Ha!
"Vainglorious". Great word, btw.
The UK is not the US's neighbor and they are not
necessarily our friends. We can work together and that's good.
And, frankly, I'm shocked that YOU consider them your friends.
They do not care for you all that much, as proven time and again.
They sneer at your language and dialect.
They have let you starve.
They hate your religion (unless you're not Catholic).
They mock your values.
