The UK - nah they are too weak and small. But I could see a world where a U.S. leader claims that they are the successor state to the british empire and thus have the right to reclaim the land.

I mean, why not? We already exist on stolen land, and our border policy with Mexico is fueled by colonialism.

Note so I'm not misunderstoodJust to be clear, I'm being satirical and don't really think we should extend our colonial arm even further, but it's important to realize that we already pretty much do this.

Let's not forget that the royal family is actually of German descendance.

Before we attribute the empire to the US we should ask the Reichbürger (literally empirce-citizens, kinda like sovereign citizens, but they believe in Monarchy) of Germany if they have a suitable leader for the empire.

I mean if you go back 300 years, but then if you go back 1000-1300 then most of England & Scotland starts to look pretty German (Anglo-Saxons, Norse), with England getting significant French & Scandinavian (Norman = French Norse) influence after and tenuously Austrian (Celts) before that... The native British people were completely wiped out at least twice before that, so frankly all sorts of European nations *could* have a claim if Putin rules applied
