The PTB in US have decided to divy up the world into zones. This was likely already set in motion when the Brexit thing started in UK. "We want Canada, American Gulf, Panama Canal" is Monroe Doctrine 2.0 on steroids. UK is likely going to be in the 'Oceania' camp (as will be the rest of the Common Wealth) and we can all look forward to a 1984 future living under authoritarian regimes using "AI" and pervasive surveillance. The rest is smoke for plebes.
