maybe the Americans-in-Spaaace could invade Airstrip One, aka the
british
isles. after all, we all know that modern americans are really british
(the war of independence was, after all, won by british people against
the
armies of a german king), and modern brits really american (fathered by
GIs during ww2 and raised on a diet of imported american media and junk
food). thus, what could be more natural than the americans reclaiming
their rightful home (britain), leaving the british in posession of
america?
