With a staccato burst, a horn sounded in the control room of the H.M.S. Vanguard, sending the crew of the nuclear-armed Royal Navy submarine to battle stations. The voice of the commanding officer crackled over the intercom. “Set condition 1SQ,” he said, ordering its battery of ballistic missiles to be readied for launch.
It was just a drill, conducted last Monday for a visiting V.I.P., Prime Minister Keir Starmer...
Back on a tugboat, taking us to shore in the Firth of Clyde, Mr. Starmer sat alone, staring out a window at the gathering clouds. It has been a defining, if sobering, few weeks for the 62-year-old British leader: Swept into power eight months ago on a tide of discontent about the cost of living, he now finds himself fighting to avert a rupture of the post-World War II alliance between Europe and the United States.
“In our heart of hearts, we’ve known this moment was coming from just over three years ago, when Russian tanks rolled across the border” of Ukraine, Mr. Starmer said of Europe’s heightened vulnerability and the strains in the NATO alliance. “We have to treat this as a galvanizing moment and seize the initiative.”

The UK rents their ICBMs from Lockheed, LOLZ!
Starmer was sent by Satan to humiliate and destroy the British people.
I asked GPT how many military satellites the UK has and when they were launched.
It replied, one. Launched September of last year.
You may be right. Starmer is a atheist, like so many of his grneration. An unwitting tool of evil.

That was deliberately.
Incinerating tens of millions of innocent people because of escalating tensions in Europe would be idiotic beyond belief. President Trump and his team are working hard to defuse this situation, but the Brits especially have been working hard to keep things escalating to its obvious conclusion.
All hands man your battle stations sounds cooler.
I can’t believe how little information the NYT packed into that 1000 word article.
Agree.
If you’ve known the time was coming when you would have to start providing for your own defense instead of just freeloading off of America, why are 9 NATO members still not at the measly 2% of GDP on Defense everybody agreed to spend back in 2014?
That moment when you realize you’re just an island.
The have four, none commissioned this century. The Vanguard was commissioned in 1993, so about 32 years old.
Well, that is a hallucination. There are 6 military communication satellites called Skynet alone.
How foolish of Britain to trust the US.
[Allegedly] female actresses demand to be "pronouned" as "actors" to satisfy DEI.
Until they (the female actresses) want to be THE ACTRESS to win the "Best Actress" Oscars award.
In other words, the female actresses want it both ways; meaning, they are elligible for the "Best Actor" Oscars award, too.
Transformative Intersectional Conundrum Thingy Moment:
Either the "Best Actress" award is "bad" and should have a Swastika stamped on it, or the [allegedly] male actors are elligible for the "Best Actress" Oscars award.
Maybe Keir could pray harder to his ‘god’ Klaus Schwab’ and hope for some better result.
What was foolish was for the Brits to politically align openly with the DNC and work to advance Marxism in the US. Their bluff has been called. America was resilent in the face of Godlessness, and is in the midst of a revival of the Christian faith. Of course the realignment of the US and Russia, both now the Christian leaders of the world as superpowers is going to advance the destruction of the Godless EUropeans.
