My read: he's realized that England's government gave up with hint of a clue it had after the rise of the EU, Brexit is about to reveal that fact, and it's time to grasp at straws in hopes that some kind of half assed imitation of ARPA will save it?

Come now. Let's just accept England's natural fate as a US protectorate alongside Guam if it leaves the EU.

The US is looking for allies not protectorates.

Giving the benefit of doubt, I'm assuming that they meant the UK being a protector of the US interest[s]; however, I could be wrong.

Considering they specifically mentioned "alongside Guam," I have to assume they meant becoming a territory of the United States.
