UK needs German help to win the war


Sounds like it's largely due to supplying and training Ukraine.
Germany has tried to avoid helping.
The breaking up of the UK can’t come quick enough. I’m embarrassed that the scotch, welsh and NI have to put up with us, and I know they’re pretty pissed off. Next positive step after that would be an independent northern England.
The Welsh and Scotch got plans for massive armies?
Not seen that before, how will they afford that? England already disproportionately pays towards defence.

It's spending and size, not quality. Solider to soldier you won't get a much better infantry in the world. If at all.
I agree that the Army is one of the best fighting forces in the world. However, the Infantry has been cut back so badly it's hardly effective anymore (by its equipement, not skills). Warrior is being scrapped and Ajax and Boxer are not IFV's. We are upgrading a pitiful amount of Challenger to Challenger 3.
Our EW capabilities which used to be world beating in the 90's have been cut back so badly, we are now lagging behind adversary states. The GBAD capability over the same period has been slashed to about a 1/4 of it size and this doesn't even begin to adress whats happened tonthe RAF and Navy.

They wouldn’t need armies
 
I remember that 1980s election poster with a man with his hands up surrendering, with a slogan reading something like 'Labour's Defence Policy'. Fast forward to now and it looks ridiculous.
 
Britain have never really had a particularly big army until we co-opted various Indian ones.

It makes absolutely no sense to have one now when the country can't even meet its most basic priorities of looking after itself domestically. Can't pay nurses a fair wage but we should be increasing our military resources, reeto

Every time they are in power they reduce spending on defence.



Why do the right hate the armed forces?

Wales and Scotland all contributed disproportionately to British armed forces for as long as Britain has existed.

NI can't survive without the English taxpayer lol.

Yep.
So they're angry about numbers being diminished, and to vent their anger will leave the UK and abolish their armed forces?

Sounds like the raving of a lunatic
 
No ones going to attack us man :lol: We’re a nuclear power with a submarine launched arsenal of 200 missiles. All many many many many times more powerful then the two that have ever been launched. By most scientific estimates it’s enough to bring about a nuclear winter decimating most of the Global population.

Just like every other nuclear power we effectively have impunity.

The cutbacks may well stop us projecting hard power overseas (some would say after our Middle East adventures that might be a good thing)

No one is going to try and invade us. We may end up getting nuked from a far off extremist regime who fancy bringing about doomsday but thousands of tanks, APCs and artillery are not going to do any good then anyway.
