Copy cats, machines and such.

[PWR4360-59B]

The threads of like who makes the best this or that, got me thinking. It seems most all of the good stuff was made in the US and copied by other country's. Yes maybe not always invented in the US, but still the best examples where made in the US. I even discovered that Germany was copying such things as machine tools, and purchased many back in the old days from US manufactures. I know things have changed since WW2 days no longer does US make top quality stuff.

That's because the US became a Chinese subsidiary.

The article discusses machine tools up to 1930 and Germans buying US machine tools. Were German rockets, unmanned pulse jets, axial jet engines and all the other gubbins the US took out of Germany in 1945 made with US machine tools?

An Olympic superpower should get a mention.

I think he has taken his toys and gone home...

England was like "We have Smokey..."

The US was like "Hold my beer..."

the Spitfire was far too fragile to be an american design

Chemtrailing will become more efficient once Airbus starts installing American built piston engines on it's A330's.

Still missing your smiley with your national flags....

This is the "show that you are a nationalist" thread, if you didn't get that. Post your flag and tell us why your country is superior to all others and why all the other countries suck.

I'll start, The Netherlands is better than anything, because, eh, because, WE'RE DUTCH!

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

What if you have two countries? Since I am a Deutsch-Amerikaner does that make me über superior. You know America the best, USA, USA, USA, Deutschland über Alles, blah, blah, blah...

Oh nevermind.

Oh nevermind.

You cannot be superior as you are not Dutch as I already clearly proved. Although the Americans seem to confuse 'Deutsch' with 'Dutch' (I saw that in Philladelphia). So that makes you confusingly superior and then only half....

Waving a flag below sea level is no cause for celebration.

You get failed in exams for copying.

It is if you still have your feet dry.

The reason why the Dutch are called Dutch is the same reason the Germans are called Tedeschi in Italian, Europeans confuse everything.

 

[GrauGeist]

Ok, so Holland is not really Dutchland?
