I swear, it'd be nice to see a major player with that language advantage... the only thing is, will it live long? I hope it can use its voice against the U.S and U.K empire...

    English is the tongue of imperialism and colonialism. You can even see this in Global South countries. Spanish-speaking Venezuela fights and defends its sovereignty while English-speaking Guyana doesn't even hide being controlled by Western oil companies. In Africa, the forefront of pan-Africanism is in the French-speaking AES headed by French-speaking Burkina Faso. Meanwhile, English-speaking Nigeria almost invaded Niger through ECOWAS while English-as-an-official-language Kenya is planning on sending troops to Haiti. It's no coincidence former Portuguese colony Macau has more or less integrated with the Mainland with no trouble whatsoever while former British colony Hong Kong had protests from people holding up "President Trump, please liberate Hong Kong."

    Least bad is probably Ireland or South Africa because at least their governments aren't openly Zionist. That's pretty much it.

      I am much too old to learn another language because English is evil and so are the people who speak it. Maybe one day the next generation of children will speak an indigenous language and force it upon their former colonizers.
