All of which you speak Prof are ideals, not reality…
1) Bollo*cks
2) Drone tech, that may or may not be true, but until they’ve seen combat action against our biggest adversaries we won’t know.
3) China/Russia/Iran/N Korea do think long term, particularly China. The western democratic systems cannot compete as things stand, that is just a fact, as any incoming government can change their individual countries direction negating any proposed overarching strategy…even if they were able to agree one.
4) US has worse problems? Rubbish.
5) Are you suggesting that illegal migration doesn’t need to be dealt with??
6) Have they?
7) I agree…but we don’t…
8) They never have.
The idiocy is generated by the very political establishments that you are advocating.
We can’t ignore short termism in the West due to electoral cycles…unless you want to abolish those…
What about reports about China and Iran as well?
European army? The EU can’t agree on anything. How will that work?
All for expanding trade, but would rather that those trades relations don’t involve industrial espionage and intellectual property theft from our “business partners”.
I reserve the right to say I told you so when it all goes t*ts up
