The wild thing is that I have seen more than one so called expert claim that the US instigated the Ukrainian war and that we are planning to leave NATO and let the Europeans deal with OUR mess alone. They claim we did this so we can make money selling them arms. People just make shite up and spread it with no factual, supporting evidence now.


It was Biden. There is a lot of truth to all that. Plenty of supporting evidence out there for it.

I don’t disagree with any of that but as of this moment, your second assertion is a moot point.

Brits have a Navy?
Stfu

You sound retarded

They have a top-10 Navy

And if you ever ran ops with those guys, you'd know they fricking rule

Brits and Aussies are the best crews to hang out with. . .and they will drink you under your grave

ETA: also, since this board revels in it's lack of knowledge, the French also have a top-10 Navy

Their sailors fricking suck. . .but man do they love to start fights. Want to get into a bar fight? Go out with a group of French sailors

ETAA: We called the Brits "limeys" and the French "figs". . .the french always thought we were calling them "frogs", because they are figs

British Naval Yacht? She has at least 20 cannon on her port side.



The UK is slowly becoming a third world country.

I worked/drank a lot with a tech rep from England. He would go on about how they ruled the world. We had some outdated equipment that used Imperial measurements. Everything else was metric based.

Engineers from Nigeria and India would always thank him for the English language.

Britain's Navy is tougher than people think, but it is old as frick

You came to the conclusion that, because the UK and France didn’t support the US-Israeli attack on Iran, that they won’t respond to unwarranted Russian aggression in the English Channel?

It’s in the English Channel. This is Russia provocation. The response is necessary and justified

I’m just shocked they did anything.

British Navy is much more capable, albeit smaller, than the Russian Navy. The British and French Navies combined are definitely more capable than the Russian Navy.


French still have a solid navy. Brit’s not so much

People like to get after the French because they surrendered during WWII after being outflanked and encircled by the Germans. But their navy is first rate. Historically, the French are a pretty militaristic nation.
