Beadie, I think that you will find that Lithuania once ruled a Grand Duchy that stretched from the Baltic to the Black Sea. The Netherlands had a fleet that ruled the sea and that once kicked the bejeezus out of the British fleet. Turkey is what is left of the Ottoman Empire that ruled from the Med to the Caspian. The Polish cavalry charged German tanks with lances during WWII. They knew that they would die but they had to try. The Polish Air Force flew with the RAF and racked up a pretty good score. The Hungarians faced the Russian tanks in "58 with rifles and Molotov Cocktails.
I could go on but I think you may be starting to get the idea. Our Allies are not the bunch of losers you seem to think they are.
