BRITISH BELLIGERENCE: THE THREE Stooges

Britain has never been weaker since its Empire began going downhill more than a century ago. Brexit has left it shaken and uncertain about the future. And London’s domestic, mini-empire may be about to unravel, imperiled by secessionist forces in Scotland, Northern Ireland and perhaps even Wales.

Yet Whitehall has seldom sounded more belligerent and warlike on the international scene. Ferociously shit-talking both Russia and China have been its three upfront faces: PM BoJo, foreign affairs boss Raab and defense honcho Wallace. They have dispatched a carrier task force to the “Far East” to intimidate China. And not a day seems to pass without some ominous warning directed at Russia (story below). They appear to have morphed into US-style neocons.

What on earth can London’s Three Stooges be up to? Surely they understand that to speak loudly and carry a small stick is not an effective way to achieve anything … or do they? [Thomas Polin]
