The BIG BAD RUSSIAN BEAR!
Once again from Russian Times [RT].
Back in the old days of the Cold War they used to call it the RED BOGEY!
"bogey - - "a common allusion to a mythical creature in many cultures used by adults to frighten children into good behaviour"
"Britain’s top Army general begs for more cash so he can fight… guess who"
"The UK Army chief is deploying one of Britain’s most well-tested military tactics – begging for money by using Russia to scare the public and government into action."
"General Sir Nick Carter will reportedly tell the Royal United Services Institute that he’s worried that Britain’s military is not keeping up with its adversaries – basically Russia – with particular concern about Moscow’s long-range missiles, 'aggressive expeditionary force' and 'cyber-warfare capabilities.'”
AGAIN, THAT FEAR AS ENUNCIATED TO INCLUDE CYBER-WARFARE! CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE UNDER ATTACK, DISABLED, TAKEN OFF LINE, INOPERABLE! WHO NEEDS BOMBER WARPLANES AND LONG-RANGE MISSILES WHEN ALL YOU NEED IS A KEYBOARD AND INTERNET ACCESS!
Great Britain as it stands now one of only five nations, constituent members of NATO that meet the agreed upon goal of devoting 2 % of Gross Domestic Product to defense related spending.
Sir Nick says now there must be more spending. This will not over well I am afraid.
