London: To beat the Russians, let's go on a leaky aircraft carrier

Great Britain leaves the European Union and is looking for its new place in the global world. After she lost the overseas colonies, it was said:

Britain has lost an empire but has not yet found its role






The United Kingdom could go one of two ways. First: to reduce the army and navy, abandon the construction of aircraft carriers, as a way of projecting forces in the world, close on the island, focusing on the defensive doctrine. The second path meant increasing military spending in order to maintain the status of a leading military power and helping the United States of America in its wars around the world as an ally. After 2016, when it became clear that the country was leaving the European Union, the search for a new doctrine was on the agenda.

Most popular among many British politicians acquired the concept of "Global Britain". The leadership of Foggy Albion, represented by Theresa May and Foreign Minister Boris Johnson, actively promoted the idea of ​​Great Britain as a global player in the world that can play a major role in international politics.

“Global Britain” demands a global external enemy, whose role Russia was elected. London is actively strengthening old alliances and forming new anti-Russian alliances. A new naval base was opened in Bahrain, and a port for the mooring of British aircraft carriers was rebuilt in Oman. United Kingdom troops participate in joint exercises with Australia, New Zealand, as well as Malaysia and Singapore. The Englishwoman Teresa May entered into a defense agreement against the Russian Federation with Poland. The British Air Force conducted joint exercises with the Japanese Self-Defense Forces.

Theresa May and Secretary of Defense Gavin Williamson, who advised Russia to shut up, jointly blocked a proposal to reduce the size of the army and navy of Great Britain. The idea was recognized as "absurd", and Williamson plans instead of reducing to achieve an increase in the military budget by 2 billion pounds. However, the militaristic policy of the United Kingdom rests on a lack of resources and a lack of understanding on the part of society.

After Iraq and Afghanistan, where the British army was in the wake of the United States, the public in the United Kingdom does not greatly welcome the participation of its own armed forces in external conflicts. The British Army is understaffed. To commission the new aircraft carrier Queen Elizabeth, the Ocean helicopter carrier had to be decommissioned ahead of time. “Elizabeth” almost immediately leaked and was sent for repair. Warships are not enough to accompany her in due order. English ships are forced to cruise along the coast of Somalia and the Falkland Islands away from their native island. To search for “Russian submarines,” Great Britain itself was forced to ask for help from France, Germany, the USA, Canada, and Norway, so that they would provide it with their own anti-submarine reconnaissance aircraft. The presence of British AUG in the Pacific Ocean or the Persian Gulf may stumble over the depreciation of the UK currency after Brexit.

Obviously, the time of the British Empire has passed, and the time of "Global Britain" has not yet arrived.

    Judging by the stormy activity, the Englishwoman will shit all her "friends" according to the ancient English tradition: shit everyone, set everyone up and quickly dump them. In general, I do not mind any of their kagala. They will certainly piss to attack Russia, but there will be a lot of screeching. Let insignificant verbiage be worn out, poisoned with their bile.
