    I have to admit the sound of all these military cuts as mentioned on faithful radio this morning are alarming. Mr Hague continues to insist that we will still be a world military power but its hard to see how. We will for example have 2 aircraft carriers built (already contracted for) but will have no planes for them for more than 10 years. Its bizarre. The Royal Navy are particularly being clobbered as I understand it.

    The USA are worried about our committment to NATO or indeed wondering if we still have the ability to be a NATO player.

    A word about the Americans though...they really do do the 'world police' role for us all in so many ways. Its almost a new role, this role of world police, but the concept is being embraced by our own government who recognise that the challenges we face now are different. But I dont think we could ever relax enough to follow the Swiss role!
