In theory they have the most to lose - oh, hold on, the rich and powerful will then be courted by the victors to carry on being rich and powerful and the poor will carry on being trampled on - that's the way it usually goes

Framing of this is rigged. UK spends £68BN on defense covered by nuclear deterrent.Russian boogey man spends £72BN on defense. Never going to have a 1.3m army comparable to Russia.Invest in modern tactics & equip (drones, ISR etc).NATO is a racket -scare public & more £ 2 MIC. Scam.

If so, why when you know that UK govt as sovereign currency issuer spends £s into existence every time it 'pays for'?
