    Commentators all too quickly forget about the funds that go to maintain the UK nuclear deterrent. 2% or 2.5% GDP is not going to be directly to the building up the army, navy or air force, only a fraction will be available

    Greetings from Australia. I have a question and maybe you could help. Why are more questions not asked of Jake Sullivan and Donald Trump, in relation to their controversial positions on Ukraine? For example; If The USA were invaded and under constant missile attack by a powerful enemy, 1. Would Sullivan refuse to launch missiles at the enemy launch sites in fear of escalation? and 2. Would Trump be willing to hand over Alaska and the state of California as a trade off for peace????

    The issue with the thought that China and Russia can do this without US knowledge or interference is just silly. The route will still have to pass through the relatively small gap between Russia and Alaska of the USA. I think at one point it narrows to like 20 miles. So nothing is getting through there without US knowledge.
