The UK is still one of the wealthiest and, yes, best-armed countries on Earth. Few even have one aircraft carrier - China, which everyone sees as a world power, just got a refitted Ukrainian one. (Humorous coincidence there).
I guess that still isn't a big enough military for you.
You didn't NEED to go to the Falklands at all, it was a splendid little war for you though.
- junto 13y agoYou didn't NEED to go to the Falklands at all, it was a splendid little war for you though. Did I say I agreed with it? Um, no I didn't. Did I say I think we should have a huge military budget? No. I purposefully avoided stating my opinion. What I was said was that the UK it it's current state is unable to respond militarily in this conflict. David Cameron decided that Britain would be focusing on "unconventional threats". I.e. terrorism and not "big bad" Russia. I was simply drawing parallels between the Tory government in 1981 and the current Tory government in 2014.
