To think that at the end of WWII they didnt like Britain being an Imperial Power but this shows the USA isnt really any different. Its Imperial Empire in a modern form that suits them.

This establishes without a doubt what many people (me included) have been saying for many years. And that is that the greatest threat to world peace wasn’t the USSR or China or any other nation but the USA.

Just a reminder – at the end of WWII all the countries that were involved in the fighting were to all intents and purposes broke or near broke. On the other hand the USA was wealthy almost beyond the dreams of avarice.

Whoever says that it isnt an empire is back in the dark ages. We rely on the Americans for so much as many other countries do that we might as hand the country to them instead of Europe.

They also give us with British help the ability to blow this little ball we call home out of exisitance.

By the end of WWII Britain was no longer an imperial power.
But for the Americans we would now be eating sauerkraut for breakfast.
I don't agree with most of the foreign policies now.
