Britain should have allied with Japan in the interwar period. Kept pressure on Russia and US in the Pacific.

  Britain ending the Anglo-Japanese Alliance in 1922 is real historical evidence for the fact that Britain became a vassal of the US prior to WW2, as Yockey argued. Washington put the thumbscrews on London and London caved without a shot ever being fired. Had Britain defied the US and maintained its alliance with Japan, and not agreed to naval reductions, then WW2 would have been fought between the US and Britain.

  Americans are trained from birth to hate and despise Britain so they would have had no qualms about killing Britons en masse, or dropping nuclear weapons onto us.

    Washington Naval Treaty
    
    The Washington Naval Treaty, also known as the Five-Power Treaty, was a treaty signed during 1922 among the major Allies of World War I, which agreed to prevent an arms race by limiting naval construction. It was negotiated at the Washington Naval Conference in Washington, D.C. from November 1921 to February 1922 and signed by the governments of the United Kingdom, United States, France, Italy, and Japan. It limited the construction of battleships, battlecruisers and aircraft carriers by the signatories. The numbers of other categories of warships, including cruisers, destroyers, and submarines, were not limited by the treaty, but those ships were limited to 10,000 tons displacement each. The treaty was concluded on February 6, 1922. Ratifications of that treaty were exchanged in Washington on August 17, 1923, and it was registered in the League of Nations Treaty Series on April 16, 1924.Later naval arms limitation conferences sought additional limitations of warship building. The terms of the Washington Naval Treaty were modified by the London Naval Treaty of 1930 and the Second London Naval Treaty of 1936. By the mid-1930s, Japan and Italy renounced...

    Anglo-Japanese Alliance
    
    The first Anglo-Japanese Alliance (日英同盟, Nichi-Ei Dōmei) was an alliance between Britain and Japan. It was in operation from 1902 to 1922. The original British goal was to prevent Russia from expanding in Manchuria while also preserving the territorial integrity of China and Korea. For the British, it marked the end of a period of "splendid isolation" while allowing for greater focus on protecting India and competing in the Anglo-German naval arms race. The alliance was part of a larger British strategy to reduce imperial overcommitment and recall the Royal Navy to defend Britain. The Japanese, on the other hand, gained international prestige from the alliance and used it as a foundation for their diplomacy for two decades. In 1905, the treaty was redefined in favor of Japan concerning Korea. It was renewed in 1911 for another ten years and replaced by the Four Power Treaty in 1922.The alliance was signed in London at Lansdowne House on 30 January 1902 by Lord Lansdowne, British...

  @augustus au contraire. We're taught that Britain is an extended edition of the Mary Poppins / James Bond franchise, and that English accents should be trusted when advertising cosmetics and laundry soap.

  @jeremiah @augustus that's as it exists now, and I know there was a suspicious amount of pro-UK shilling prior to WWI, but what about interwar attitudes? Weren't a lot of Americans bitter about having to involve themselves in a war where not even a high fantasy story could include any element of direct threat to the US? If Britain were also a geopolitical enemy at the time, it might not be so hard for propaganda to get Americans to hate Brits.
  
  I was offended in the late 2000s when the media was deebly goncerned about stochastic terrorism against Muslims in the US, but in 2022 all it took was CNN saying "hey you're allowed to hate Russians now" for every company to release a personal statement on how they're immediately amputating their Russian customers and letting the wound bleed freely as an act of self-flagellation.
