I very much wanted to make the, have a navy and invade everyone, joke. But this isn’t Reddit.

I’m not sure how this all works going forward. There were some plausible arguments about protecting artifacts, the uk was pretty stable in comparison.

This article seems to make it clear, that’s no longer the case. If you have some money, seems like you can bribe out whatever artifacts you want.

I wanna protect your TV and computer, I think they are not safe at your home, even though they have been sitting there for years, but I wanna protect them because I decided I know better, and if you take them back you are a thief. I mean come on, even children would be ashamed of being as brazen as the world class burglars AKA the British museum.

Ironically UK, (along with the US (morseo)) strategically destabilise some of these very countries.

Brainwashed theft and murder justifying sociopaths are so dumb that it's hilarious. They're like mind-controlled puppets.
