THE RADICALISED RABBI is a blog on Judaism and its very useful ideas and the blogger a Secular Koranist and a revolutionary. You don't have to be Jewish to find Jewish ideas very useful in tidying up your thinking and turbo-charging your powers of reasoning to the extent that you can even predict most events and disasters. The West is heading for disaster with its insane policy of Transnational Progressivism, turning our global village into Sodom and Gomorrah attracting the same punishment.
The Torah and Koran are supposed to be the directly revealed Word of God.
Jews are supposed to believe that the Torah was handed to Moses on Mount Sinai witnessed by 2 or 3 million Jews watching below.
Christians and Muslims wishing to remain Christian or Muslim cannot deny the Torah as divine revelation because Christian scripture incorporates the Torah and Muslims say the Koran is better than the Torah because the former is the final revelation from God. This means that they accept that the Torah was a prior revelation to the Koran.
Don't you get it that God was supposed to have caused the Big Bang if you believe in the Abrahamic God?
52:00 Australia, Canada and New Zealand are British territories.
GROK:
Britain maintains its own nuclear deterrent through the Trident program, which consists of Vanguard-class submarines equipped with Trident II D5 missiles. These missiles carry British-designed and manufactured nuclear warheads, but the missiles themselves are leased from a common pool shared with the United States and maintained at facilities in the US.
The system is designed to ensure continuous at-sea deterrence, with at least one submarine always on patrol.
Operationally, the UK has full independence to launch its nuclear weapons. Only the British Prime Minister can authorize a launch, and there is no technical or legal requirement for US approval or involvement in the decision-making process.
The command chain is entirely under UK control, and the submarines operate autonomously once deployed. This means Britain could, in theory, initiate a nuclear strike unilaterally if the Prime Minister deems it necessary, without needing permission from the US or any other entity.However, this independence has limitations due to deep technical and logistical interdependence with the US:Technical reliance: The Trident missiles are American-made, and the UK depends on US support for missile maintenance, spare parts, software, and targeting systems (including GPS for navigation).
While the UK could launch existing missiles without immediate US input, sustained operations or replacements would be challenging without ongoing American cooperation. Some experts argue the US could indirectly disable the system by withholding support or denying access to critical technologies like GPS.
Political and strategic factors: The UK's nuclear forces are assigned to NATO, and any use would likely occur in coordination with allies, including the US.
It's considered highly unlikely that Britain would launch independently in practice, as doing so could strain alliances or lack strategic rationale without US backing.
Historical agreements, such as the 1958 Mutual Defence Agreement, facilitate close collaboration but do not grant the US veto power over launches.
In summary, while Britain can technically launch its nuclear missiles and start a nuclear conflict without US approval, the program's heavy reliance on American technology and the geopolitical context make true long-term independence debatable. Alternatives like developing a fully domestic system would be prohibitively expensive and time-consuming.

8:00 Why is there more than one kind of liberalism ie "Classical Liberalism" and the other kind you find so objectionable? Isn't "Classical Liberalism" just Conservatism? What are the principles of Conservatism? They are all uncodified which is why they are not fit for purpose.
8:05 Liberals value liberty. Eventually, it will lead to sexual liberation from marriage and good parenting. It was liberalism that let in feminism, which operates by bribing men with cheap extramarital sex causing widespread illegitimacy and widespread degeneracy.
8:15:00 Are you really so sure Europe was such a harmonious and peaceful place when it was overwhelmingly white and Christian?
8:30 Samuel Pepys was already complaining about foreigners way back in the Restoration.
8:45 Liberalism would inevitably lead to sexual liberation and the idea that we should be free to think of ourselves as members of the opposite sex if that is how we feel.
11:00 It's not so much about foreigners hating white men. White women hate white men.
12:30 You were always being invaded and settled eg the Roman and Norman Conquest. Ancient indigenous Britons are now mostly in Cornwall and Wales. The majority are Teutons ie Saxons who were Germanic tribes civilised by the Roman Empire. Being of the same racial stock did not stop the Saxons from killing each other in two World Wars, did it? The fact that George V and the Kaiser of Germany were first cousins did not stop their countries going to war. Nicholas II was refused asylum by his cousin George which ended in the extermination of the entire Royal Family. Let's face it: blood is not thicker than water as far as European royal families are concerned. Christianity whose purpose was to defend the divine right of kings failed in this function again and again and again.
Fortunately, there exists something much better to replace kaput Christo-Liberalism.
16:00 To be fair, Britain did declare war on Germany twice in WW1 and WW2.

28:00 The Reformation was an accident waiting to happen.
29:00 The founding of America was based on the idea of a proposition nation and a constitutional republic rejecting absolute monarchy. That was why the church had to be separated from the state.
30:00 I'm not anti-American. In fact, I talk almost exclusively to Americans these days.
32:00 There is also a hierarchy of religions and political ideologies.
33:00 The rest of the West can negotiate a better deal for themselves.
34:00 I'm thinking clearly. Neither Russia nor China are interested in taking over the West.
35:00 Christians talk about Original Sin, Jews talk about the Evil Inclination. Freud talked about the id, ego and superego.
40:00 The French Revolution promoted liberalism too, didn't it?
41:00 The social contract is a legal fiction.
42:00 Absolute monarchy is now extinct in the West. You want to bring it back?
43:00 The Koran supports capital and corporal punishment in principle where the interests of justice require it.
47:00 What is "Modern Conservatism"? Do you mean Cameronian Conservatism? It was David Cameron who pushed gay marriage up the sphincter of Britain, was it not?
47:30 Classical Liberalism cannot be fixed.
