Apart from the final sentence he almost makes sense.
A first for Viv.........

Sending anything to Ukraine is sheer stupidity, when we don't have the necessary military resources to defend ourselves. Russia should not have invaded Ukraine, in most people's opinions, but it has nothing to do with us, 13,000 kilometres away as it is.

If the show pony ex-comedian Ukrainian president thinks that having the country razed to the ground and the population killed or made homeless is preferable to whatever Russia has to offer rather than death and never ending horror, so be it.

Another losing American war we, against our better instincts, will be implicated with by fawning Politicians.

I’ll rethink my position when bombs finally land on American soil. Then and only then!

At the Nato summit in Madrid, the demented President Biden has announced the United States is to significantly boost its military, naval and air presence in Europe, including bolstered deployments to front-line states bordering Russia. Biden's announcement indicates that the US is increasingly willing to risk direct military confrontation with the Putin regime.

The balloon could go up at any time. While the US is 'bolstering' in Europe, what about us? Will their be enough of America’s might left over to protect us from China? China is sure to move Taiwan up on its to-do list, with Joe willing to confront their mate Russia.

Please, President Comedian, can we have our Bushmasters back?

Nothing has changed, really. We have had a target on our back for some time and by a nuclear armed entity. As for the bushmasters, their role in that theatre may well result in sales elsewhere as manufactured exports?

As for net zero? Doable if we transition to nuclear power ASAP. Nuclear power is carbon-free power! And we need to go nuclear given the potential adversary is a nuclear armed entity as is Russia.

Non nuclear proliferation is a joke, given every nation that wanted to go nuclear has done so including several outside the non proliferation joke!. Moreover, only nuclear power will enable a return to onshore manufacturing.

We have to get past the irrational nuclear power fearmongering and understand all we need fear is fear itself!

If we do have this target on our back? the only solution is to build stuff faster than the potential adversary! We have the resources! What is missing is our own owned and controlled energy and at prices that have every high tech manufacturer beating a path to our door! Understand just two things.

Just 8 grams of thorium contains enough energy to power your house and car for a century without refueling! Thorium is the most energy dense material on the planet!

Let's end the fearmongering BS and just crack on with what needs doing! And that ain't sitting on our hands as usual waiting for someone else to do it for us! Let the evidence speak as opposed to the usual antinuclear/green BS.

Viv Forbes is right with that one !
