Second most powerful country in the world? Powerful self-own.
Imagine bragging about being the second best at anything, Pepsi doesn't call itself the second most popular cola drink in their ads.

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

MODERATORS
They're objectively not even the second most powerful country in Europe if you count Russia.
Are they saying they're more powerful than China? Fucking joke lmao they barely crack the top ten atp
now i'm craving some kind of modern naval battle scenario game and want this as the "fleet matchup" screen
Your rivers, full of shit.
Wait is he seriously doing the Jobs bit of a fruit cleanse to treat cancer? We LITERALLY have the internet and you can google what happened to Steve Jobs for free and yet here we are.
Pretty sure he's never used the internet, he has servants to do that for him.
So critical support to the servants, I guess.
"it worked great for steve jobs!"
Smh Steve just didn't drink enough juice. The NHS must fund the king's medically necessary bottles of orange juice from whole foods.
It's tough for him to use a keyboard with his giant Italian sausage fingers
My man's hands looking like bunches of pink bananas.
He tried googling Steve Jobs but all he got were a bunch of memes telling him to ligma balls, proving once again that posting is praxis 
He's also a big fan of homeopathy
Your plan for reelection is to murder trans people and badgers to distract from your cartoonish incompetence, you fucking devil.
did they include a picture of an american jet? 
The UK is as strong as ever
Britain is the second most powerful country in the world
"the sun never sets on the british empire, but only because we were never that strong to begin with"
It rules that the king will die and seemingly in a funny way
How long before there's a four year old king/queen of Britain?
A while. Georgie is 11 now, and I assume knows his colours at this age. So he's already very well-suited to implementing the TERF Empire's will.
You do not produce steel
I’ve always thought King Charles should be more like Steve Jobs
Fortunes do change fast in a century. Going from decrying the so-called "Sick Man" of Europe to becoming one. History never lacks those karmic ironies.
It would be funny if i didn't live here
Who does Number 2 work for
building the medieval socialist utopia out of News from Nowhere because you fucked up your economy so bad you had to abandon industrial civilization
Really looking forward to visiting the UK in ten years or so.
Their monarch will die again soon.
And it shall be a glorious day for England, and therefore the world.
my cousin is taking nothing but cherry juice for his hereditary case of gout and refusing to go to the doctor, but he's a rural slumlord not fuckin royalty
when was the last time britain actually was the second most powerful country in the world? pre-wwi?
they were like number 1 till 1940 then got kicked to number 3 and then like number 5 after the suez crisis
i figured that since they lost their major holdings in SE asia and their foothold in europe so quickly during the war they must have been in decline for some time before the war started, but i'm not an expert and measuring things like "most powerful" countries are always going to be basically hypotheticals anyways imo
