Sooks like he deplores the demise of empires. Very, very interesting.

Let's remember that our little country used to be part of the once-mighty British empire. Were George Washington and friends wrong?

That is interesting! He didn't mention Berma(?). I think he's headed in the direction of "left-wing" rather than right wing thought. The post-war carving-out of little countries from big countries doesn't work.

The US (and Taiwan) broke off by ourselves.

No.

But the British were hoisted on their own petard of parliamentary government.

In a sense, we are still a part of the Anglo-empire which includes English speaking democracies in North America and Australia/New Zealand. I would include India as well. Heirs to the ideas of Magna Carta, but admittedly, less and less to limited government.
