"...He knows he’d never win a fight with Nato, let alone survive nuclear warfare."


Surely they must know Tisdale is a total crackpot... or are we wrong and they print it because it actually reflects elite "thinking"?
If so we are in serious trouble because in that case our masters have deluded themselves into believing that the west has got a special magic immunity to Nuclear war...and that a few million hectares of foreign owned wheat-growing real estate (with irradiated Russian "options" on completion...) is apparently worth the risk of mutually assured destruction.

-I have never known, even in the cold war, a time in which our rulers were so out of touch with reality that they mouth these kinds of insanities so glibly.
