The US wants obedience and we have done too many things to assert out independence.
Looks like we will go for Su57 and more S400, while we are not considering F35, that will anger the US establishment further.
So they wag the good old dog Porkies, so let them.
I too don't believe our establishment wants to finish off Porkies militarily. We feel it's best to grow stronger and keep an eye on the east.
People moaning about the US is silly. Let's cool relations with both US and China. Get what we can from both and continue to strengthen ourselves.
The biggest danger is internal. Both jehadis and the opposition.
