London is the NYC of the old world. Also oil. Americans may have convinced the Arabs to do all of their dealings in dollary doos, but the Arabs decided to have the anglos do all of their banking and wealth management.

It helps that they are allied with the first most relevant power, for starters.

>above France militarily

Lmao, let's just ignore that France has
-more troops

>*notice Britain is above Russia militarily*
Its because MUH SPENDING what they ignore is that you can field a million Russians for the price of a million vodka bottles (cheap kind) and a supply of borscht while British troops actually expect to be paid.

>Hitler and Napoleon invade all of Europe
>can't crack Britain
>no you don't

really jogs my noggin

>not getting invaded = power over the rest of Europe
Anglo delusion at its finest

Depends how you interpet 'commanding position' doesn't it? Vague language which could be seen in a defensive way, like how you might describe a castle having a 'commanding position' over nearby landscape.

How is this bait? This map is created by Henry Jackson society, a respected neo-conservative British think tank. A lot of effort and research went into it
