Powerful Argument for the Anglosphere

Daniel Mandel in today's The CaliforniaRepublic asks "Which elements best ensure durable alliances among sovereign nations?" His answer: "Common interests, coupled with shared historic political institutions and a willingness to integrate military power - with a common language a major bonus." He then goes on to make a clear, point-by-point case:

Australia, Britain and the United States have much in common. Each has stood apart politically in its region. Each is based on traditions of political liberty anchored in representative, secular government and free trade. Each has fought steadfastly alongside the other two during the past century. And all three share strong naval traditions and modern naval forces. Common language and advanced levels of technology would make naval integration, if not easy, at least achievable. . .
An Anglosphere alliance would also have a striking geographic advantage in its global naval coverage of the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans, as well as the Mediterranean Sea.
