Dominic Cummings isn't everybody's cup of tea, but he does have first-hand experience of that about which he writes, and isn't afraid to draw unfashionable conclusions where the evidence so leads.
"It’s ‘impossible’ to control our borders but we must fight over Ukraine’s borders"
"We must coverup the rape gangs ‘for community cohesion’ and to continue mass immigration but we will rally on TV to fight ‘the new Hitler’ thousands of miles away with forces that do not exist"
"We must transform the MoD and defence procurement because fake budgets and disastrous procurement are destroying our forces"
"The combination of the above policies with ‘Ukraine should join NATO’ ... mixes great weakness with provocation on exactly the wrong thing"
"they can write interesting things about military operations, drones and tanks etc, but they cannot write anything realistic about the politics and the politics is always more fundamental and is our regime’s spectacular failure"
"Ukraine is existential for Russia. It is trivial for America and Britain"
"The West was deluded over the effect of sanctions ..."
" ... we were delusional over India and non-China Asia ... "
But were these (and other) "delusions" themselves delusions? Is there an (unthinkable) alternative explanation for why these delusions so consistently prevailed?
Were they (for example) driven by the 'military industrial complex'? Cui bono?
And is Parliament fit for purpose if it cannot escape the prevailing delusions?
It's not as though these "delusions" are by themselves - we also have the Covid delusions (too many to enumerate here) and the green delusions currently eviscerating our industrial base and community norms, not to mention the delusion of the much-promised lower levels of immigration ...
How so many delusions coming to a head in so few years?
It's a long article, but one that demands our attention. Not to mention careful evaluation.
"WE should announce that WE will NOT be deterred by Russian nuclear threats ... But Russia WILL be deterred by OUR threats (nuclear and non-nuclear) and actions (including attacks on Russian territory) and RUSSIA must ‘show self-restraint’ "
Can nobody see what has been going on here? Can nobody see whither all this nonsense is leading?
