- C1sc0cat 6y agoEspecially as we are so degraded that we could probably not even make basic things like small arms Pistol / Rifle. Given that USA as an ally isn't looking as solid as she used to be and post Brexit will German arms manufacturers be happy to sell to us - better make sure we don't piss of Canada then.
