@TBrit90 What the fuck could ten billion even look like at this point? Get rid of trident? The entire RAF? Just nonsensical.

@FennellJW @MtarfaL In what universe was there an order 6500 mraps? I know your constantly optimistic but come on..
English
@MtarfaL I suspect the giant LMP order for 6,500 MRAPS will become a smaller order for Patria 6x6 CAVs with the numbers made up with cheaper softskin vehicles (Toyotas). Etc.

Picking apart the story the logic is the DIP plan submitted by MoD is £28bn underfunded. The government may stump up £18bn but savings of £10bn will be found by pushing some projects to the right. Type 83 is topical due to the current crisis.

I worry more about UK energy security, resilience, and social cohesion than I do Russia or Iran. Sectarian politics, uncontrolled immigration, crime, net zero and a poor economy are this nations most significant threats

@WouterW_Vreug @AdamKinzinger Yeah no one wants to be dragged into yet another war started by America, are you not fucking tired of all the shit you start? You Fucking retards had the world in your hands but it's never enough.
English
@AdamKinzinger It’s the same tired, foot‑dragging diplomatic chorus whining, ‘We’re pissed and worried.’ No ships, no troops, just enough posturing to keep oil prices from blowing up, and a synchronized finger‑wagging routine to look tough without risking a thing. They say yes, then do nothing.

@puffyslippers @mildunhigedguy @cd_hooks @grok I've got tickets booked with them in September will be interesting to see if they honour them
English
@mildunhigedguy @cd_hooks @grok Air Canada already pulled a fast one on us. Tickets booked a week ago. Seats chosen, reservation number, showed up in app, etc. But payment marked "pending". About 10 minutes later, AirC cancelled. Had to rebook tickets, chose same flight and seat, $400 per ticket more.
English
Sincere question: if jet fuel prices triple is there a chance airlines rescind tickets already sold for later in the year at a cheap price?
English
@thinkdefence Ok maybe I'll vote reform now. Anythings got to be better.

@larisamlbrown Just scrap the defence budget and we can save even pretending to defend ourselves

@BelfastAccount2 @j3lqingt0n @Geopolymeric If that's in range of whatevers trying to kill it that's a big problem 40 120s or not

@j3lqingt0n @Geopolymeric Imagine like 40 AIM-120s spilling out of that thing

After seeing the 35 year old B-2s having their way with Iranian airspace, this thing is clearly a Red October tier 1st strike system and it's honestly a little insane that we want to build 200 of them.

@NavyLookout @Strava Sorry but why is anyone allowed personal communication while deployed?? Phones, smart watches etc should be confiscated the second you're on shift.

@mexicola25 @DisIdealist @509298 No you said F-35s were deployed in 2024 as part of operations against the houthis which they were not, so I can read nor ignorant or stupid. Now pick which one of those you are...
English
@Inventingfanneh @DisIdealist @509298 Offensive operations are different, I said why we are there is for patrol and defensive purpose in my first tweet. So either you can't read, are stupid or are ignorant, pick. x.com/Inventingfanne…
Buds nowiser@Inventingfanneh
@mexicola25 @DisIdealist @509298 They're based there because of this war. Only typhoons were used against the houthis. You do not know what you're talking about.

The open and frank conversation needed is inside the UK. Why do we have these huge, expensive military bases in Cyprus? Why is the UK in the eastern med? It’s not 1925. We’re not an empire any more. We’ve no need to guard Suez. Why are we spending money to be there at all?

Interesting in uk you choose to do nothing about this maybe you guys are cvck who love to watch from sideline and enjoy secretively

English
@Inventingfanneh @DisIdealist @509298 The F-35's that were moved there in 2024, are only there because of this war...
Yes, you are the smart one here...
F-35 main use is for defensive patrol and air intercept, and our primary purpose and why we are in the region is a defensive purpose.

@mig25kfoxbat @JN07435970 @livefist Just confirming you're disgusting. I will enjoy China and Pakistan destroying your country.

English
@Inventingfanneh @DisIdealist @509298 As we use the F-35 for defensive and air intercept, which is why they are based there, like I said...
English
@mexicola25 @DisIdealist @509298 Yeah sure mate committing the vast majority of the available active fleet for a little tour that achieved nothing but wore out what few ships we had was an excellent use of resources.
English
@Inventingfanneh @DisIdealist @509298 Considering my friend was on the Prince of Wales and made the trip, and was part of a multi NATO country operation, the levels of ignorant crap you are talking is off the chart.
English
@mexicola25 @DisIdealist @509298 The F-35s have had no involvement with action against the houthis only typhoon and even that was ridiculously limited. As I said our involvement and influence is limited, but I wish it wasn't for what it's worth
English
@Inventingfanneh @DisIdealist @509298 What? One of biggest responsibilities in the region is the patrol of the shipping lane, which is why our F-35's have been based there almost constantly since 2024 due to the Houthis.
English
@mexicola25 @DisIdealist @509298 The CSG was just a waste of time money and equipment that offered nothing of any real utility.
English
@Inventingfanneh @DisIdealist @509298 Why the HMS Prince of Wales Carrier Strike Group, did an Indo-Pacific deployment the entirety of last year.
English
@mexicola25 @DisIdealist @509298 I don't agree with the op about giving up the bases but that's just nonsense, our presence and influence there these days is negligible.
English
@DisIdealist @509298 Other countries exist, and if not for our presence in the region, a number of countries would be wiped off the map, one of the most important global shipping lanes would become a hive of piracy and destruction,
