Question

Will there ever be a war between the uk and us?

Answer 1

It's in the works as we speak.  Relations have faltered due to unresolved reparations for the Rebellion of the Colonies.  Diplomats from each country have been removed from their embassies and recalled home.  This is the first step to all out war.  It should take about a month and a half for King Charles to marshall his forces and launch his armada.  Quit your job now, leave school, board up the homestead and head for Boston so you can witness the first British Man of War sail into the harbor guns blazing.  I hear they fully intend to set the White House and half of the Capital ablaze.

And then we woke up and 196 years had passed.  Aw, you missed it.  Stick around, it might happen in another two hundred years.

Answer 2

Especially considering the number of Americans who originated from the U.K. (recently or a few generations back), and the way American and British culture are intertwined (a lot of the same celebrities, at any rate), and the number of Anglophiles in the U.S. (trust me, many more than you would expect), the answer is it would be extremely unlikely. I know a lot of the rest of the world hates the U.S. right now, and there are a lot of nasty stereotypes floating out there about Americans because of how disliked we are elsewhere, but there isn't now, and wouldn't ever likely be any reason for the U.S. and the U.K. to be at war with one another. Especially considering our track record as allies for the past hundred years.  

Answer 3

Maybe? It's hardly the most probable at this point, though.

Answer 4

There were two already. But now we have become pretty good friends.  

Answer 5

Never; they are family!

Answer 6

Nope.

Answer 7

Global Warming could prevent that by destroying The Planet.

Oil  Wars might not happen between both.

Reason military demolition in major airports and of cars. Not only answer to type out of course.

Answer 8

doubt it stongly.

The UK is working with the EU. if the US go to war with the UK, teh EU will also be affected.... What a mess that would be!!

Answer 9

Not unless Obama wins and implements a black muslim liberation theocracy.

Answer 10

most probably in the next couple of years!!

Answer 11

only if the uk's planning a suicide mission

just kidding

i hope not, an eye for an eye only makes the whole world blind

Answer 12

If that ever happened the kind of events you'd need to precede it would mean we were pretty much screwed globally anyway

We did have a war once, back when we thought it was a good idea to march round the planet telling everyone how to live. France helped America out, who later decided it was their turn to march round telling everyone how to live ( more patriotic Americans may refute this, and rant on about bringing freedom and democracy to the world - to which I say balls- we went round grabbing land and resources while making out we were civilising the world, we WROTE that trick, muppets)

What it is it with humans and our insistence on putting divs in charge?

If you want to worry about about impending doom, Russias little Georgian land grab yesterday is a far better bet.

Answer 13

Not unless they start speaking Arabic and blowing up US cities and or our national self interest changes. We are a culturally politically economically and history linked people. The US itself is a byproduct of britian and have not been at war since 1812 which was simply over the fact that britian wanted to reestablish its rule of its subjects. Now that britian recognizes our legitimacy their is absolutely no reason to ever go to war again unless it is in our interests to do so. We speak the same language have the same culture so theirs hardly a non rational reason to start duking it out with them. Then again 100 or 200 years the world is gonna be a lot different and never say never.

Answer 14

With current political relations it is unlikely, but you never know something horrible could happen and BAM! theres a war. But still it is very unlikely because of things like NATO etc.

Answer 15

There have been lots of wars between the US and the UK.

Answer 16

Depends on what the profits would be.

Answer 17

Haven't we done that? Twice? The current score stands at 1-1 so I think that a respectable draw is the best place to leave it.

Answer 18

u never know

today's friend can become tomorrows enemy

Answer 19

Very unlikely, We have to much in common in friends and Enemies

Answer 20

Yeah, they'll get mad about the revolution.....ok, just kidding. I think it could only happen if the US started using Nuclear warfare on someone and started another world war.

Answer 21

will there EVER? that, we cannot predict now.

but now? not likely. we are close allies.

Answer 22

Not as long as both countries speak English and think the same way.

Answer 23

i really hope not as this would weaken both forces and countries e.g iraq or afghanistan would exploit this

Answer 24

Sign me up! I am sick of how that awful Brit show "Are You Being Served?" infests our public airwaves.

Answer 25

Only a trade war over who has the worst TV shows.  Impossible to say who would win--numerous examples of the insipid and despicable on both sides.
