USA germany russia
Cars financial services oil and gas commodities.
Those countries have biggest power to say anything.
While UK talking a lot in reality world doesn't need nothing from UK there is no gas no oil no food and not even skilled workers, they want to be leader for what ?
Talking and human rights talk doesn't heat the house doesn't fill the car tanks and it doesn't bring food on the table.

So rationally speaking UK and france just talking while germany russia and usa providing all what needed.
Off course £ is just all the world wealth and assets because everbody brings their wealth in UK and convert in £ but UK does not provide nothing else what world needs.
We need mostly cars gas oil and other commodities and best cars come from germany off course UK don't even make cars the rolce Royce is BMW and Bentley is wolkswagen.....so we get it from germany things what we we need.

And USA provide world police and security service and helping to boost cryptocurrency so usa got a lot things we need.

If we looking this way then we really understood that nato is failure USA Germany and Russia can't never fight with each other and If they fight it's bad for all world economic situation.

And nobody don't need green energy or green cars thats nonsense i need to hear the endine roars it gives me sadifaction even the old Mercedes 2000 -2004 s class it makes nice rorars so only self worthless person like Electricity cars i need to hear sound i need that roars wroom wroom i give zero fcs about envoiremental issues Im here to enjoying life full ways.

You have to do thorough research before you will make your conclusion. Although US contribution to the world in terms of energies and technology is very significant but that does not mean that UK is not contributing anything to the world.
