy plan. Becuase durring world war one and two America was more than happy to sit back and profit from from the war by selling to one side (or both durring WW-I.) In both wars, it took some thing of ther's to be attacked for them to stand up and send in ther troops, such as the sinking of the Lusatainia durring WW-I, and the bombing of Pearl Harbor durring WW-II.

It is interesting to note that after the bombing of Pearl Harbour, the American government only declared war on Japan.
It was only five days later when Germany declared war on America in support of its ally Japan, that the American government reciprocated.
Also Great Britain only finished paying off the monetary debt to the U.S. government for all the support given during and after the war, five years ago! That last payment was £45 million or $83 million at the exchange rate at the time.

"I look at war a little bit differently. To me, war is a lot of prick-waving! OK? Simple thing. That's all it is. War is a whole lot of men standing out on a field, waving their pricks at one another. Men are insecure about the size of their dicks, and so they have to kill one another over the idea. That's what all that asshole jock bullshit is all about. That's what all that adolescent, macho male posturing, and strutting in bars and locker rooms is all about. It's called "dick fear!" Men are terrified that their pricks are inadequate and so they have to compete with one another, to feel better about themselves, and since war is the ultimate competition, basically, men are killing each other in order to improve their self-esteem! You don't have to be a historian or a political scientist to see the bigger-dick foreign policy theory at work. It sounds like this: "What, they have bigger dicks? Bomb them!" And of course, the bombs and the rockets and the bullets are all shaped like dicks. It's a subconscious need to project the penis into other people's affairs. It's called "fucking with people!" - George Carlin

Well speaking as a man, who if naked would leave a furrow in the ground behind him as he walk along, :twisted:
I have to agree with a lot of that.

" If women were in charge there would be no wars. Just intense negotiations once a month!" - Robin Williams

I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation. War is hell.-William Tecumseh Sherman

((Tearlach,

...it's "Harbor"... ^_^ Sorry couldn't resist. The weird way the English spell everything. ))

Well, 80 years later, we have yet to attack the Brits, so I think its safe to say we still won't.

[Rikardo]

pah! that's the most stupid thing I have ever heard! Stupid because America back then had financial problems at Wall Street!

Yeah, not to mention of the coming Great Depression that happened in the mid 30's
