Thank you for this, seems no one bothers to accept there were different styles of colonisation which generated better legacies than others of the same time period. Also even most British people these days seem to think we did nothing about slavery until it well after the Americans, our educational system does not bother to point out the Royal Navy sailed the seas to fight Islamic slave traders from the early 18th century. Apparently Lincoln ended slavery according to what I was taught. Naw mate, they were late to a party started by liberty minded Brits and even then. Lincoln was not the saint he is portrayed as, twas purely military pragmatism that led to him emancipating the American slaves so he could win a civil war he very much fostered.

Bingo. I declare CIA/MI6 shenanigans.

@AmsterdamHeavy After the Bill of Rights was signed no Englishman was allowed to own slaves. Remind me what year the British Bill of Rights was brought onto the books? Now remind me what command was given to the Royal Navy towards the end of 17th century? "You have no idea what youre talking about." Cute.

@SoulKiller7Eternal You sure about that ironclad claim? Cos Royal Navy is regarded as biggest and most powerful navy in the world after the Napoleonic Wars all the way through to ww1 and given the date of American Civil War I really do not believe that claim. Sure ironclads were good but numbers out weigh quality. See ww2 German Tank design Vs Allied. Plus it was not long before Britain had her own Ironclads. Also while I agree Lincoln fostered a civil war to keep the USA together it is no where near as noble an endeavor as history paints Lincoln. Verily one could describe him as a warmonger but of the civil war variety as opposed to foreign conflicts. The South was already on the path to ending slavery and industrialising but that threatened the industrial hegemony of The Northern States. So Lincoln acted before there could be an economically powerful south that could curtail the will of The North. Does that sound like something Washington would have agreed with? I don't think so.

Agreed. I've watched Styx since 2015 and find myself largely in agreement with Styx throughout that time. But on the Russo/UIkraine conflict his analysis has left a lot to be desired. But hey, the dude can't be informed on everything under the sun.

@VeraldoAncodini So by your own admission it was not the Russian Federations doing?

@spnked9516 Tbh I think Queenie had a lot to do with how the Commonwealth panned out. Be interesting to see if any of the Commonwealth nations do one now Queenie has passed. But yeah. Most empires implode as opposed to peacefully disband themselves and reorient into a trading bloc that relies on the retained soft power of the once mighty empire.

@SoulKiller7Eternal And yet the fact remains that the British Navy during the time frame you cited was regarded as the biggest and most powerful. It's not me saying that, it's da academics m8. "Royal Navy, 1815-1918 AD The end of the Napoleonic Wars in Europe left the Royal Navy the largest, most powerful navy in the world. As the navy of an island nation, the Royal Navy was essential in securing the sea lanes to the UK’s overseas colonies, particularly those in North America, India, and Africa. This period corresponds with the so-called “Pax Britannica,” a period of relative peace in the world. The average size of the Royal Navy during the 19th Century was only 52,000, and yet it played an outsized role in keeping a lid on “big war” conflict. The Royal Navy maintained its relative strength through the so-called “two power standard,” which required it to be at least as strong as the next two largest navies combined. Such overwhelming superiority deterred other powers from challenging London, and upsetting the balance of power in general. Other than the Crimean War, which saw the quick destruction of the Russian Navy’s Black Sea Fleet, the Royal Navy fought few surface actions. Instead a series of minor ones within and at the periphery of the British Empire, against pirates in North Africa and the South China Sea, African slavers, and opening up foreign markets including Japan and China."

Disraeli. Balfour Declaration.

Do I sniff CIA shenanigans? Start conflicts on Russia's borders and satellite states while Russia is distracted by Ukraine so that the globalist ideal of a Russian Federation on the chopping block so the natural resources can be better controlled by the Cabal.

@johnharker7194 Yes it has crossed my mind but when you've done this as long as me you stop believing in coincidences. We are how many months into the SMO but only now there are satellite nation border disputes? Right after Kharkiv? Yeah. This has a slight glow to it.
