Nothing new about that ZZ. Since the Spanish American war America and Great Britain have been on the same frequency.
And why not? We are living the history of the English speaking people. Aren't we?

If the Brits are not touchy about it I would love to see Scotland and Wales and England and Northern Ireland join the Union as 4 new states. Maybe some form of Compromise and let them enter as eight States.
