  4. "It includes £47bn on new nuclear submarines and £5bn more on drones, £1bn more than announced in last year’s strategic spending review."

    See what Russia's nuclear arsenal does for it? Imagine, you could spend £5 billion on drones and protect the nation while also funding infrastructure projects or you can pretend you're a superpower still and keep up the nuclear submarine illusion.

  9. A Russian warship firing at civilian craft in the English Channel and I get the feeling the Government only heard about it when the rest of us did.

    Is there no frigate tailing this Russian ship or something? Is it in the Strait of Hormuz instead?

  19. Honestly, how much money could be saved by cutting stuff we don't need from the Military Industrial Complex when thousands of drones and the pilots to fly them are what we need.
    Expensive American jets, tanks and APCs that don't really work but make shareholders rich, shit like that.

    We don't have to starve ourselves to defend ourselves, that's idiotic and right-wing (but that's Labour!)

    lol, in what way has that useless coward 'kept us safe?'

    By crawling up Trump's ass? Look where that got him
    By telling of Elon Musk on Twitter? Amazingly, the World's Richest Man has not calmed down...what now Keir?

  34. That fucking tank, which is more drone bait. And the personnel carrier which makes passengers ill somehow, and is also drone bait.

    We could defend our nation and not have to cut from other budgets by dropping some boondoggles that won't work in the real world.

  39. I remain unconvinced that these things are anything more but lumbering behemoths in the Drone War. They are what Battleships were to the WWII theatre, powerful but vulnerable and outdated by new developments, (ironically 'Aircraft Carriers')

    Thinking about how much of the Russian Navy Ukraine has taken out without any aircraft carriers or missile cruisers

    Also, they are fucking expensive.
