Strength of British military falls for ninth year

[Bleipriester]

European armies on the decline. Dwindling state and security. Core responsibility of the state: Ensure the rich get richer.

As far as I know the US has pushed the UK into various armed conflicts. Not that it wasn´t the UK´s own fault - after all they gave up on their sovereignty.

Totally ass-backwards assessment.
The Brits can't afford a large standing army because socialism eats up all of the money. Right now they're paying for millions of migrants that are living off of the rest of the country's taxes.

The US debt clock shows they can´t afford a military as well.

Really, you think the military is causing the debt clock to spin. Why do idiots always blame military spending for the debt when entitlement spending is nearly 4 times military spending?

Both of you are right.


WE can't afford ANYTHING, because our financial situation is a death spiral. But is not the fault of a reasonable sized military, but unsustainable entitlement growth.

The huge entitlement payments of your government are necessary due to the financial holes of pure capitalism. If you had have a solid health system like we do, you could even expect a surplus.

Last time I checked we got millions of refugees and even terrorist attacks.

Except that similar out of control growth of entitlements is, as far as I know, universal among FIrst World Nations.


So, with all due respect, unless you can show me that I am wrong on that fact, your point about capitalism, is not only refuted,


but ....


Well, let's leave it with refuted.

We have a different system here. Health insurance is an obligation and people cannot be rejected. We have less comedones between the production of a medicine and its receiver.

I guess your gov has the pretension to be superior to all others combined. In fact, however, it is impossible for the military to invade Venezuela.

Militarily? I'm for it.

Why would we? If necessary, we can raze it from the air.

 

[Bleipriester]

Granted. But it isn´t realistic and the effort doesn´t justify the costs. Actually, the costs could lead to a collapse similar to the one of the SU.

Bolton, Pompeo, Trump, they all dream of the invasion. Because bombing Venezuela would not earn them a drop of oil or allow them to exercise control over it.
