In circa 2025, as often happens, the UK (or England/Wales if its other parts secede by then) may get involved in whatever foreign war the US gets involved in at that time.
Shortsighted thinking leads to suspect politics (Trump, Bolsonaro, Brexit)... suspect politics lead to economic and political messes; the 4T brings almost as a rule a messy culmination in a rejection of bad habits that got a country into a mess. Just hope that foreign powers don't have to solve the mess for you, as here:
