Imagine having a major war, and some of the most powerful countries in the world just a few decades ago didn’t get an invitation, or even a warning. Totally dissed and dismissed. Britain, France, Germany – nothing. The second tier states – Canada and Spain – got even less respect. They didn’t even get a phone call to tell them it was going down. It’s especially pathetic when it comes to Great Britain, a nation once so martial that even the names of its best punk bands (The Clash and the Sex Pistols) evoke a martial mindset. Now it’s a nation of military Teletubbies. The United States called up Britain and said, “Hey, we want to use some of your airfields,” and Labour loser Kier Starmer decided to turn the special relationship into an unnatural one by refusing. And what happened? America shrugged and went on to glory with its new pals. And Britain was humiliated. 

It’s nothing. It’s not even an afterthought anymore. Poland has a bigger army. Israel has a more effective one. Now Israel is the peer ally that Britain once was, a force that America cannot only interact with but can actually provide value. What does Britain provide? Its once-mammoth fleet is a puny flotilla. The Royal Air Force is a shadow of what the legendary RAF was in World War II. Sure, its troops are skilled. They’re very good at what they do – both of them. But despite their quality, they’re lacking in quantity. They are providing the answer to the question, “What if we gave a war and nobody else from the West came?”

They were on the outside looking in. And everybody sees what’s happening. Everybody sees what these great powers have devolved into. This isn’t an accident. This is deliberate. The fact that none of these great powers can field anything like an effective military force that has the capacity to stop a bunch of seventh-century savages who want to stick a hot rock on top of its next generation of ballistic missiles. They couldn’t quite do it when Donald Trump initiated the beginning of the end of this 47-year-long war against America and civilization – the ayatollahs have fired missiles at a dozen neighboring countries in retaliation – even though the next generation of ballistic missiles is going to be able to drop on Berlin, Paris, Madrid, or London.

Think about it. They were on the verge of being held hostage by the mullahs, and they couldn’t summon up the intestinal fortitude to do anything about it. Worse, when America did do something about it, along with Israel, they whined about how it’s against “international law.” Which international law is that? The one they enforce? They enforce nothing. We enforce international law. We are international law. International law is a B-2 bomber dropping a bunker buster in an Iranian factory 50 feet underground.

They’re just a bunch of nation-state Karens blowing their stupid whistles at the ICE agents hauling thieves, rapists, and murderers out of their neighborhood.
