Will the Defence Secretary RESIGN if there are CUTS in Defence Spending ? - Ukraine - Russian War - Liz Truss Era

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 4.16pm post the following, " 

Defence Secretary Ben Wallace could resign if Jeremy Hunt scraps defence spending boost...

The UK's new chancellor has raised the possibility of ditching a key pledge by Liz Truss to boost defence spending - a move that would likely be a resigning matter for her defence secretary, Ben Wallace.  "

Lets Get Real:

The NEW Treasury Team have to understand that the MONEY MARKETS are important, but also preventing WORLD WAR 3, Liz Truss has promised increasing defence spending up to 3% by 2030.  The Russians are looking, the UK cannot look even more WEAK, the UK Government looks like a banana Republic, four PMs in a few years, and four Chancellors in 1 YEAR.  Whatever has to be cut, it cannot be DEFENCE spending, the Defence Secretary should hold the line, let's recall that Ben Wallace was a leading candidate to succeed PM Johnson, he must wish he had run now.   The Conservative right has to come out in support of defence spending, it's  too important to cut, a weak Government will give the wrong impression to the Kremlin, it could lead to a nuclear attack in the Ukraine and then World War 3.

US Defence Secretary on OUTCOME of the Russian - Ukraine War - New Cold War 2

BBC News: Reports on remarks by the US Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin as to what the US wants from the end of the Russian - Ukraine War after a visit with the President of Ukraine in Kyiv, " "We want to see Russia weakened to the degree that it can't do the kinds of things that it has done in invading Ukraine," the US military chief said.  "

Lets Get Real:

The above remarks will be  used by Moscow, its will feed in to their message to the Russian people that the US and NATO are the enemy and that the US is backing Ukraine to the HILT.  The US wants to stop Putin from invading any other Country, such as the Baltic States and Poland.  The question is how far will Putin go to WIN.  There has been talk that he will use WMD, such as chemical weapons or low grade tactical nuclear weapons, US intelligence gives a 1% chance of that happening, but what if the WAR in the Ukraine goes on for ages, months and even years, how much long will Putin wait before he loses his judgement, one can postulated that he has already lost his sanity by going in to the Ukraine, there will be no more photo op with President Biden or other high ranking US or UK officials, no wants to find that they are accused of shaking hands with another Hitler.  The US is tied to Ukraine, it was thought that US was tied to Afghanistan, but with Biden as President you never know the outcome. 

Donald Rumsfeld is Dead - Ford Era and Bush 43 Era

 The New York Times: Reports " Donald Rumsfeld, Defense Secretary Under 2 Presidents, Is Dead at 88...Mr. Rumsfeld, who served under Gerald Ford and George W. Bush, was in charge of the invasion of Iraq and later said that the removal of Saddam Hussein had “created a more stable and secure world.” "

Lets Get Real:

Donald Rumsfeld was a great American, he served as Chief of Staff to President Ford when he came in to OFFICE after the scandal that was Watergate, they kept the ship of State afloat, after that post Ford moved him to be Secretary of State, a hard job after Vietnam.  After Ford, Rumsfeld help the Reagan Administration when it came to Iraq, at the time Iraq was at war with Iran, the Reagan Administration wanted neither side to WIN.  Then after 9/11 Rumsfeld had to get the US in to WAR in Afghanistan and be ready for Iraq.  No one expected the War in Afghanistan to last 20 years, and recently President Biden has ordered the removal of ALL US troops from Afghanistan, one does wonder what the former Secretary of Defence thought of that.  There are still troops in Iraq, one has to wonder how long Biden will keep the US in Iraq, as stated by this blog, Biden has not been right about foreign policy for over 40 years why change a habit of a lifetime.  This blog salutes the late Secretary of State.
