  1. On shifting the centre of gravity of NATO east, pending membership for us in Ukraine (if ever), I think the centre might already be starting to shift towards Poland, they've got a huge military and building it up. When you mentioned the UK's weakened military,, interestingly, if you separate out the nuclear forces spending of the UK, the GDP spent on the UK's conventional forces is only 1.6% of GDP, which is considerably less than some other NATO countries spending on military that don't have nukes and spend all of their cut of GDP on conventional forces. Estonia's up to 4% for instance. No wonder the UK's conventional forces are not doing so good with a realistic 1.6% GDP figure spent on them.
