How to destroy the United Kingdom from within in case of war
The fall of Singapore during World War Two gave me the idea of how to destroy a country from within. As we know, the artillery in Singapore was heading in the wrong direction and this was one of the factors that led to one of the worst military disasters in British history. A massive number of British troops and Commonwealth troops arrived in Singapore just in time to surrender to the Japanese.
For the kind of threat we are dealing with, Faslane, the Nuclear Deterrent, the Royal Navy, the Air Force and the Army plus all the added ingredients of the Security infra-structure of the United Kingdom will be pretty useless.
It will be an Ardennes Moment. Britain will be expecting something completely different and will be powerless to prevent a very well organised and long term planned attack to destroy British fighting capabilities. It is a bit like having a car wired to explode with the occupants of the car completely unaware of what is going to happen to them. What is the most deadly weapon of all? The Human Brain. Deadly force without brainpower is not as effective as it could be or it is absolutely inneffective. The Nuclear Deterrent could be compared to the Maginot Line. Vast amounts of resources spent in technological develoments that would be rendered completely useless by using much more affordable and much simpler and much more available means that will go undetected. Beware what you see and be much more afraid of what you cannot see. Let's leave this here as an introduction.
In the 1940s, far too many people believed that World War Two was going to be the same as World War One. Nowadays, far too many people believe that World War Two was absolutely different from World War One. In fact, it was somewhere in between the two sets of beliefs. Yes, there was a better of technology and especially new technology was developed before and during World War Two, but horses and bicycles were used to move around troops and cargo. Yes there were machine guns, but many still used a one-shot-at-time rifles or carabines. When we talk about World War Three, once again we will end up with 'something in between', but the battlefields will be much closer to home for everybody's discomfort.
As the offensive in Ukraine has shown is that despite technological advances, the methods used are still very much the same and every inch will have to be fought for and this will be true both on land, in the air, in the water and underwater and we can add that World War Three will also include Outer Space with satellites and missiles that will leave the Earth's atmosphere to re-enter the Earth's atmospher to hit their targets. And what about distances? What are the real distances today? 15 minutes for a nuclear missile to travel from Kaliningrad to London. We don't need pinpoint accuracy (American claim regarding missiles used in Iraq). If the aim is to cause the greatest, the biggest, amount of damage, pinpoint accuracy is irrelevant. It will be just about hitting a target as hard as possible in the shortest time possible for major effect.
But let us be clear that much of the damage will be caused internally with very ordinary methods and very ordinary tools. Very much like the viruses of War of the Worlds, there are very easy ways of paralyzing a country like Britain acting inside Britain.
