Our military industrial complex would love to see you try, it would be great for stock prices. If you managed to make it ashore, you still have millions of rednecks that would love to see you down yonder and kick you out of the colonies again. We could drop one JDAM on every square mile of Great Britain(~80,823sqmi) and still have enough munitions to do it again 5 more times.
The terrifying truth is that the entire planet VS America is the only way to beat America in non-nuclear warfare.
My dude you can lay off the bald eagle juice, nobody actually thinks the UK will or wants to try to invade America
I can't lay off the freedom sauce, they put it in all the food. You know who does think the UK might invade? The Pentagon, they have the threat assessment and battle plans laid out in case 1812 wasn't just a one time indecression.
But seriously we love y'all like a distant parent and adore your cute accents, but we will make you speak American and gain 3 stone if you decide anything is a war crime retroactively and hold us accountable for our rampant freedom distribution campaigns.
