Great Britain.

It is only 'great' compared to Brittany. Look at map, for Christ's sake!

That we war on Ukraine? We war on Ukraine? Write some more posts! Explain gravity!!!!!

@AverageJoe1 said
really? why not? Countries that are shown how great we are thus gain respect, and frankly, don't mess with us. Thanks to donald for that.
And who else is giong to blow our horn? Countries like Shav's Netherlands being jealous, are not going to say how great we are.
Don't you see,,,,we have to!! Keeps us great. Please see my post to Shav just above.

We gain respect?

Not since Biden was still here.

Fear and obsequiousness are not respect.

It's Russia who initiated a war on Ukraine.

For the record, 'Britain' is roughly the area now known as 'England and Wales'. Great Britain is the whole island including Scotland. It has nothing to do with cultural or national greatness.

Of course, it is called 'Great' because it is bigger than French part of Brittany.

Yeah, well Switzerland has Ursula Andress. Her walking out of the sea in Dr. No has never been topped.

No it's "Great" to contrast with regular Britain.

There's Great Britain, Britain and Brittany. 3 different things. Brittany was named after Britain. It used to be called Armorica.

Unwilling to send back his warlike companions to their wives, children, and possessions in Britain, he conferred upon them numerous districts from the lake on the summit of Mons Jovis, to the city called Cant Guic, and to the western Tumulus, that is, to Cruc Occident.* These are the Armoric Britons, and they remain there to the present day. In consequence of their absence, Britain being overcome by foreign nations [i.e. the English], the lawful heirs [the Britons] were cast out
