    Yep, sure Britain would have prosperous relations with Russia after Salisbury Poisonings and with PRC after it stole Hong-Kong on promises of democracy and authonomy, and then throwing those out of the window.

      Not sure you’re equipped for this. ?

      The Lease on Hong Kong expired and Britain handed it back in accordance with those terms.

      As for the Salisbury case, one civilian death has never really stood in the way of trade deals before.

      stole Hong-Kong

      Now that’s an interesting claim. (Notwithstanding that “1 country, 2 systems” ultimately didn’t consolidate into the 1 system we would have liked.)
