http://www.rusi.org/defencepolicy On 13 Sept 2010, the Daily Telegraph reported how US defense officials expressed worries to cuts to the UK defence budget. RUSI's Michael Clarke assesses how this will impact on the US-UK relationship.
As a maritime nation, Britain needs to maintain a strong Navy and Naval air arm, but in these harsh economic times I don't think its fair to spend up big on the general military at the expense the British people - who are doing it pretty tough at the moment...
The corrupt Pentagon only cares about defense contractors, it exists entirely to enrich the military industrial complex.
The Americans should learn to audit their bloated, incompetent defense budget (trillions dollars of waste 25% of budget unaccounted for) before commenting on ours.
With you exactly. Thanks for the mail. Cameron was onboard HMS Ark Royal recently, saying how much he was going to invest in the senior service. I was incredulous when he recognised the great history and name of the most storied navy in the world - a fact, nothing to be ashamed of, quite the opposite, in fact - and that he promised so much. Imagine how the crew flet there on the deck! And the astonishing double-crossing: exactly the same ship to be torn to pieces. Mutiny now!
he's honest so he'll never be in power. we only have liars and back stabbing pricks in power. i actually feel bad about mocking gordon brown, he actually did a better job than david cameron. i thought cameron was going to make a change but he just lied about everything and doing the opposite of what he promised us
The Brithish should be thankful if their military is cut enough to no longer join in on the US's dumbass wars and misadventures.
