I believe the word is "war". The US is acting much as Germany did - only worse, because he intends to attack an ally. I hope we'll stand for this as much as we did in 1939, i.e. we didn't. You might say we've no chance - a tiny little island against a juggernaut. But people said that in 1939. Guess what? We won (ironically with the aid of the US, not against them).

Time to ID strategic targets in the UK...and either avoid them, if you think we can survive a nuclear exchange (remember "Threads", and Sheffield was hit with one A-bomb - we never saw what was, or rather wasn't, left of London), or head towards them and be atomised. At least it'll be quick. Hopefully the dolphins and/or apes will do better than we did.

Well, we got 88 years after fission was discovered c/o Otto Hahn, which is a bit better...
