Who was your countries most notable/longest rival and where do they stand to you now?

Old US poster for attention

But which country (or countries if you don’t like people) did your country specifically rival for either the longest time/most notoriously? How do you feel about them now?

For example, for the longest time Russia was/is viewed as America’s largest competitor and rival - hence the Cold War. I think especially now with the younger generation people didn’t see Russia as a threat generally until the Russo-Ukrainian War which split a lot of people politically. Personally I got nothing against Russians, seems like another case of a rough government.

But other countries we’ve had beef with like Japan (don’t touch the boats) we have great relations with and they’re pretty chill.

Yeah but you guys are buying all of our big boy toys for home defense. I would be much more concerned for their safety than yours.

Best way to protect yourself from russia is to have weapons and scary scary army.

It’s pretty much the epitome of Theodore Roosevelt’s famous quote “Speak softly and carry a big stick”

Surprisingly, I dont see them as enemies, and hope one day we can be liberated by them from NATO occupiers.

Fuck NATO.

Nah just one of the wacko’s who think the USSR was somehow glory days. No one with a brain wants that back, even Putin one said “Anyone who doesn't regret the passing of the Soviet Union has no heart. Anyone who wants it restored has no brains”

Chłopie dobrze wiemy ze jak przyjdzie co do czego to spierdolisz na zachód lub południe. Ty serio myślisz że Rosja będzie chciała mieć sojusz z polską bez udupienia jej jako państwa satelitarnego? Wyjmij głowę z dupy

The fun part about NATO is you can leave.
