I don't think they really have much of an empire anymore, not one with any teeth at least.

Yes they live vicariously through American military might, which is why they were seething when we pulled out of Afghanistan

That's how allies work. . .
The French rightfully said no to Iraq 2.

Most of the world condemned it.

"All" of the USA's wars, but you can only name two? By "Brits", you're referring only to the Blair government?

Also: who ever actually imagined that Iraq and Afghanistan were starter kits for a 21st century empire? Answer: it wasn't the fucking Brits, I can tell you that.

When British politicians say they dont want an empire, theyre lying
There are Tories and probably UKIP types who plonk rose-tinted goggles with specially distorting filter lenses on their noses, and get all misty-eyed with sentimental nostalgia about "the Empah", sure. But saying that about all British politicians is very, very silly.
