Japan 'poised to begin informal trade talks with UK'

Its often forgotten that after WWI it was believed that the next major global conflict would be between the USA and UK.

Yeah, the yanks didn't like our imperialism in the Americas and we wanted to keep our Empire, but we was not strong enough after WW2, hence our backing down from Suez because the yanks said so. US/UK conflict is not a secret. The Suez Crisis killed Britain as a superpower, but that is in the past now, and it is almost entirely irrelevant.

The USA even had advanced military plans in operation along the Canadian border in 1935

History. You know what else is history? The Germans invading Poland. Maybe Poland should cut ties with Germany because of their history?

You know what else is history? The Germans drawing up plans to invade Britain.

History is irrelevant to current trade. If we had to stop trading with every country we have ever had conflict with, then we'd be truly isolated from the entire world.

Every country had secret warplans. Why are ancient warplans relevent to our modern day trade?
