Why is an American flag fucking defending Britain out of all things when you fucking rebelled against them?

>Lmao you guys really are Americabrained given you think GDP per capita means anything when HDI is a far better indicator of development, you guys are on par with Indogs and just barely above Jeets.

Cope, even in HDI we outrank several former British Asian colonies in HDI alone.

>None of those places even existed in their present form before British colonization, and now they're the lynchpins of global finance and some of the most influential and important cities/regions of the 21st century.
Meanwhile you guys were little more than Spain and America's SEA cum dumpster and it shows lol.

Eeerrmeerrgaaard I haz oil me iz linchpin ov Global Finance N shiet! I dont see how being a glorified welfare queen makes you better compared to people who actually worked for their wealth. Unlike the Gulf Arab States and Hong Kong and Singapore, we dont have oil gibs and tax haven microstate laundering money to sustain us.

We work without oil or laundered money yet we are the fastest growing economy in Southeast Asia for a decade now.

That's mostly due to Knowledge and Business Process Outsourcing wherein Call Centers plus Software, Legal, Animation, Research, and Medical, back end operations are outsourced to us. In fact we are the world's number 1 outsourcing destination.
