    It’s crazy how much importance the Brits ascribe to themselves. Like the UK is just a small swampy island smaller than a regular Chinese province, but with how these people talk about it you would think it’s the size of China

      They have become America’s running dogs in order to delude themselves that they still have colonies, without which they are nothing.

    The entirety of the British state is set to be an anti-communist fighting machine. Is it any wonder that China views the UK with suspicion and caution?

    I think some future historians will look back at the European Miracle as the fluke that damaged Europe’s ability to coexist and adapt in the 21st century. They still think it is the 19th century and that they can dictate to the rest of the world.
