    Yeah but israel is the brits fault too. As is the the existence of the UAE and the popularity of Wahhabism which is the ideology behind the genocide in Sudan. Its all the fucking brits fault.

      True but modern UK is second-fiddle to the USA and Israhell, they arent a player. And besides that UAE and Israhell are entirely able to act on their own as sub-empires under the US Empire.

        The infrastructure of exploitation in Sudan was all set up by the brits even if they keep their involvement at arms length these days. Even if other players are getting shares of the profits the brits are the ones who started it.

        The exploitation of colonial britain didn’t disappear they just switched to a more subtle means of extraction which includes lots of plausible deniability. Don’t underestimate their depravity they are still bathing in blood they just have other people do the killing for them.

        Just because the uk doesn’t have a large military doesn’t mean they don’t have a significant role in geopolitics. They just do more soft power work and a large part of that is used to direct the wrath of usa. You think the war in ukraine was usa’s idea? Nah they got pushed into it by the brits. usa has nothing to gain in ukraine but russophobia in the british ruling class goes back centuries.
