New faction?

Keep trying to change the subject. American deploys troops across the world because of treaties with our so-called allies. If we were assembling an empire why isnt western europe and all of south east asian American possessions?

Believe most Americans would rather let you euros die in another world war than risk one more american life to save you.

Also I love how you try to paint Americans as totalitarians then you threaten to ban me from this forum. All I want is a source as to why Ireland was insignificant. No need to argue, I already stated I want facts not opinions. Why you take this personally I dont know. And the majority of ethnic Irish live in the United States, so much for more Irish in your blood.

But the US did annex the Philippines, Cuba, Panama, Hawaii, Midway, Wake, Guam, California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, Texas, and Oklahoma by force. I’m American BTW.

Yeah I did, you might want to actually read my post before you start spouting off accusations of racism when clearly race seems to be YOUR primary concern and not the 'retard' with his 'biased view of history'. If Ireland was so significant why was there NO important Irishmen in the Middle Ages? Have they been erased from the 'anals' of European history? My god, the British Empire was really that powerful performing US levels of censorship and propaganda centuries before the Patriot Act got there

I have given you a source. You need to learn for yourself and not rely on what someone else says. Me listing every Irishmen during a time period does neither of us any good. Listen to the audio book. Check his facts. Then put together a rebuttal based on facts that might differ from what you heard.

Laugh of the day.

Hardly spanning the world in any case. Cuba is not an American possession. Neither is Panama. Hawaii had to vote to become a state as well as the other states mentioned. And America took 99 percent of the country by force; doesn't make it an empire spanning the globe now does it?

Ok, and if I find one single Irishman of international fame (apart from our blessed St Patrick) then I will let you know, apologise and add those characters to the mod. Alas I won't be adding any form of Irish faction to the mod despite my Irish blood, my Irish friends or the fact that Braveheart raised some very valuable points about Celtic greatness and their oppression by the English. Now, I'm going to watch Generation Kill and see if I can learn something about the US and A

Aren't you just relying on what Thomas Cahill says or did you do all the research yourself? Thomas Cahill writes popular history for a broad audience. His work is not particularly scholarly but it is not inaccurate either. It's usually the titles that are a little overstated for the sake of marketing. Maybe that's why they make the bestseller lists so often. I haven't read his Irish book, but I thumbed through it at Border's Books once. It backs up the fact that Ireland was not insignificant but it doesn't make any ridiculous claims about Ireland being a regional power so I'm not sure why you're citing it.
