Drachinifel, I love your channel and am submitting a Drydock question as a new patreon (sorry about placing this in the wrong forum--a bit new at this).I would be interested in your take on my observation that, while your discussions on the Great Anglo-American War of the late 1920's are amazingly informative, the war could not have happened for the same reason that it did not happen.From the United State's perspective, it would have been a war that simply could not have been won. Even without the likely pro-British involvement of France and possibly Italy, the two-ocean threat of Japan and Britain added to the limitations of the Panama Canal as well as Britain's superior naval tradition and better ability to incorporate the lessons of Jutland would prove to be too much. Even jingoistic half-wits like Tillman had to understand this (Don't believe me? Look at the beam of the Tillman 4-2 and try not to laugh).From the British perspective, already exhausted from WWI, the commitment necessary to prevail would render victory pyrrhic. Furthermore, the United States' unbridled egotism of that era would have to leave Britain concerned that the United States may not be tethered by the unfeasible nature of its position. See Blazing Saddles, "He's just crazy enough to do it." I would appreciate any thoughts or disagreement that you might have with my observation and its supporting premises.Thank you,Gabe Hawkins
