Britain and America will never again invade foreign countries “in an attempt to make the world in their own image”, Theresa May has said in the biggest shift in UK foreign policy for more than 20 years.



Addressing US Republican politicians in Philadelphia, the Prime Minister pledged not to repeat the “failed policies of the past” in a clear reference to the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan by Tony Blair and George W Bush.

Her comments are a repudiation of the doctrine of “liberal intervention” set out by Mr Blair in a speech in Chicago in 1999.

Mrs May’s speech came as she prepared to become the first foreign leader to meet Donald Trump in the White House and begin talks on a major new free trade deal to be announced after Britain leaves the European Union.

She made clear that Britain and America will now forge a new Special Relationship which will ensure that the rise of Asian economies like China and India does not lead to an “eclipse of the West”.

And she vowed to address the aggression of Russia and the “malign” influence of Iran in the Middle East.

Travelling to America on Thursday, Mrs May insisted that she will bond with Mr Trump in spite of their personality differences, saying that "opposites attract".

However, there were signs of policy differences between the two leaders.

She doesn't decide whether or not they go to war. The Anglo-American system needs war to continue on because it can only work as long as the Anglo-Americans keep global hegemony. She probably knows this and is saying it merely to fool people. This is PR.

She used the word "invasion". It is something.

Because, naturally, politicans always say the truth.

THANK GOD.

I'm still holding out a candle of hope for Trump. He's really annoyed me at a personal level so far, but I'll judge him by the results when 2020 comes around.

Britain will do whatever Trump tells them to do.

Amen. Very good to hear.

That's what we've been duping ourselves into thinking we were doing all along. The West needs to realize not everyone values freedom, individuality, and democratic ideals. You can't teach Iraqis to govern themselves. Perhaps it's not in their DNA.
