In 1947 when the US flag flew from the Tower of London, I dare say I thought this here British Empire was toast! Fortunately for me, the United States wasn't counting on Canada.
With all of the US forces in Europe, or the Pacific, they had no-one defending the 48 contiguous states! Our sexy Canadian forces rolled into New England around '46 and captured New York on the same day London fell. The US threatened nukes of course, but it's not like it would change anything when the British High Command was already making itself at home in Boston.
Golly gee, it took a few years before the Isles were resecured with Soviet and French help, but we did it. In the end, New England - that is, Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts - and Alaska wave the Royal Union Flag these days.
God, how I love karma. Truman was livid, chaps! But hey, that's what he gets for invading Britain and her other bits and pieces.

Well I’m 96, I was a soldier in WHATS known as the Great War of the 40s. So it being 2023 now a lot of people have asked “where were you in during 9/11”, “where were you when we nuked Iran”, “where were you when MLK, or JFK got shot”, and “where were you when America invaded and annexed the UK?”.

Well Ill tell you where I was when American invaded and annexed the UK. I was 24 and still in the American Army’s special unit. We were either the best of the best shots or the best of the best brains. We were tasked with killing King Gorge , Winston Churchill, and Clement Attlee. We were also tasked with taking over London and any other city we can get. So here’s my story.

It there was me [1Lt. Sean James], 2Lt. Huston, Spc. Turner, Sgt. Tucker, Cpl. Marcell, Spc. Johnson, Spc. Nat,and Spc. McCarthy in my group. We had some Airman backing us up if needed on a aircraft carrier. Now all government documents say that we used only American guns but that’s a lie we used any guns we could. The Mg we used was a MG42 if that tells you anything.

So here’s what happened the first thing we did was send as many missiles we had [all ballistic] into every city except London they got 4 missiles and that’s when we came in a day after we bombed London.
