James Alexander: America’s National Security Warning to Europe

There is value in following Trump’s comments. I wanted to see the recent interview in which he said “Europe is weak”, and this led me to something more serious, more apparently serious, I should say (since they are related): the recent publication of the ‘National Security Strategy of the United States of America‘. A primary document. I found it, and printed it out: 30 pages. And it is a good read: well-written, lacking the sort of matron-in-the-asylum-in-denial tone that afflicts the style in which HM Government documents are written.

James Alexander: What Should Be Done About Britain’s Impending Collapse?

There is a rising sense, on at least our side, that the world, and, specifically, the United Kingdom, is in a state of crisis, collapse or incipient civil war. What should be done?

We have significant figures who argue for various things that should be done. The things are more important than the people who advocate them. But it is hard to hold onto thoughts. Concrete is more memorable than abstract. So I want to identify the things that we should do with those who, it seems to me, are arguing for them the hardest. Saying what should be done is a collective activity, and I see many people contributing to it. But we should all row together, as in a college eight.
