The longest coastline on the planet is very well protected.

The longest coastline in the world is "protected" with just 1 destroyer (ONE), 12 frigates, 4 patrol submarines, 12 coastal defence vessels and 8 unarmed patrol/training vessels.

The Royal Navy has 76 submarines (including ones armed with nuclear warheads) and ships and 144 aircraft and an extra 13 in the RFA.


You wouldn't make it past PEI.

Oh, we would. In fact, there could be some RN submarines off that place right now and you don't even know it.

We've never been invaded

You've been invaded by the US - twice. Three times if you count the Fenian raids.

and have never lost a war.

That's because you're usually attached to the British military.

Your copy of a city class.

Type 23 predates City-class.

The Type 23 outguns the City-class and carries armed aircraft, unlike the City-class.

They are still the first line of defense in US battle groups

That's because they don't have any of their own carriers to protect, unlike the Type 23s which have been prowling the waters around British carriers and assult ships for the last 25 years and will continue to do so until 2036 when they are replaced by the Type 23 Global Combat Ship, a Type 23 on steroids.

Nah. I'd reckon they'd run away when 3,500 British Army Gurkhas, the most fearsome warriors on Earth, turn up on the scene, just like the Argies (who were terrified the Gurkhas were cannibals) did. These are the guys who, you may know, single-handedly stormed Japanese machine gun nests during WWII and beheaded the several Japs in them and who also beheaded Taliban with their kukri knives during the War in Afghanistan and then sometimes carried the heads back to base with them (probably to make soup with). So, to be honest with you, I don't think the Taliban-beheading Gurkhas would be too intimidated by the Canadian Rangers or any member of the Canadian public. They'll just behead the Canadian Rangers and eat them for their evening supper.

I'll enjoy such a thing. I love going for long walks in the countryside. I often go walking up Winter Hill and some other hills in the Pennines with my mate. And I've also been watching a lot of Ray Mears.

23 or 28 or fitty fi, City Class will still run circles around Brits. Just like every other engagment you'd never be able to invade Canada of defend yourself without the help of Canada.

In think you're living on Cloud Cuckoo Land, mate. You've completely taken leave of your senses.

Typical that foreigners make up the best part of the Brit army.

How many times have we been invaded, zero. How many time is the UK under thread, daily and scared civilians in other lands are now considered a national threat. Really?? Time to fold the hand you are holding.

When you are a British maggot living on the turd in the Atlantic punchbowl chances are beyond likely you are ingesting several forms of esters from intestinal fermentation.

Go to bed son, you're drunk!

Ah, the Nepalese Gurkhas. Yes, fearsome indeed. The Brits can't fight their own wars. You have to depend on others to hold your little hands. hahaha

And I'd take you on any day. A trek through the outback around here isn't your leisurely stroll through those lumps you call hills over there. And I'd bet you are about as stealthy as a porcupine in a balloon factory. I'd have you within a day. Not dead, mind you, just lost and bewildered. You'd love being bested by a girl, I promise.

That's what we've been trying to tell him.

Everyone is explaining to him how easily Canada would whip the Brits azzes and what picture does he through up....

Nepalese Ghurkas!

Oh he would not last a full day up there in the Great White North.

Anyways, this is about the pesky Russkies and their bombers, yet Blackrot hijacked the thread one more time.
I just had a thought about why BL does this. It looks like he hijacks threads and starts yammering on about the fantastic, incredible, unbelievably utopian Britland and its equally fantastic, incredible, unbelievably saintly and/or indomitable inhabitants because he's a lonely, little wart sitting in his mate's basement desperately trying to make himself feel halfways human by dissing everything that he wished he actually was.
Geez I wished I had said that. Now I am sad for the little guy.

No, I bloody didn't. Several other people did after I made my very first post, but I most certainly did not.

The Brits can't fight their own wars.

We've been doing that before America even existed.

You have to depend on others to hold your little hands. hahaha
If thousands of young Nepalese men thought it a great honour to fight in the American Army then the American Army would have ITS own Gurkha Regiments. But they don't. They see it as a great honour to fight in the British Army and we're more than happy to recruit them.

And I'd take you on any day. A trek through the outback around here isn't your leisurely stroll through those lumps you call hills over there.
No, I love going for long walks. I'm always going for walks on the Pennines or in the West Pennine Moors just outside of town. Walking where you are would be a doddle. I just prefer walking in Britain because we can for for nice treks up hills and mountains and then go to a local old pub in the evening for a pint and a spot of grub in front of a raging fire rather than having to rub two sticks together and chuck spears and squirrels or beavers to sustain ourselves. Such things belong in the hunter-gatherer times. Walking in Britain, like so many other things, is just so much more civilised.

As a proper male, I don't like being bested by anyone, especially a female.
