Then again I am hoping for the same thing for the USA.British does have another option; a cultural and/or spiritual revival.
That's what I'm hoping and praying for.

Why is Northern Ireland still a thing, instead of being part of Ireland?Why the sudden hostility?
Yeah, Britain is having a bad time but there's no reason to be so antagonistic about it.
Until you can build and field your own nukes, feed your own nation without mass importing food, and actually have CV's that don't have poor-ramps on them, that day won't come.British does have another option; a cultural and/or spiritual revival.

Because Ulster for the most part doesn’t want to be part of Eire. Protestant North and a Catholic South, as much as the lines of religion have blurred down the years.Why is Northern Ireland still a thing, instead of being part of Ireland?

The UK has no option but US vassal, EU vassal, or irrelevance.
Your country cannot feed itself, cannot make it's own nukes, and barely have much of an economic engine to run on without overseas trade or banking institutions.
The British Empire is dead, it killed itself in the aftermath of WW2, and the British people only have a choice of who's vassal they want to be.
Obviously not, it seems to live in your head rent fucking free.The British Empire is dead, it's not coming back,
Cringe wilsonian mindsetWhy is Northern Ireland still a thing, instead of being part of Ireland?
Me personally I just hate Euros, they think they're better because we pay for their defense so they can spend all their cash on welfare states. Don't know of any other vassal states in history that had such an attitude. They've also been pretty shit "allies" all things considered, none of them maintaining a decent sized military or capacity so that we can easily handle Russia and China at once, and think we should be grateful for this because it "benefits us via trade."Why the sudden hostility?

There isn't a nation on this planet that will be able to argue it isn't a direct descendant of the american empire. The Europeans conquered, sure, and became the new masters of old kingdoms and empires the world over. The US, however, set a match to this and burned the world down, replacing the entire societal and civilizational structures of every continent on the planet in less than a century. In the end we are just giving up on it and coming home, where we will rebuild and continue to be the most powerful nation for centuries to come due to us stopping the subsidization of the rest of the worlds economies.The American Empire will be dead in due time. While the British Empire left behind a monumental legacy of successful nations and institutions, the American Empire will be remembered for sodomy, rap music and macdonalds. The UK is in a parlous state precisely because it has become an american vassal, and suffers the same fate as all american vassals, to be pillaged, undermined and stuffed full of africans and asians who dismantle the native cultures and make it vulnerable to corporate looting.
Do you think the basic options he laid out are wrong, or do you think you could do better on building trade partnerships solo (what he characterized as rebuilding an empire), or do you just think taking the hit of having no empire at all is worth it for the pride of flying solo? (I presume you don't propose crawling back to the EU.)Were it down to me we’d have no need of you.

I'm struggling to think of any King of England, that wouldn't be superior to our current President; though I'd argue Charles III only barely manages it by not being obviously senile. That aside though, I'm personally sick of how ungrateful most of Europe has acted towards my country, even though we've been propping you all up since the end of the second World War, so I'm actually all for severing ties and letting you all fend for yourselves.As we should be.
I do not recognise the President of the United States as superior to the King of England, and I do not recognise American authority to dictate to us.

European parasitism (with the exception of France perhaps. Its military is structured to operate without NATO) towards America is cringe and needs to end. You’ll find no disagreement with me in that regard.That aside though, I'm personally sick of how ungrateful most of Europe has acted towards my country, even though we've been propping you all up since the end of the second World War, so I'm actually all for severing ties and letting you all fend for yourselves.

France had to ask for help in the 2011 invasion of Libya 36 hours after H-hour. I guess that is better than 24 hours.European parasitism (with the exception of France perhaps.

Except those "centuries of military tradition" were mostly spent fighting amongst themselves, and the existence of the European Union (who's collapse is inevitable, and would accelerate with America's withdrawal from Europe) has only stoked tensions in the region. A rebuilt German military would more likely be used to invade one of its neighbors, than protect them from Russia.America withdrawing into isolation might actually be a good thing for Europe, militarily speaking. The culture of parasitism would be gone and we’d have to rearm very quickly, whilst relearning how to have a more robust foreign policy.
Europe also has centuries of military tradition to draw on. A rebuilt Prussian war machine in Germany’s case could most likely beat the piss out of the Russians, given what we’ve seen of their performance so far.
A rearmed Europe is the beginning of the rebirth of European power.
It's worth bearing in mind that 'Prussia' as it was, now mostly makes up northern Poland and Kaliningrad. Yes, the ethnic Germans who lived there were forced to move to modern Germany, but Prussia as a nation or identity doesn't really exist anymore, certainly not in the way it did back then.Europe also has centuries of military tradition to draw on.
