I am an American, if you had bothered to do the slightest bit of research, you would have found that out.
Until the Iran war, I hadn’t fully appreciated the extent of the resentment some British defense analysts seem to implicitly harbor toward America’s post-WWII rise as the dominant global military power.
Some of that is understandable given the Trump administration’s rhetoric toward Europe. But what’s striking is the almost perverse sense of satisfaction some British defense commentators appear to take in the perception of American military decline—something I haven’t seen to nearly the same degree among defense analysts elsewhere in Europe.
