Defence Secretary Grant Shapps giving a speech at London's Lancaster House, where he announced that Britain will send 20,000 service personnel to one of Nato's largest military exercises since the Cold War, as the alliance practises repelling an invasion by Russian President Vladimir Putin's forces, January 15, 2024
NOT since the idiot Gavin Williamson has the Ministry of Defence been occupied by someone so out of their depth as Grant Shapps.
A defence ministry in an imperialist state like Britain is best led by someone dwelling in the real world rather than the fantasy domain inhabited by this huckster in a hurry.
Shapps’s sabre-rattling speech this week had him in full deranged mode, dressing his gallop through the world’s hot spots with the tattered raiment of his “rules-based” international order.
Even those who are opposed to Britain’s sycophantic submission to the Atlanticist delusions of the new cold war have an interest in the great offices of state being occupied by rational beings who recognise the balance of power and probabilities.
More than any in the West Asian conflict zone, the Palestinian people have a very firm grasp of regional realities and a very clear idea that rules do not apply to their opprerssors.
