    We know why Israel voted “no”. As to America, we are still, ATM, the most powerful military and economic force on Earth. Think logically; Why we ever agree to anything any other country wants unless it’s a clear benefit to us? The schoolyard bully doesn’t give quarter until he’s punched in the fucking face, and no one can really break our nose, at the moment.

    Give it time. We’ve alienated all our friends, and they’re desperately looking and working towards a future without American influence. It’ll take a long time to see our empire die down. SOURCE: 20th century British history.
