They were better men back then in the 20's and 40's.. not now.. just a bunch of Chickwahks like you.

Also, Britain were not the only ones who fought the Nazi's, Canadians had a big part too. I have family who died on the battle field and who also survived.

The OP spelled China wrong.
If there was going to be a war it would have already started. This is PR to distract people from the fact the West lost Syria and that means Iraq and Iran also. It appears having a nuclear bomb assures you won't be invaded. Go figure.

Come on, Curious Canadian. The Royal Credit Card isn't maxed out yet.

Well, we ARE paying for it. It's hardly anything novel. And the Defence Secretary rightly wants an increase in defence spending.

Technically, you've not paid for it yet. You just put it on the Royal Credit Card. The next generation will be paying for it plus interest.

It would seem to me that, given how North Korea is already teetering on the brink of economic collapse, that simply trading with North Korea on our terms would be enough to keep it in line. In any trade agreement between any country and North Korea, Korea would have the most to gain from an agreement and the most to lose from failing to reach such an agreement. This essentially means that North Korea pretty much needs to accept whatever agreement we present it with along with an ultimatum to take it or leave it.

The US isn't doing so well in terms of spare troops, I doubt SK is willing to lose 1M in a war that will never be one because China is the protector of NK, that is why the first war became a stalemate.

There'll likely be planes on it. It's pointless sending an aircraft carrier that isn't actually doing any aircraft carrying.

I guess the aircraft carrier could get the planes to South Korea, offload them there, and then come back for more.

I was talking about trade, not troops. North Korea desperately needs trade with us far more than we do with it. Why don't we exploit that weakness?

HMS Queen Elizabeth only cost £3 billion. You make it sound like it cost a lot.

So you can invade more countries and steal their wealth to support you bankrupt ghetto? You did that once and it didn't seem to work out all that well. The day of the big club being used to get your way is over. Double down on a losing strategy, the Rothschilds can use the hardware to assure Belgium doesn't fall to 'outside forces'.
You do know they hung you out to dry in both WW's right??

How many wars has it won so far?? Zip, and there are ship killers that do it with one shot so unless Haiti is the target you got squat to threaten anybody with. Screwing the citizens out of billions is the only win that has chalked up.

The British Empire actually turned out to be a great success. It'd certainly be nice to see it back.

The elite of NK don't suffer under sanctions, the poorest people in the country do, it's been that way for 100 years. The US killed 500,000 women and kids in Iraq and they thought it was a great big win. Totally morally bankrupt, the only ones that can't see it is the US and their closest cohorts like the UK, France, Germany, etc.

You sound like a compulsive shopper when you say that. Oh, it cost only 3 billion eh?

£3 billion is a drop in the ocean for an economy the size of Britain's. It's around 0.16% of the country's GDP, and just 8% or so of last year's entire defence spending.

Oh, that's it eh? A billion here and a billion there adds up quickly.

It would be possible next year for the Royal Navy to order another six such aircraft carriers for the cost of just half or so the UK's defence budget.

Hey, if North Korea can afford to spend a quarter of its GDP on defense, I'm sure the UK could do the same too. But being able to do it and being right in doing it are two different things.

As the US and the UK bankrupt themselves, Canada finds itself needing to find more reliable future trading partners for when the US and the UK just can't afford Canadian products anymore. What Blackleaf doesn't seem to understand is that the UK's bankrupting itself hurts not only the UK but all of its trading partners too.
