There's been signals that have made me buy into the theory that the FVEY countries become US states / protectorates... It's been pretty overt with Canada and Australia... NZ and the UK less so.... not sure exactly how that looks but it probably comes wrapped in a bailout from a sovereign financial crisis as pretext for regime change. They're already defacto US protectorates from a defense perspective and the integrated financial systems.
Europe is a little trickier because the EU itself if divided between globalists states and nationalists ones... the 2025 US defense directive listed Italy Poland Hungary as countries that could be pulled in closer to the US, perhaps some ex-NATO/EU defense or economic compact.
France is its own power in many ways so a smaller EU could be centered around it, Germany is the biggest question... do nationalists take back the country or not.
Hard to figure out a smooth landing for europe generally because their economy is so hollowed out by globalism. Nationalists states will have to attract their expats back to rebuild, I think Italy is the test for that, do they get serious about deportations and econ reform. Reform UK looks like a step towards US alignment/statehood.
So the UK's crashing out of EU with Brexit may make your theory slightly easier?
the UK gets a seat at the table of the Anglosphere bloc, we keep the pound in our pocket, the dollars weakens enough for Bitcoin to get reserve status, Tradegy is nationalised by US gov and crossing the Atlantic for work or family gets easier for Brits, but we look independent on paper and not the 51st state.
Yea Brexit confirmed direction
Not sure the pound sticks around, but if it does it'd be in a free float against Bitcoin... Honestly don't see how the UK has enough of an economy to warrant it though, dollarization seems more likely.
The optics are important to your point, ultimately British nationalists would be the natural allies of integration, but rightly may want to appear independent even if the UK is functionally a state.
Ireland fits in somewhere here too.
Perhaps some papering like Russia does with Kazakhstan and Belarus
Interesting, could be a way to unite Ireland, the south initially swallowed the woke EU mind virus and the north has it's history that goes without saying, historically Ireland has major ties to US and could be a way forward, i'd push back about seeing dollars in London, the GBP will prevail if the state of UK is retained, if GB goes full US ownership then dollars ok, but far too much history for Brits to fall under the US umbrella
Yea it's tricky, when Trump was talking about Canada he mentioned them keeping their flag anthem and identity, that's so that's whispering the blueprint.
How the GBP floats against the dollar/bitcoin is ultimately all that matters, the SWIFT/swap-lines/Triffin Dollar system is dead... so it may be possible to keep it in the new framework.
Ireland definitely needs to be liberated, their PM was trending here on St. Paddy's day... there's more Irish in the US than in Ireland... would love to see some Connor McGregor as king psyop to make that happen lol

Re-reading this morning less bleary eyed
What's your vision for London UK over the next 5yrs?
I think about your response and my post was too centred on a specific subject, where the reality is 5D chess, with multi-faceted variable factions, jockeying for position in the greatest show on earth
The beginning of the first turning
The new world order, if US China and Russia divvy up the world, where does UK and perhaps western EU get left? as per my question
