    The UK is not subordinate to the US. The US does not direct UK policy.

    it relies on military protection from US

    No, it doesn’t. The UK has its own military, and it’s own military-industrial complex. The UK is not at war. It’s in a co-operative military alliance, so if someone like Russia came to invade, the US would assist.

    can’t have a sovereign and independent policy

    The US does not give a shit about the UK’s policy. The UK can do what it wants.

    You’re literally just making stuff up, this is like flat-earth level content.

      Absolutely adorable that you think this. US has very direct impact on UK policy and UK politics, and being part of US run NATO is the main reason UK is deeply involved in the war in Ukraine right now.

        You need to do a massive mental leap to jump from that opinion piece, to “the UK is a vassal state of the US Empire”. It’s like you don’t even read your own sources except the tiny bits that validate your insane worldview.

          I love how you think that a single example I provided is all the evidence for US dominating UK policy that there is. It’s like you have absolutely no clue regarding what’s actually going on in geopolitics. Go read up on the “special relationship” US and UK have as another example.

          It’s absolutely hilarious how you keep talking about me having an insane world view here. Enjoy pretending that you live in a free and independent country I guess. 😂

          Bye

            I live in the US, so what are you going on about? The US doesn’t rank well globally in freedom (IE SCOTUS stripping away rights provided by RvW), but what do you mean by independent?

            What is the US a vassal state to aliens? Because you smell suspiciously similar to the reptilians/adrenochrome/Jews/NWO conspiracy theories.

              Ah, well you should’ve said you were American to start with, then I wouldn’t be shocked by the stunning amount of ignorance on display. And what I mean by independent is a country that is able to make sovereign decisions in the interest of its people. I love how you have to explain the meanings of common words to Americans.

                    Like wealthy bankers? Like the Jews?

                    Fine, I won’t call it a conspiracy theory, but you’re just a hair away from saying the exact same thing a Nazi would say.
