>>211942438America is a metamorphosised British Empire. Just as the Roman Empire was built on a foundation laid by the Greeks. It never went away, it just changed. America forces Britain to permit a colony to become independent, then swoops in, installs pro American leaders, incorporates them into its new order, and gives them relative autonomy... Exactly as we did. This is why I cringe at isolationist Americans, it is as foolish as being an Little Englander in the late 18th century would have been.
