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

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.

Seems legit, I'll leave it here.

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

Hey Ryan, lay off the bong, ok?

i thought it was a good question

I was having a discussion with a friend after some hash.

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.


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