If I switched on the news tomorrow and the headline is “The USA has bombed…”, any country or continent could be at the end of that sentence and my surprise (or lack of) would be the same.

The USA is being run with no guard rails by a deranged dictator, backed up by white supremacists and corporate robber barons. Any country is fair game including NATO members, in response the UK should switch to a war economy.

      What does a war economy look like? From elsewhere in the discussion:

      ramping up defense spending, lowering luxury imports, increasing stockpiles of vital materials, and reducing reliance of foreign finished goods… Moving away from global tech services and developing our own… removing reliance on US social media and technology as quickly as possible.
