keeping up an appearance of britain being great is 100 percent the reason for trident ... which comes at the expense of a functional navy which actually made britain great.

UrbicaMortis posted:Does the uk still count as an imperial power? I'm pretty sure half of right wing politics in this country is caused by people being insecure we don't have an empire anymore. The UK still controls 6.800,000 square kilometers of Exclusive Economic Zone because of all the islands they stole in the world's oceans. That's over 8 times the exploitable sea territories that China has. The country with the most exploitable territories in the world is France.

Well, they can't afford an extra 5K for fire-retardant plastic siding, how are they going to pony up the several billion for a carrier group?

u gotta think long term because navies take a long time to build so you're planning decades in advance. the flip side is that if you neglect your navy then it rusts away and suddenly you wake up and you're screwed.

(Until 2019.) Which is nutty. But the carrier! (seriously though ballistic subs and carriers seem like they're stupid white whales for any great power that doesn't want to be quite as gung ho at invading everywhere as the US) Also has the Mail decided that the true culprit was the van and a hypothetical muslim mechanic yet? quote:Without naval supremacy, England is vulnerable once again to French invasion. Some tories were apparently unironically terrified about the potential for a french invasion going through the Chunnel back when it was being negotiated.

Tacky-rear end Rococco posted:Without naval supremacy, England is vulnerable once again to French invasion. if britain gets nuked then it's world war III anyways but the nuke boosters sell trident to blimps dreaming about the UK having an "independent" capability. the catch is that UK nukes are dependent on US tech (and surveillance/intelligence for nuke targeting) while also hoovering up money from the rest of the military so the UK is more dependent on the US, not less.
