So much of our intelligence and military systems are shared or reliant on the US – if it becomes the enemy, it is already inside the gates, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot
The best way to defend a country from the US is to not engage them in traditional warfare but use guerilla tactics until they give in and go home. They’ve lost multiple wars this way.
To say nothing of the wider hypothetical conflict, wouldn’t the US bases themselves be trivial to overrun by UK land forces?
They’re air bases and not fortified from attack by the host country. If anything the easy opportunity to disable their aircraft while getting our hands on any undamaged kit could present a minor tactical advantage.
For this reason they’d surely vacate before turning nasty.

Doesn’t really follow…
