Time to spend money on things that count.

there is a film out 'House of Dynamite' or something - a nuke is spotted in the Pacific coming for Chicago, multiple attempts to shoot it down fail. One actor has the line ' it's like trying to shoot a bullet with a bullet'

 

we don't need to be able to fight more than 20 minutes if there's a real war next time

We would if it was about territory like in the Ukraine, but if it was about neutralising us then no, a few grenade launchers shot at a nuclear warhead will do next to nothing.

 

And if we are defending alone against an actual invasion, we are pretty fcked anyway, with France and Germany probably already overrun and the US abandoning us. So rearming is all about defending others, which I believe we are doing with giving some things to the Ukraine - our kit, their people.

we need to consider the unthinkable - build more shelters, get our people in secretly under cover of darkness, then launch a pre-emptive strike.
