Eco-Warriors

Should the Trumpster and his head-tribble finally forsake the pacific zeal of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation, the remnants will have only themselves to blame. An offensively woke cabal of retired senior officers has called for investment in renewable energy both domestically and overseas, on the patently simple-minded grounds that increased global stability would constitute less of a threat to national security than its opposite. The group even goes so far as to hint that military budgets might be better expended on such things than on the kind of new toys with which ministries of war customarily facilitate the supreme sacrifices of their plucky little servicepersons. Governments in the Free World, assuming they pay any attention at all, will most likely be somewhat disturbed at the endless naïvety of the military mind, which still seems to imagine that any NATO member's national security planning ought somehow to be concerned with national security.
