Someone clearly doesn't know their American history (let alone global history on the Second World War), but I'll forgive you for that. The atomic bomb was a crucial and game-changing device that did indeed help us win World War II. It also was not completed and utilized until the Germans had already been defeated (you're welcome by the way for freeing your country), and, sans bombing sorties against the home islands and a handful of holdouts in the Philippines and Okinawa, we had pushed the Japanese to the point where they had no ability to wage any war beyond the defensive (and ineffective defensive at that). 

Also, Einstein was not involved in the Manhattan project: that was the brainchild of Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer (an American),Enrico Fermi (an American), and the United States military (Major General Kenneth Nichols, United States Army and General George C. Marshall, United States Army). Albert Einstein's involvement with the creation of the atomic bomb ended with his letter and proposal to President Franklin Delano Roosevelt detailing the concept of the atomic bomb and the Nazi's proposition to build one. Alan Turing was more substantial to the British end of the war effort, specifically in the Battle of the Atlantic (which was declared conclusively finished well before we entered the war), but I'll thus grant his contribution to the war effort: It was certainly greater than anything Charles de Gaulle did, though of little to no value against our fight against the Japanese in the Pacific (a place I'm certain you conveniently forget existed), for which our own Naval cyphers cracked the Japanese code at the pivotal Battle of Midway, the turning point of the Pacific War. That said, you're outright leaving out other contributions that assisted the war effort (namely British and American efforts in North Africa, against your traitorous countrymen no less, Italy, and of course, Northern France, and the utterly massive contribution of the Soviet Union, of which victory against Germany would not have been as quick or decisive (though it was still inevitable.)) 

We won it through willpower, logistical capability (we aren't called the arsenal of democracy for nothing), power projection capability, prodigious talent with strategic planning, and our ability to grow and adapt our strategies. We're special snowflakes because of how we approach the world. We're take charge, and we don't wait for the approval of others to do our job. Our scientists support us and back us up, and of course, a very large portion of scientific research and development the world over comes thanks to the United States military investing in greater means of strategic defense. 

I don't think your scientists would be able to counter our military might quick enough to really make an effect. Collectively, the EU may have a larger economy than the United States, but on their own (of which you have problems agreeing with us, and your own internal inconsistencies, such as a lack of a coordinated military force between European states compared to our unified and very capable military force which is nearly as large (on its own) as that of every armed force in the EU (and much, much, much better equipped; you'd kiss any kind of satellite imagery and communication capability goodbye without us). As well, singularly, there is still no country on Earth that can touch the United States economically. We have nearly half of the combined GDP of all 28 member states of the European Union. Would you like to see the relevant data? Because I can show you the relevant data. As well, we take pride in our guns. It sucks you guys can't have them. I love all 6 of mine. 4 of them are military grade. And unlike the Swiss, I can keep all my own ammunition.

I doubt entirely that France is ideal as you portray it to be. Then again, your country is only around the size of Texas. We're a lot bigger, and we have a hell of a lot more pull and people to look after than any of your singular states in the EU. We aren't unreasonable people either. We don't believe in allowing ourselves to be trounced and pushed around by people who shake up the boat and demand changes that they haven't earned through their efforts.

The truth is, we can live in this era of U.S. dominated global economics and foreign policy, not this faux Eurotrash dystopia that you're shilling. That you're here wanting to talk about American politicians in the first place (when most Americans can't even name what the French Prime Minister or President or whatever the hell you have is, save the guy who had the sex scandal, nor do we care, because what happens in your country is more or less a drop in the bucket compared to over here.)

You're missing the point entirely, Without Einstein there would no atomic bomb that helped you against Japan. Which was also in WWII. Turing was the one who cracked enigma, A machine that was thought to be impossible to crack. Without science and scientists, There'll be no military offensive or defensive. Military is another result of scientific thinking, To think how to attack and defend. So yeah, Science beats the military because science is what created the military. As for economics, The EU have a larger economy than you as you have stated and another country which i can't remember their name. And Japan has a more stable economy than the US'. You don't dominate economics. As for guns, You like them because America is full of sick violent people and they're given the chance to roam free with their guns. Results: Mass shootings every couple of weeks. So, Yeah, Good luck with your "beloved" guns. France is more peaceful than the US, That's the point, It's an example out of many for social stability that the US don't have due to its loose gun laws. Verdict is, The delusional chauvinist idea that your country is the best in everything is currently not true. It was when it wasn't filled with people with childish mentalities a couple of decades ago. However the US certainly leads in some industries as well, And that's admirable. But it's not the garden of Eden you think you it is, Nor is it even close. Mass Shootings are the perfect example of that.

Oh, yeah that, too. Super PACs are a huge a huge problem in American politics. It does speak to the issue that Hillary can win the Democratic nomination just b/c she can outspend Bernie. Bernie's just getting small dollar donations. He's not out there kissing the asses of super donors like all the rest of the candidates. It just shows the vast importance of having campaign finance reform and preferable a constitutional amendment on the issue as well. Understandably, that's gonna be a nigh-impossible task.

Who were the Norwegians bowing to? The EU? It seems like every member of the EU is bowing to Germany, b/c Deutschland über alles or something like that.

There are only 3 nations who are powerful enough to be relevant in the EU: Germany, France, and the UK.

The rest of the members are too small or sparsely populated to be relevant (i.e. Vatican City) or complete and utter train wrecks (Spain, Italy, most notably Greece).

Since the UK is focusing its efforts on maintaining a degree of sovereignty in the EU, if Germany and France agree, it goes. 

Untrue. For starters, you're leaving out the Benelux countries as viable and relevant nations to the EU's economy and political prowess. Secondly, the Vatican City is not a member of the EU. Poland and the Czech Republic are also states that have considerable economies with strong prospects in the EU, as well as the Nordic member states (Sweden, Finland, and Denmark).

Honestly?

I'm about sick of globalization-the concept of nation states works well enough without that senseless vacuum of sharing culture and resources with the disenfranchised and backward.

I'd adore a monocultured world but not one with blatantly inferior nations contributing to it, polluting it.

So to hell with it, my country of residency will be the focus of my attention.

I guarantee that I actually do know more about this than you do. Einstein's formula was written years before the Second World War was on the horizon. Beyond it, he contributed very little to the field of practical atomic usage. 

Why did we use it? To end the war. To not have to have thousands of our own soldiers lost in the Operation Downfall plan. We had the noose around Japan by that point. Have you ever studied the Pacific War? We needed to shock the Japanese into ending the war and accepting defeat. I really don't think you have any knowledge of the Second World War beyond Europe. It was a lot bigger than what you thought it was in Europe. Japan needed a total psychological blow that would put them down and allow us to begin our reconstruction. 

I don't really think it takes a scientist to figure out that poking people with sharp objects hurts and damages the body. I don't think you've actually studied the history of armaments or weapons, or the necessity of them if you think scientists are the key figure in every combative experience. Turing wasn't really prevalent for we Americans. What was was George Smith Patton going on a romp through Northern Africa and Sicily. It was the P-51 Mustang flying our bombers over Germany and bombing the hell out of their war industry. 

I don't see how our guns affects you. I think you're just jealous. Come on over and give them a try. 

Such a mentality is what we roll with. How can you hate guns that you've never seen or used? Because they kill people? Please. Those people couldn't be bothered to defend themselves with a gun, and they learned why we arm ourselves the hard way. 

The EU isn't one country, like we are. You're 28 countries. Coming together to make something that isn't altogether that substantially larger than the United States on its own. It's a case of 1 vs. 28, and we still kick your ass for the most part. We function economically as well. You saying that we don't? The biggest economy and GDP in the world disagrees. And the Euro? Please. It's not even universal to the EU! 19 states out of 28 states use it. 50 out of 50 states use the USD. And the USD is accepted outside the United States. The USD has a greater utility outside of the U.S. than the Euro does for Europe.

We sure are the beacon on the hill. The fact you're trying to say that what we do matters to you says so. We do matter to you. And you know what? You don't matter to us. We don't give a shit. You're right American policies affect the globe. And our policies put us first, by Americans, for Americans. If it affects you, that sucks. We aren't moving. You move. Or find a way to make us bothered. Our policies aren't all that damaging to ourselves, and it's not your concern or business if they are. As for everyone else, too fucking bad. We're beyond your criticism. There's nothing you can do to touch us, whereas we're sitting here getting you hot and bothered about what to do next.

Can you finish one post without giving me brain farts?

No, You don't know more about Einstein's formula than i do. It wasn't developed because of the war, Einstein developed it because of other reasons, But it ended up getting misused in the WWII conflict unfortunately.

As for the nuclear bomb, I see. Unlike you, I don't pull stuff out of my ass when i don't know what I'm talking about. I'm more of a science guy than a history guy.

You're again missing the point, It's not about science per se, Science is just another word for creative ingenuity, Without it, Soldiers or canon fodders, would still be fighting with their bare hands.

Why does something have to affect someone to matter? It's just wrong that gun laws are as loose as they are. Sick people have it easier this way to acquire guns and therefore causes more mass shootings. And that's the us problem. Pulling off the "YO! You're jealous" mentality won't help your argument.

I'm saying that the EU is economically, Not politically, A one force, That's why if it beats the US, Then One force beat it. I never said that you're not functioning, Your economy is rated the second after the EU's. But the  EU's is larger and Japan's is more stable.

The fact that I'm having this argument with you is to convince you of otherwise. That the US isn't special snowflake. I care about your country as much as i care about learning about India's growing economy, As much as i care about my own country. It's all just one big gigantic world to me and every decision affects the other. And again, Pulling off your childish delusional chauvinist nonsensical arguments. If you're going to keep going in circles, Do us both a favor and stop wasting our time.
