From the time of Alfred the Great in the 9th Century, the good kings of England made sure that every male citizen was armed with personal, military grade weaponry: weapons for offense, and personal armor for personal protection.
Wicked and tyrannical Kings like John (13th Century) fell down in their duties “to inspect every citizen twice a year” to ensure that each possessed military arms. In 1215, a group of armed citizens forced him to sign an agreement that he would resume these and other duties. Essential words and meaning of this “Magna Carta” said,
“Know that before God, for the health of our soul and those of our ancestors and heirs, to the honour of God,” you will not be a tyrant, and we who are armed will hold you to this agreement you are signing this day.
Today the citizens of the British Isles are disarmed. This happened slowly, by incremental acts of administrative law and other arbitrary rules. The bureaucratic government even forced the late Queen Elizabeth II to surrender her personal collection of family guns.
This later in May, her son will be crowned King Charles III. Will the nation hold him accountable to rebuild an armed citizenry? Or are the men of that nation now so domesticated, weak, passive and ignorant that they will continue to follow the script written by the petty-tyrants in government? What in the world will citizens mean when they chant, “God Save King Charles?”

Yesterday, February 24, was the projected, anticipated but classified D-Day attack on Iran by American air power. But it did not happen.
One possible reason: A week ago, self-described "jerk" Tucker Carlson had the courage to confront his friend Ambassador Mike Huckabee on definitions of Israel's claims to geographic territory. Huckabee insisted that the Bible gave today's secularized, anti-Biblical Israel all the land currently held, and Palestine, and more: all across those current Arab nations stretching from the Nile to the Euphrates.
Is this accurate Biblical theology? No.
Huckabee so angered the nations of the Islamic world that there will now be none of the necessary alliances President Trump needed to wage war against Shia Iran. Huckabee’s statement caused immediate, unified, diplomatic condemnation from many possible wartime allies, including Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Egypt.
Thank you, Tucker, for asking theological questions.
In Pete Hegseth’s world, generals and admirals are valued by their weight and muscle tone, not their seriousness in defending the Constitution. Personal loyalty to the president with a Ken or Barbie shine trumps courage, competence, and patriotism every day of the week.
Yet, these guys are not responsible for bad sewage design on an aircraft carrier, F-35s that are only operational 35% of the time, a slow, expensive, discombobulated logistics tail for every major American weapons system, or for US foreign policy founded on the nutty idea that we can borrow our way into permanent global dominance. They perpetuate it because, like their predecessors, they are not interested in how the system works, only in how it can work for them.

This time by Medvedev — answering RT’s question about France and Britain’s plans to transfer nuclear weapons to Ukraine:
“I’ll say something obvious and harsh.
"Information from the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation about France and Britain’s intention to transfer nuclear technologies to the Kiev Nazi regime radically changes the situation. And it’s not about the destruction of the NPT and other things in international law. This is a direct transfer of nuclear weapons to a warring country.
"There can’t be the slightest doubt that under such circumstances, Russia will have to use any, including non-strategic nuclear weapons, against targets in Ukraine that pose a threat to our country. And if necessary, against the supplier countries that become accomplices in a nuclear conflict with Russia.
"This is the symmetrical response to which the Russian Federation has the right.”
