How others view the once-"sceptr'd isle".

[ShahdagMountains]

Few Brits grasp how their country is being written off.​

Many Brits have no idea what Jews are — the vast majority have never met one. Many haven’t a clue about the realities of the Middle East, Jewish history in the land of Israel — including the historic perfidy of the British establishment — or the full obscenity of the fundamental lie of Palestinianism (nor, alas, do too many Jews). Hardly anyone understands the full and unique horror of antisemitism.

In similar vein, virtually no-one in Britain grasps the utter contempt with which many Americans who are not on the left view their cousins across the pond. The cutting comments by vice-president JD Vance about European defence freeloading that have so shocked Britain and Europe -- both in his Munich speech and in the remarks of the closed group discussing the Houthi war plans that found their way to journalist Jeffrey Goldberg -- reflect a widespread view in the US that Britain and Europe are finished because they are third-world hell-holes that no longer know what their national identity is and care even less about defending it.

Of course, those in Britain who loathe both Israel and Donald Trump will dismiss such views. Nevertheless, how others see the UK may strike a wider chord among millions of Brits — who largely share many of these perceptions — than its myopic, arrogant and self-destructive elites care to admit.

The Brits were damn good at cutting and running and leaving whole regions of the globe in complete disarray once they found them a sugar daddy in the US.

The UKuleles Are Strumming Broken Strings

Just like us in regards to China, around 1900 the formerly Great Britain was terrified about how the German economy was rapidly outpacing them. This imaginary threat made their fat and decrepit ruling class decide to arrange a war against them, instead of re-structuring their own economy to keep up, which would have offended the few powerful people who benefited from leaving it just the way it was.
