00:00When war has returned to Europe, leaving the most successful military alliance in history
00:07would be catastrophic. Even to contemplate it is a sign of deep unseriousness in gravely serious
00:17times. But that's where this corrosive, inward-looking attitude leads. It offers grievance
00:26rather than hope, a declinist vision of a lesser Britain, not a great Britain.

00:44by a chaotic world. A world which is more dangerous and unstable than at any point for
