Shall we all ignore the fact that the officials of the United Kingdom claim Britain to be threatened by China, Russia and Iran without giving a reason for this claim, or what could possibly be a motive to attack Britain. And what simple-minded tough talk that leaves out mention of the incoming nuclear missiles that would be answering Britain's Trident missiles.
U.K. Changes Nuclear Strike Rules Over Cyber, Chemical and Bioweapon Attacks
By David Brennan, Newsweek, 3/16/21
Prime Minister Boris Johnson informed Parliament that the UK will now expand its nuclear arsenal.
"The 100 page report titled 'Global Britain in a Competitive Age,' is the product of an integrated review of security, defence and foreign policy designed to refocus British policy in the face of perceived threats from Russia, China, and other adversaries."
Do Earthlings just sit around and merely listen to the officials of the former #1 genocidal colonial powered British Empire citing imaginary threats from Russia and China and calling them adversaries? Neither the Chinese nor Russians refer to Britain as an adversary. It is up to us observant bystanders to call a spade a spade, such braggadocio from a apparent bunch of jerks.
The same CNBC article seemed to report a British plan to return to world empire status?
Indo-Pacific tilt
The Integrated Defense Review also outlined a new "tilt" toward the Indo-Pacific region.
"By 2030, we will be deeply engaged in the Indo-Pacific as the European partner with the broadest, most integrated presence in support of mutually-beneficial trade, shared security and values," the document reads.
It says the U.K. will the push into the Indo-Pacific region partly in response to "geopolitical and geoeconomic shifts" including China's global "power and assertiveness," as well as the growing importance of the region to "global prosperity and security."
The report references partnerships with countries including India, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam.
