When the crisis comes.
Our preparations for the Second World War were feeble. The pacifists and equivalent of today's liberal left had virtually disarmed us in the 1930s and we were disastrously under-prepared for a war of self defence.That was one problem and similarities with today are clear. Our only genuine hope of protection, should an invader ever arise again, is the NATO alliance which is being gradually marginalised in W. Europe as the EU continues working to its own imperialistic agenda. It even has the gall to steal NATO's thunder and claim that it is the EU which has kept the peace in Europe since World War Two. Utterly dishonest!
Be under no illusions - the EU would never put troops into action to defend us - it is far more likely to use them to suppress the nation to force it to toe the EU line. The European Union is trying to grab hold of the strings to control our Armed Forces as I speak. [Brexit may prevent this.]
It is ironic in the extreme that it is such people as Bomber Blair who, having abused the role of our brave soldiers, sailors and airmen in his own selfish projects of self-glorification, should be in the forefront of wanting to see us hand over future control of these forces to foreign nations. Their only interest in us is the degree to which their sinister overlord , the EU, can tell us what to do.
NATO was never like this!
