Abstract
Refutes several claims made by Niall Ferguson. Empire is not good, due to the imperial preference trade system and balance of power policy which led to war after war. Yet Britain is great because of several ideas and ideals of international governance, diffused through the colonies and dominions and then taken up by various international organizations. Contra Ferguson, China not "the arsenal of autocracy": advocates a policy of military deterrence and economic engagement with regard to China. Putin's smasj and grab invasion flailing and failing: China does not back a loser. Clear deterrent signalling key to reigning in potential Beijing misadventures.Ferguson's errors likely due to lack of knowledge of international law and/or military experience. International law enforced at gunpoint. War will neither "drag on" nor expand. Putin's criminal regime likeliest to collapse in popular rebellion as a result of constant casualties from foolish war. Best course of action: Arm Ukraine.
