I hope he uses his position to school the ass out of Trump on compassion, humility and respect. Trump has no idea what the elevation of the first America pope actually means. As soft American power fades, an American takes a role in an extraordinary position of soft power.

Heartbreaking. Andrew was not only a fine journalist but a kind, gentle compassionate human being who was deeply affected by the stories he covered. He will be so missed.

Puzzled by this - the investment in new nuclear warheads has no relationship with the ambition for 12 new attack submarines, so how can the second build upon the first? nuclear power plants, yes, submarine construction techniques for the new Trident boats, ditto. But warheads?
