Britain's defence minister Ben Wallace told parliament on Thursday there was no cause for alarm over his urgent trip to meet allies in the United States.

Asked about the visit to Washington, D.C., Wallace said: "I went to the Pentagon, the State Department, the National Security Adviser and other meetings, and made sure that we are all understanding our planning processes about what we would do in the event of a whole range of things."

"I don't think people should be alarmed by it ... I would hope they would take comfort that my priority is if necessary getting on a plane to go and do that."

He couldn’t pick up a secure phone and make a call? Odd.

Super duper secret stuff that can’t be discussed over alleged ‘secure’ phones for fear of those ‘secure’ phones being hacked?

I hope they don't have any of our nukes.

Well clearly Russia's observing that “Urgent” trip and who with as far more than “No cause for alarm”....the fact Britain's defense minister even spoke about it in the manner he did is sufficient enough to cause attention.

As so often the case Foreign and State Representatives all too often give more away than they would if they just keep their mouths shut. In this case the Defense Minister certainly did.

Yes, this is most relevant to the hysterical purpose behind the post and some of the comments.

“...our planning processes about what we would do in the event of a whole range of things...”

Right, like losing congress and then figuring out where to escape when the coup plotters are rounded up and executed. Pain is coming for the GloboHomos and the Gaystapo Biden regime. A French revolution orgy of bloodlust is going to be met out on all those COVID scumbags. /spit
