Re: Defence Spending To Go Up ?

I think that a European country was invaded by Russia and everyone whistled and did nothing

NATO is like a tiger with no teeth

Logic has just passed you by.

There's a nasty man in Russia

We have all these weapons to scare him off

But there are conditions

Which render these weapons absolutely useless and impotent in reality

The point being that countries that do not or cannot join nato are only helped , if at all , by the back door

It's nonsense and just an arm of America

Your 'point' keeps morphing so I'll give up.

Re: Defence Spending To Go Up ?

in real terms i.e. adjusted for inflation, defence spending is about half what it was in 2007. We have more civil servants in the MoD than sailors in the RN

My point is the true line

Wether we arm Ukraine by the back door or directly Russia has according to the west acted like a bully in americas back yard

And got away with it

What's the point of nato if its only going to defend its own members

It may as well not be there

No, these scary weapons have probably saved us from a 3rd world war.

But they will not prevent more localised conflicts.
