I think it's mostly the other way around desu.

because we YANKED them twice. It's also a good a country to keep our gorillion military bases

WW2 lend-lease then thatcher+Reagan friendship then we helped in the middle-east a lot recently.

Before that we liked to kidnap Americans and force them into the Navy and plunder all their shipping, as well as put up trade blocks etc
American ships were banned from some of our colonies for about 80 years too.

World Wars tend to change allegiances pretty quickly, it was the same thing with the French. We were butthurt about their revolution for a while but got over it pretty quickly because it became obvious that the independent US was a more valuable trading partner than the thirteen colonies were.

remember that time the US forced britain to abandon their empire after WWII?

lol

>Americans hated British
Americans are Brits, in fact if you weren't a Brit in America you were considered non-white garbage.

>WE HELPED
Yeah by invading Irak for no reason, starting a fucking domino effect that destroyed all the stable governments in place in favor of radical islamists movements, including Daech, and culminating in the refugee crisis we see today.

Well fucking done, you retards. And we warned you to not do it. We fucking warned you

good post, my Italian brother

We used to be the same people around 250 years ago so it only makes sense that the animosity would not last, especially when at the time most Brits didnt care that we left the country because back then we were just a few colonies in a small part of a big continent owned by multiple countries

I didnt say we helped the middle east, we just helped America.

We ought not have, HOWEVER, i would say that removing gadaffi for 'muh democracy' which caused a civil war, and instabbility and so allowed the extremists he was trying to kill who we stopped him from killing to take over and cause this shit meanwhile libya can no longer prevent a flow of refugees and then Syria cannot either, who again- idiots are trying to make worse because of 'muh poor rebels'.
I blame Obama and the state department as welll as the socialist democrat leaders/ liberal pressure in Europe for the current crisis.

No we do not, they are vapid and brash while we have very complex and reserved social norms.

Because holding a grudge on a war that happened almost 250 years ago is autistic.
