It would appear that subsequent to the G8 summit, Global Britain is dead in the water. The draught of the New Atlantic Charter signed by Biden does not correspond to the joint statement, the former affirming only NATO as the instrument of the New World Order whereas the latter reaffirms the centrality of the UN. Biden failed to mention the New Atlantic Charter in his press conference. He also pushed the British back towards the EU whereas the Britain seeks to remain outside subordinating it to NATO, creating a military block to counter the Russians just as proposed by Churchill. At the following NATO summit India was not mentioned as a prospective NATO partner. Johnson, following Churchill in 1945, sought to attain decisive influence over Washington, empower a United Europe against Russia and reinforce the British Empire, in today’s terms, to extend NATO to include India and Australia. None of these goals looks achievable.
