Look at Britain which used to have the largest and most powerful navy on the planet, which now is reduced to 2 aircraft carriers which apparently are both out of service, and don't have any British attack planes on them. They also have a few frigates and destroyers, but I heard they have a problem finding crews, as not enough men want to join the military ( having been in the military myself that doesn't surprise me ).

For once I agree with your analysis. However, I struggle to reconcile this post with your view that the war in Ukraine has nothing to do with Russian expansionism. If that's the case, why would Europe need to spend money on a deterrent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putin regards the dissolution of that empire as one of the great tragedies of history.

beautifulthailand99 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Simon Jenkins absolutely nailing it here. Western Europe has no conceivable interest in escalating the Ukraine war through a long-range missile exchange. While it should sustain its logistical support for Ukrainian forces, it has no strategic interest in Kyiv’s desire to drive Russia out of the majority Russian-speaking areas of Crimea or Donbas. It has every interest in assiduously seeking an early settlement and starting the rebuilding of Ukraine. As for the west’s “soft power” sanctions on Russia, they have failed miserably, disrupting the global trading economy in the process. Sanctions may be beloved of western diplomats and thinktanks. They may even hurt someone – not least Britain’s energy users – but they have not devastated the Russian economy or changed Putin’s mind. This year Russia’s growth rate is expected to exceed Britain’s. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/mar/05/nato-ukraine-russia-germany-military-leak 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets be clear, MAD still exists and as long as it does, only a madman is going to invade Europe or Russia. MAD still exists, but will it apply to Europe and east Asia if Trump becomes President? What would Trump do if his buddy Putin decided to take the Baltic States and capture a land corridor to Kalingrad, taking a generous amount of Poland in the process? I seriously doubt that he'd use nuclear weapons. I also doubt that he would commit much in the way of US conventional forces to the fight. European leaders, along with those of South Korea, Japan, Taiwan and other countries also have their doubts. If Trump is elected I assume a lot of US allies will start looking into acquiring nuclear weapons. Of course in Asia this might trigger a preemptive strike from China and/or North Korea, which Trump will not respond to militarily. Trump will make the world a far more dangerous place. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
