Globe showing the Atlantic Ocean with arrows depicting the AMOC circulation: warm surface currents (pink/red) flowing northward from the tropics toward the Arctic, and cold deep return currents (blue/purple) flowing southward. The background shows sea surface temperature trends, with a prominent blue cold patch, the "cold blob", south of Greenland, contrasting with warming (orange/red) across the rest of the ocean.

1/ There's a system of ocean currents in the Atlantic that shapes Europe's #climate, drives monsoons, and keeps sea levels stable along the US coast.

In the last 5 years, the scientific evidence that it could collapse has shifted dramatically.

Most people have no idea. 🧵

Ireland had a policy of promoting regime change?England was completing the conquest, undertaking massive land confiscations via plantations, commencing the brutal Cromwellian era, and establishing the Protestant Ascendancy, solidified by the Penal Laws. But focus on the nebulous policy...

Look, we know about the wild geese and the wars in Europe. My point was English people don't know about their history (or at least the darker aspects). You haven't addressed any of the issues raised, and have indulged in the 'whataboutery' approach to argument. Slan leat.

No issue with this being thought. Doesn't justify the destruction of 20% of the population though does it? Or do you think it does?

I *want* English children (and you) to know 20% of the Irish population died during the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland

The evidence of torture was being erased. Women raped, children tortured. But hey, they have railways.

Yes
Do you know why the British colonial forces burned all their recourse before leaving Kenya?

Again, what mention is there of the multitude of famines in India, the creation of concentration camps, or the dark legacy in Africa after ww2? How can you understand how you are viewed abroad if you don't understand this?

'Everybody studies the transatlantic slave trade'.... Not any more - no longer mandatory in UK. Your view is this is the best way to teach about the empire because it so clear cut from the perspective of abolition.

I don't disagree, all I'm saying is that most English people have very little understanding of their own history, particularly the darker side.

No, but add drogheda, famine in India, concentration camps in south Africa, and the Chinese opium wars. Just to be fair.

I'm aware of that. But the general view of Cromwell in the UK glosses over the atrocities. The time is limited' argument is a poor one. Cherry picking your history and not acknowledging or understanding it's dark side serves neither the British or their former imperial subjects well.

Try Cromwell

Big assumption on the first point. The British are generally blind to the imperialist veneer on most UK history curricula

Because the current US strategy is to have vassal state consumers. This is about markets. US wants Europe "... to abandon its failed focus on regulatory suffocation.” i.e. lower its standards to match the US. Everything in your article is about US hegemony, not allyship
