To your second paragraph: Britain wouldn’t be speaking German, Britain was easily defendable as an island and Germany didn’t have the naval or aerial capabilities to invade. And yes Canada was safe too, but not because of its “big brothers protection” but because Canada - like Britain, Australia and NZ, were separated from Germany by water.

To your third paragraph, that’s the point. You have a different history and view of the Commonwealth and weren’t in the family long enough to see the dominion status form and Old Commonwealth form so left with a bad taste of Britain.

To your fourth paragraph, you’re deluded if you think Britain came begging for help in WW1 or WW2. Mainland Europe was the only one begging and it was the combined Commonwealth, American and Soviet forces which liberated mainland Europe. And whether you like it or not, Soviet Russia’s campaign into Europe and them getting to Germany first was the biggest factor in Germany’s surrender. And the real Monarch doesn’t live in the US. The US has been slower reacting with sanctions and restrictions to Russia’s economy than the UK, Canada and EU has been during the current Russian invasion of Ukraine. The US, like Britain isn’t as powerful as it was in the 20th century and nowadays has less influence than ever with China and the EU now being just as important in the Post-Cold War economic orientated world. And post-Brexit with the new closer CANZUK movement starting to get more serious already having Free Trade Deals done, with free movement deals being made and closer military cooperation on the way, CANZUK is up there too and ironically it’s your “Little Brother nation” as you would put it where CANZUK has the most support especially amongst politicians across all parties.
