The Balance Of Power

But there is a replacement right? Do you think countries are thinking, quick, lets ambush Britian while they are weak lol. As for our allies, friends and foe will be decided on how much trade you can do. No pointing in investing in bombs to lie in a shed while countries around invest in their economy while ours goes down the swanny. The pen is mightier than the sword, ask India.

 

Ask India, the country that's investing hugely in defence to counter a growing China and at a nuclear stalemate with their Pakistani neighbours? LOL

Aye born, at the expensive of their economy they have done that they are even in the space race ffs something we could never afford.

We had a space program, we just gave it up and started working with others.. Also the MIRV system on our nuclear weapons is British made and built, even though the missiles that get them into space are American..

Which battles we choose to fight is something of a different discussion I suppose. Even if we chose to stay out of 99% I still feel we need a military at least as capable as we have today....

Well I agree but the way I see it having those pointless wars is partly responsible for wasting the budget which is why we are having to cut back.

 

The Russians and Chinese must have been rubbing their hands when we went in to Afghanistan and Iraq

Exactly mate.

Well of course bullets cost money. But they have both China and Pakistan to compete with.

 

Investing in space tech usually proves beneficial to a countries economy. NASA has had a hugely possitive effect on the US economy. It's also something the UK leads the world in.

I'm sure your right malt but the point is, India aren't skint like us. It's ok throwing money at defense when you can afford it but I don't care how many bombs we have, if we don't invest in the economy, we are f****d. If that means defense cut backs, so be it. No point in having a gun and you can't afford ammo.

So many experts world leaders only need to look on here and the worlds problems would be solved

Aye I guess we shouldn't be allowed to have an opinion or be allowed to discuss serious matters, let those in power get on with it eh? I'll lock the thread in a bit, tits and arse threads from now on please chaps..

I think the standard of living here is significanlty better than that in India. That's why they're not skint. There's a lot of things we need to change here to sort the economy out mate.

Have you seen how most of the population of India live mate? If they all had even a quarter of the quality of life as we do they wouldn't be able to afford a f***ing space program either.. It's shocking..

Aye for sure but that's more to do with corruption than wealth. Anyhow mate, I believe we should have a nuclear defense, a military defense but I'm not frightened of cutbacks. I'm sure the figure crunchers know what they are doing.

I'm not..

Wouldn't make much difference if you did mate..

I just see that we are at a very critical point in our capability. And I don't see the world as the safe place a lot of others seem to do. There IS going to be a shift in power, we've known that for a few years. That shift will comes with a lot of conflict. I don't want to see the UK caught soft muscled and unfit. I'd personally sacrifice a lot before defence.

I don't know why we are bothered anyway, once the zombies take over we are f****d any road

It's a balance mate, the wealthiest countries have the best defense. I see us going bankrupt more of a threat to our defense than if we strengthen it or not.
