With any luck they won't have a choice. However IMHO it is a move for when Biden pulls the plug on NATO and is a 0.4% increase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerCat Posted April 23 Report Share Posted April 23 (edited) Probably need to in order to replace what's been given. The years of under funding and and asset stripping from all parties have hardly left the cupboards well stocked. Can't rely on nukes alone and regardless of all the technology it always will resort to boots on the ground. Especially when the tech is turned off.Β Edited April 23 by GingerCat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet11-87 Posted April 23 Report Share Posted April 23 Really dont worry about it. Its to increase to 2.5% by 2030. NATO has historically wanted all nations at a minimum of 2% We currently spend 2.2% and were spending 2.5% in 2009 and were spending 5.5% in the 1980s. The 500 mil aid package for Ukraine will mostly be spend on developing our infrastructure to supply the Ukrainians further down the line. its the global equivalent of saying youve got 10k to help your brother out who's struggling but you use it to buy yourself a new car to take him to work sometimes. stock of lockheed,Β BAE,Β rheinmetall,Β leonardo orΒ thales. all more than doubled since this kicked off. Β we still traded with russia to the value of 2.2 billion last year. and most EU nations a hell of allot more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12gauge82 Posted April 24 Report Share Posted April 24 To be honest, who's anyone going to fight for these days! We've got millions of people in the uk with no allegiance to the country, there's further millions of ultra woke who would probably campaign against any war, even if it was in self defence and would certainly never fight in one, they'd of course also be the first to scream blue murder of how it was allowed to happen as their loved ones were being raped and murdered by invading forces and that leaves the rest, who will likely look around and wonder what's left of the UK to defend, why should they die for a country full of people who won't fight themselves, or worse still, actively hate them and their way of life. All I can say is thank God we have a motivated military who can look past all that and still have the will to defend our country, despite the lack of manpower and equipment our idiotic leaders have given them.

Β And unfortunately allowing the Army to shrink to such a level that it is now a defence force, not big enough to be called an Army is not the way to maintain a deterrent.
