> deceiving themselves about being more cynically realist about 'using' the soviets to check german/french continental power > zero sum game win condition of partitioning europe > churchill himself sees this too late with operation unthinkable contingency planning together with patton (keeping intact german combat divisions ready for a new drive to push the russians out of eastern europe)-- too little, too late britain thought they'd be the last colonial power standing-- america just raked in the dollarydoos they mortgaged themselves for twice in half a century, and finally put old world colonial squabbling to the point of democidal brother wars to bed forever (or so they thought).  what's sad (or farcical) is that they are fucking doing it again expecting the usa to bail them out in ukraine-- the uk is on the hook as guarantors of 200 billion in imf loans to ukraine, that's what the draft bullshit is about across the pond (no, america isn't underwriting ww3 for you geostrategic retardfaggots, again).
