What does a moral British foreign policy look like? A moral foreign policy is not built on statements or placards; rather, it is Britain using its industrial and technological strength to help an ally resist and defeat an imperialist aggressor. Left-wing foreign policy thinking finds this difficult to grasp, to put it lightly. Some of those most vocal in demanding a more independent and ethical foreign policy are also sceptical of the capabilities required to sustain it. If America abandoned Ukraine, most foreign policy analysts agree that Europe could fill in some of the gaps, but not all, and not quickly.
