The US has around 2 million people in prison who are forced to work for basically nothing. So what's the difference here?

Also the British have an island in the South Atlantic called Ascension island, which is just a military base.

No Chinese strategic is very similar to US strategy after the civil war and leading up to WW1. Push the foreign powers our of North America and the Caribbean, then move into the western pacific. In military terms the Chinese position is similar to that of Germany in WW1. Where the British had...

How about Bermuda for the Chinese? That would be a good place wouldn't it? Literally the only island in the western Atlantic and its controlled by some tiny island off the coast of Europe. Perfect place for the Chinese to ally with and get basing rights. Sick of the American Empire the Evil Empire.

I am not sure they train with guns anymore? I see them flying over my house doing the figure 8 thing, lovely to watch when I am on a walk. I just had to post this.

The main problem is Britain is a dominion of the US, we have a support navy for the Americans. However nobody accepts or talks about this in Britain, they just say we are a global power. Britain is actually a regional European power and we would need a very different navy to the one we have now...

Yeah they bring it up in documents all the time. Then never implement protectionist policies to force companies to build ships in the US or UK, so they build them in East Asia, basically ship building has moved from Britain/America/Germany to Korea/Japan/China. Something not taken into account...

The Defence Committee publishes its report “We’re going to need a bigger Navy” following the Committee’s inquiry into The Navy: purpose and procurement. The report finds that the next decade is one of significant risk for the Royal Navy's fleet, and one in which the UK and the Navy will face an...

Wow, love the light blue looking colour of them.

Also J-20 is a beautiful aircraft.

Not possible for China to our produce US by 2025, a few more years and sure. Would like to see the Americans fighting a land war in the Russian sphere and a naval war in the Chinese sphere, best thing for Britain.

Britain is actually in a similar position to Turkey, as a regional European power confronting the NATO/EU and the ganging up of Europe to support a weakening power in Ireland to taking British territory in Northern Ireland and denying our people rights. Britain is actually a naval power and...

The attempts aren't to remove Turkey from Cyprus, but to economically stop Turkey from using Cyprus. So Turkey holds the north, Greece the South. By denying Turkish sovereignty they can deny Turkish rights. That's all it is. Which is why Turkey needs to focus on other area's...

So you think Turkey could go to war with Russia in the South Caucasus, Syria in the South, Greek in the Aegean at the same time? As you know there is a difference between a UDR (Ulster Defence Regiment) and the regular British army. The UDR were like Gendarmerie and could control internal...

Looking at the level of competition in the Eastern Mediterranean at the moment and the South China sea, these appear to be the two major conflict zones moving forward. With the Americans/French/Russians/Italians all getting involved as well. Its going to get spicy. Turkey is by far the...

I was friends with the George Allison guy on Facebook, before he was famous. Like 10 years ago.

Yeah I think so. The Wildcat and Merlin are good helicopters. I see Apache's and Chinooks flying over my house all the time. I still think how easy it would be to hide in a under-ground base or wooded area and shoot them down. The fast jets are cool, the Hawks and Typhoons, not seen any F-35's...

The British seem to make good helicopters, from what I can see. Though not many deserts in Britain, like in the USA.

What they deem as the cathedral, I call the criminal class. The US is run by the criminal class which exploits and abuses the English hegemony (the west) for its own end, the greater power of the criminal class. The Jews controlled the money in England in the 13th century, Edward I kicked them...

I agree with the overall statement about the importance of logistics.
