CV and mad panic behaviour

[Mav]

And destroy alliances, international commitments in a threatened world?  This isn't the utopian land of Star Trek.  Or surrender monkeys.   

I guess you could argue that the lack of immediate threats is due to the military expenditure and those who assume we could have had the same level of protection if the military didn’t exist are wrong. Much like I would argue that those who say the low level of Covid infection would have been the same in the absence of restrictions are naive.

And I guess you would argue that the absence of visible military threats doesn’t mean they aren’t developing. Much as I’d argue that the absence of a new Covid wave doesn’t mean one is not on the horizon.
