When righteous calls to end the war become warmongering . . . . . Putin no longer holds upper hand in war . . . . . Russian fuel depot of 'national importance' struck in Udmurt Republic . . . . .

If the new ‘defence’ allocation was all spent on cheap domestically produced drones and robust cyber-defence, I might almost be impressed. Sadly, it’s more likely to be spent on expensive and outdated hardware, thanks to lobbying from the legacy defence industry.

#Warmongering as usual from the Burnham government.
Streeting: “ Trump has called on Europe to carry a greater share of the burden for our own defence, and he is right to do so.
“The UK has always been a leading light on defence spending, but the world is changing and in these dangerous uncertain times it is clear that we have needed to go further.

Stop the War Coalition and the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament said: “To hand the Treasury purse strings to a man who demanded a £197 billion increase in arms and nuclear weapons spending demonstrates beyond doubt that the military industrial complex is in charge of Burnham’s economic policy.
“The arms dealers and generals are undoubtedly now in the cabinet. John Healey’s appointment as chancellor will inevitably mean huge fights over welfare, health and housing to come.
“None of the social and economic ambitions — tackling the cost-of-living crisis in particular — that Burnham claims to aspire to will be possible if an ever-growing portion of the economy is devoted to war and destruction,”

Fwiw, that's pretty much where my mind went: if they are framing it as being paid for by cancelling #DigitalID, then we're still in the grip of handbag economics too.

Burnham may have to boost defence spending to pass ‘Moscow test’, says ex-military chief | Defence policy | The Guardian

The "U.S." government ignores international law, domestic law, anything that stands in the way of their masters, the rich, and the gathering of ever increasing profits. You too will be ignored and tossed aside in this pursuit. They don't care about you and you will never "vote hard" enough to earn even a scrap of respect from them. You are a resource to be used and discarded once used up. This will continue for you and your children unless we end it.

Can't stress this enough:
"British military spending is among the highest in the world, diverts scarce resources from far better causes and fuels international conflict."

One to destroy, is Murder by the Law,
And Gibbets keep the lifted Hand in Awe.
To murder Thousands, takes a specious Name,
War’s glorious Art, and gives immortal Fame.
O great Alliance! O divine Renown!
With Death and Pestilence to share the Crown!
When Men extol a wild Destroyer’s Name,
Earth’s Builder and Preserver they blaspheme.Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) American statesman, scientist, philosopher, aphorist

A quotation from Henry Commager
Who are those who are really disloyal? Those who inflame racial hatreds, who sow religious and class dissensions. Those who subvert the Constitution by violating the freedom of the ballot box. Those who make a mockery of majority rule by the use of the filibuster. Those who impair democracy by denying equal educational facilities. Those who frustrate justice by lynch law or by making a farce of jury trials. Those who deny freedom of speech and of the press and of assembly. Those who press for special favors against the interest of the commonwealth. Those who regard public office as a source of private gain. Those who would exalt the military over the civil. Those who for selfish and private purposes stir up national antagonisms and expose the world to the ruin of war.
Henry Steele Commager (1902-1998) American historian, writer, activist

They have to lie, because no sane human desires war (and real reasons for an offensive one are rare or inexistent).

"#Trump says he will order the U.S. #military to commit #warcrimes against #Iran if the strait is not reopened."
We certainly hope the commanders of the #forces involved paid close attention to their 8 million fellow #Americans who took to the streets to decry the rise of #autocratic #warmongering maniacs.

#PeteHegseth prays at Pentagon service for 'overwhelming violence'
Fernando Cervantes Jr.
March 26, 2026"Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth called for 'overwhelming violence of action' against those who 'deserve no mercy' during a monthly Christian service held at the Pentagon on March 25, a day after he announced major changes to the military's chaplaincy corps.
"Speaking to military and civilian employees at the livestreamed service, Hegseth quoted Scripture and read a prayer he said was first offered by a military chaplain during a past U.S. operation. The prayer asked God to 'let every round find its mark against the enemies of righteousness and our great nation.'" 'Give them wisdom in every decision, endurance for the trial ahead, unbreakable unity, and overwhelming violence of action against those who deserve no mercy,' Hegseth said. He also called on God to 'break the teeth of the ungodly.' "

Re-listening to #KarlJenkins' "The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace" - can't believe it was recorded in 2001, so it pre-dated at least two instances of American #warmongering
