Britain ’s diplomatic strategy for more than 150 years has been to ensure that the U.S. was never our enemy and if possible our ally.
This was dressed up with sentimentality, especially on our side.
But the US has often been predatory and isolationist.
The great Lord Palmerston thought we should be friendly with power that could do us most harm.
We need submarines, planes, drones and operational aircraft carriers.
We need a serious defensive and offensive cyber capacity the modern equivalent of Palmerston ’s gunboats.
This would require fundamental political changes, including redirecting public spending and postponing net zero .
Whether the Government does this will tell us whether it is just play-acting.
