1. Britain ’s chief of defence staff has warned China it could face “all kinds of consequences” if it “transgresses international rules” in the wake of Russia ’s invasion of Ukraine.

Admiral Tony Radakin made the remarks on Tuesday (April 26) evening at a conference in India...

“What China needs to … observe is, when you transgress these international rules, this world order, it leads to all kinds of consequences,” Radakin said in New Delhi at the Raisina Dialogue 2022, an annual conference on geopolitics and geoeconomics organised by India’s external affairs ministry and the Observer Research Foundation think tank....

In an interview with The Guardian newspaper last March, Radakin described the Indo-Pacific as “this incredible hub … [that] the UK is looking to have a larger say in”. “Where navies go, trade goes, and where trade goes, navies go,” he was quoted as saying....

2. It was the largest empire ever to have existed. And as the saying used to go, the sun never sets on the British Empire. At its height in 1922, the colonial power was lording it over a fifth of the world’s population and for many of them, the sun never rose again.

Under the policies of British colonialism, people around the globe were subjected to mass famines, atrocious conditions in concentration camps, and brutal massacres at the hands of imperialist troops. The Brits also played an integral role in the transatlantic slave trade.

Although the atrocities of the British Empire are well documented, the myth of the noble colonising power continued into recent decades.....

India suffered around a dozen major famines under British rule, with an estimated 12 to 29 million Indians starving to death.

The Orissa famine occurred in north eastern India in 1866. Over one million – or one in three local people – perished. As the region’s textile industry was destroyed, more people were pushed into agriculture, and were dependent on the monsoon....

3. Either the British chief of defence staff was transported in a few seconds back to the "glory" of the evil British Empire or his brain was so affected by the sweltering Indian heat that he had forgotten all the atrocities of the British Empire.

Instead of warning others about “all kinds of consequences”, he should have apologised publicly to his host for all the atrocities committed by the British Empire in colonial India.

When we look at British history, we would find that the country could never live in peace with its European neighbours. It is ironical that after a few hundred years, Britain finds itself returning to the East to seek fortune. If Radakin and his dreaming colleagues think the sun will rise again on the British Empire, they will be sorely disappointed. The simple reason is that the world has changed. It is no longer the world of Robinson Crusoe surrounded by "uncivilized" natives.

After three Anglo-Burma Wars (1825, 1852 and 1885) Burma was conquered and transformed into a British colony. Can the UK repeat its feat in Myanmar today? This is the acid test to find out whether the sun can rise again on the British Empire. If the UK can't even teach Myanmar army chief Min Aung Hlaing a lesson, it had better packed up and returned to live in peace with the rest of Europe.

It has to give up its dream of having a second free lunch in the White House or colonizing the world again by becoming its drug dealer. :)

Having lived in England for 10 years, I never ceased to be amazed by conceit of the Brits who still think that they are players on the world stage, in reality hiding behind the skirts of Uncle Sam and preparing to send media hero Julican Assange of the US gulags.

Pathetic bluster at best.
