Britain had an Empire once that dealt with all sorts of people. We aren't as insular as Americans.

 No. We decided that Empires were Passé and too expensive to
run so we set up a common wealth trade bloc which has been
much better.
 We leave empires to the EU, Putin and King Donald Le Grande Petomane...

 No, you spent your capital on WWI and WWII and didn't have the will and means to maintain the empire anymore.

 Yawn. Another parochial brit hater. Jealous are we?
 It takes wars to sustain empires silly. That's why we decided against it. Too damned expensive.

 Funny, I just read an article about Starmer saying it's time to ramp up defence and maybe get military spending up to 3% someday. He
seems to be having an 'oh shit!' moment while realizing the US might
be getting tired of its big brother status.
 

Nobody gives a fuck about America anymore.
You had a great captive export market for so many things.
Then you went and urinated in it.
If America wants to step off the world stage we will build our own weapons

ruined any chance of any of it happening through sheer stupidity, and
total lack of class.
