Alliances are archaic. In praise of neutrality

It took a five or six days after the US's assault on Iran to realise that Iran would defeat the US.

It came as a surprise to Xi who has better sources of information than I do.

Professor Marandi I think was the first to explain how things would unfold and was proven right.

Colonel Douglas Macgregor in his latest podcast New World - Israel Dying, NATO Dead & U.S. Defeated by Iran says the US defeat shows that countries can defend themselves with missiles and drones - and without American bases that endanger rather than protect them. 

People are starting to see this though people who say so are slimed as unpatriotic.

Almost the only time I agreed with Tony Benn, the British left-wing socialist politician, was when he said the UK could defeat a Russian invasion by guerrilla warfare. He was right about that as he was about wanting us to leave the EEC. 

He could have added that Russia was never going to attack us - something which remains true.

Now things have moved on, alliances are out of date and countries like Romania and my country the UK should be neutral - and therefore fee of subservience to a foreign power.
