  1. Don't write off the USA too soon!

  2. Britain has no genuine independent nuclear weapons, they are all de facto under the control of the USA and the technology, from the missiles themselves, through to the launch systems (submarines), as well as the navigation systems (satellites) are under the control of the USA, directly or indirectly, as is most of the military and dual‐use technology on which they rely. I'm also under the impression that France's nuclear weapons have been placed under NATO (i.e. US) control as well, or at least operate within the NATO command structure, though I'm not sure. To wit, neither Britain or France are in a position to act independently of the USA. And, indeed, why would they? A scenario where either country would feel the necessity of unilaterally using nuclear weapons is all but inconceivable.

  3. Tri‐hegemony (global hegemony shared between the three of them) with maybe India joining some time later as it progresses in the technological, scientific, and economic fields, gaining parity with other three almost in spite of itself.
