Is the point Britain should sheepishly hope Russia, China, most of Islam, Africa and parts of Asia don't keep interfering with western freedoms? Is the point its so expensive we should buy more butter for overweight British kids?
What is the point?
Easy to sit in Australia playing pacifist (which was the game before until the minute Japan looked that way in 1942..and would suffer similarly again if China turns its head today toward little old Oz- "please help American and Britain, hayyyeelp!!"). Its not so easy when you recognize Russia is our enemy.
Always was. We tried to be nice from 1991 on, but its a violent Tatarist, absolutist culture.
