What’s hard to believe? When we had the world’s largest navy we also had an empire funding it that included a full quarter of the world’s land surface and a full third of the world’s population. During WW2 our American Allies did everything they could to ensure that when the war ended, as much of our remaining empire as possible was gone and so now we are back to being a small island with 60m people.
Howabout you try funding the US navy only using the eastern seaboard and see if you still get to buy everything you want?
That was done under the guise of ending colonialism and neo-colonialism, something your Fabian/Laborites had no problem with, as I’m sure you know. We were then under FDR and his wife, the closest thing to Fabians we’ve ever had, until today. Those decisions were made at the SIS Building, Thames House and the Royal Institute for International Affairs as much as they were at Foggy Bottom, San Francisco and the Harold Pratt House. It’s now known that both governments were infested with communist agents and sympathizers, including the vice president before Mr. Truman, Henry Wallace.

We lended you $31.4 Billion from March 1941 to August 1945 under Lend-lease. This is during a time when your GDP was $30 Billion in 1939.
35 American escort carriers were transfered from the US Navy to the Royal Navy from November 1942 to August 1944. Bririan only produced 6 escort carriers during the entire war.
We lended another $3.3 Billion to you from 1947 to 1951 to rebuild. Why did we lend you money during a time of need? Was it a mistake?
