The West has no qualified state personnel anymore (diplomacy, military, economic policy, etc). Total nepotism and survival of the dumbest.
Brits are the biggest clowns in the entire world right now, but the US is not far off from them. Financialized and virtual, money-printing useless economies. London is like some shithole relying on old international prestige to survive. Meager power in all areas.
Of course, they can't maintain their over-used old military hardware and so they on that ancient accumulated hardware and glory, until it all fully breaks down in rust, because they can't build any new, it's just that the US has more of it, therefore it isn't so obvious.
"Great" Britain also has the closest economy to the US in structure, not producing anything of value unlike Germany/Japan until now, living on financial engineering, pound internalization, money printing, and global old glory, also Anglo delusions of grandeur.
More signals of the US's inevitable collapse.
