And the worst example (in modern times, too, and cannot
be dismissed as the colonial morals of a far-distant age)
is the island of Diego Garcia where the invading Brits
forcibly removed all the natives in order to give the
island to the Yanks as an aircraft carrier. Until the Yanks
and the Brits refuse to have anything to do with the island,
then their actions in the Malvinas and in Kuwait are pure hypocrisy.

And the US Virgin Islands. And Guantanamo Bay. And Guam. And
numerous other Pacific islands (many of which were used for nuclear
testing).
Not forgetting what was British Honduras, and all the unsinkable aircraft
