Basics: Nuclear weapons are 80 year old technology. The technology of digging deeply considerably outpaces the technology of bomb penetration. Making ballistic missiles is very much cheaper than anti ballistic weapons. The rest is detail.

This is an article by me and MLR Smith. It attempts to explain the origin of contemporary Western defeats, which we argue lies in flawed strategic assumptions. It is accessible to general readers as well as specialists.

Edward Bernays wrote these words about politics 97 years ago: ā€˜Ours must be a leadership democracy administered by the intelligent minority who know how to regiment and guide the masses. Is this government by propaganda? Call it, if you prefer, government by education. But

It is disgusting but, really, in the scheme of things to be upset about: Charlene Downes (14) was also *literally slaughtered* and over 20 years ago. Look it up.

Is it too much to ask that you comment on him telling Brits who want their country back to ā€˜shut the fuck up’? Sorry, rhetorical question. We know it’s too difficult for the media to observe the completely obvious. Hence our national predicament. None of you stand up for your own

In my book, The Guarded Age: Fortification in the 21st Century (Polity, 2024) I explained how and why this was happening. Westminster was a main case study of a fundamental strategic tension between security, aesthetics, and economy. What you invest in one thing detracts from the

Glastonbury got people listening seriously. This, from a former No 10 personage, clarifies the battle lines very precisely. I guess he didn’t read Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals. Otherwise it’s hard to explain why he’d serve up such a perfect encapsulation of the external

The Home Office isn’t fit for purpose and neither is the defence ministry. The Foreign office is ridiculous and the Treasury’s imploded. Justice is a joke. I could go on. It can’t continue and it won’t.

Liars tend to complicate things unnecessarily. Rutte could’ve just said Russia produces 12 times more artillery shells in a year than NATO. Of course you don’t need a lie detector to understand Rutte’s also an idiot.
