Why does this mean Japan and South Korea will get SSN's? I am opposed to this agreement as a British person, I want less to do with the Americans.

Its very simple, the Chinese have the best navy for their requirements, second the Japanese, third the Americans. In terms of China fighting the Americans in where a war could happen the Chinese have the best navy, then Japan, then USA. The USA is partly pulling back from Afro-Eu-Asia because it...

Japan has the second best navy in the world, Japan is quickly becoming the major power in East Asia. With a falling demographic and stagnant economy, there is no threat of them invading anyone either. So they can look for allies in the region as well. China on the other hand has not allies...

I guess you are correct, apart from Waterloo and John Churchill's victories in the war of the Spanish succession.

The British were in no shape to fight Japan and Japan knew this, which is why they attacked. Neither were the Americans. If you are going to war with the European powers in Asia, it was always going to draw in the Americans. So Japan has no choice but to strike first. If the British navy has...

Yep all fair points. Indeed, total failure in South east Asia against the Japanese.

Not really, the most of the British army was in Europe. And once the British got a hang of Jungle warfare they defeated the Japanese, with Bill Slim. What Asia shows me is that the British are very good at adapting. By the end of the war the British/Australia/New Zealanders were as good as...

The French also have caledonia which is right next to Australia. The French are only a problem because the British don't have an integrated air defence network, control over Ireland and the waters around Britain. The French have a lot of influence, but not as much power over military and...

So we are thinking, we have a tiny fleet and we need to do things which make up for our tiny fleet.

People talk about CANZUK within Anglo-online culture. However I don't think any of them have thought about or understand military and logistical requirements for the structure or union to be possible. The combined CANZUK spend 85.2 billion a year on defence. This is about a third of what they...

They certainly were at that point. Getting double teamed from the Germans and Russians.

At that point Chamberlain knew Britain was in the process of rearmament, so he knew we couldn't win a war against Germany. He was delaying it as much as possible to give us time to rearm. The mistake Chamberlain made was not allying with Russia against Germany. He rather made the mistake of...

There are a number of theories about Churchill. One is his American mother, his fathers treatment of him. I think its a mix of both. There is also the idea that he way paid by Jewish interesting from some bank in the US as well. My own view is that he was just part of the English aristocracy...

It did, then the 'strategic genius' Churchill decided to put 200,000 British troops on a beach overlooked by high cliffs and leave them their. Nobody did more to defeat the British Empire, than Churchill. In both WW. I love the Egypt campaign in Napoleon total war.

Yes, but when the British army did fight in Europe it would just as good as any European army, that's my point. The US army and Japanese army have been less capable than the European armies. Whereas the British army was better than most and as good as any other, just smaller.

The Americans are fighting to maintain the global system they created, that's way Britain fought in WW1 as well. I don't think Britain and Japan are like twins, as the British are a much more open/trade bases society, whereas Japan is much more internal and bigoted. I like Japan, so I am not...

The British army is a projectile, to be fired by the British navy.

I am interested in the fact that the British army has successfully defeated the French in the War of the Spanish succession, defeated Napoleon and comparatively fared well against the Germans in WW1 and WW2. Whereas the American army hasn't done as well against other nations armies. It seems to...

I do believe China is heading for stagnation. However China isn't a threat to China, it doesn't have the navy to threaten Australia. Japan is more of a threat if you look at the navy capabilities they have.

I totally agree with this. Which is why I would want to integrate with Ireland and set up what I call the Irish crescent. Which would be an economic grouping which will manufacture for Britain basically. From Derry in the North all the way along the Irish east coast to Cork. Bringing in Belfast...
