UK will give sovereignty of Chagos Islands to Mauritius

Chagos what?



Mauritius is more than 2000 km far from Chagos. Makes this any real sense?

What are you babbling? In the OP you bitched about the Labors' disaster. In my post here I said that you stupid Brits should already admit, at last, that all that bullshit about 'Global Britain' is just bullshit. And move along. Why on the heck do you need a bunch of atolls in the middle of the Indian ocean?

The effects of WWI and WWII bankrupt the UK. In effect Britain lost the war although she won it.
After WWII, nased upon agreements with some of the colonies some countries became independent "Commonwealths" like Canada, Australia, New Zeland while others like Indian some Asian and African colonies were allowed to break away as Commonwealths.

Indeed Great Britain made in World War 1+2 a war against Britain herselve.

World War 1: The Prussian emperor over Germany William II had been educated from his grandma Queen Victoria. Indeed Germany never had been a cause for World War 1 and the war propaganda of Great Britain against Germany based on the education of Queen Victoria. William II loved her very much. His absurde ideas not had been German ideas - it had been British ideas. During world war 1 for example no one liked seriously to use the full power of the German navy because no one liked to waste this toy of the Brit William who ruled Germany.

And the begin of World War 2 is even more mysterious. The main reason for the so called appeasement-politics was it for GB not to lose the rest of their empire. Even India for example still had been a part of the British empire. Why to take a risk? But in the background of this politics they tried to bring Germany and Russia into a war with each other. Very clever. So far so good.
But if this had to be successful Poland had to fall so Germany and Russia got a common border. I guess this was also the plan of Hitler. Hitler had under all circumstances attacked Stalin.
So when Great Britain had done nothing they had only to wait who will win and to attack the weakened winner afterwards. ... But ... They declared war on Germany - and became allies of Stalin. So they lost the rest of their empire. And now they are under the risk to be attacked from Putins Russia. When Scandinavia or Germany will fall then GB will be lost too. ... By the way: Why did GB leave the EU? Because they like to be save from the European influence?

Another irony in this context: While the Brits after World War 2 wasted a lot of power with the rest of their stupid empire we Germans forgot just simple a big part of the lost areas of Germany. As a result the Brits still had been hungry when we Germans became very soon fat as a reaction of the hunger after world war 2.

Here the national anthem of West-Germany (no joke!) a short time after world war 2 (a carnival hit!) - while it was forbidden to play our own official national anthem. The Brits lived in those days still in fear of carnival. Why? Never any German understood this.

Britain became an average European country long ago. Forget about that 'Global Britain' shit.

They can't, the Colonial mindset is part of their DNA, these days they do it by being a poodle of the US.

Yes, I know. But they will be dragged by the nature to that understanding.

They will need one hell of a wake up call to face up to reality, i find it unbelievable that some people defend what took place on the Chagos Islands, the population taken away and dumped in Mauritius and the Seychells and the dogs shot, to make way for a US base. One poster said the Islands were thousands of miles from Mauritius as if that mattered, the Falklands are thousands of miles from the UK.
