The Chancellor complaining about Americans being nationalistic?
American nationalism saved the world from Germany and Japan.

Yes but it was German Nationalism that started that damned war...and a lot since.

Governments and Religions define nationalism - not ordinary people. But it is always ordinary people who end up suffering.

Perhaps we should do as the early people did - elect a champion for your nation and set that person to fight the opponents champion. The money grabbers could run a book!

I beg your pardon but let's not rewrite history. It was American nationalism (putting America first) that prevented is from saving the world until Pearl Harbor forced us to wake up and notice that the rest of the world was really in trouble.

And the slogan was "America first". Lindbergh and other American heroes I believe.

Since you are already here, shutting the door on immigrants now seems rather pointless.

In these authoritarian nationalistic times lets not confuse the two isms.

"The difference between patriotism and nationalism is that the patriot is proud of his country for what it does, and the nationalist is proud of his country no matter what it does; the first attitude creates a feeling of responsibility, but the second a feeling of blind arrogance that leads to war." Sydney J Harris

Wow! I think you had better get your facts straight on that one. Seems to me that you have been watching too many American-made movies.

And let's not forget that it was American Nationalism that had us deny entry to many Jews trying to escape the N**is.

It was the punitive measures and r********ns after WW1 that harmed the people of Germany that made them grasp at anything to climb out of their imposed hell. The world learned a lot by that mistake, and the former enemies are now allies after WW2.

Putting ones own house as a priority is something everyone does, it's what they do with the resulting surplus that defines them. Last year we gave away 50 billon dollars in foreign aid. But another way is to enhance trade- where everyone benefits which results in way more financial help- but a good deal is one where both sides prosper- not just one. Tell me, when you go to the "pitch", do you root for the better team, or do you root for your own? When a call goes your way even when it is a bad call- do you boo until the ref's reverse it? Do you even keep score? if you do- you are selfish.

Brexit is in no small part about Great Britain not liking decisions made by other EU nations that they must abide by- a big one was the refugee crisis and accepting huge amounts of refugees who do not wish to become part of their respective countries- but migrate their own into it. The EU has some looming problems in its future- I don't blame the people of Great Briton for wanting to avoid them. We'll probably have to join forces with you some day have to go back, and clean it all back out.

So I'm rooting for you and thus ourselves... see how it works?

Of course you’re again being dishonest as absolutely NO ONE is shutting the door on immigration. Of course, the true imbeciles continue to push an agenda of open borders.
