@BluetownBorn @RishiSunak You could get an all inclusive week long ski holiday for £600 if you wanted. Pretty much anyone above the poverty line could go skiing every year.

Pushed my luck on the slopes this Easter showing off to my daughters.
Thankfully there’s no shortage of sport on TV this month!

Argentina's navy has fallen upon hard times (it got shrunk in 1996), and it has aging ships (1980s vintage). Milei has said he's going to turn things around but it's too soon to see an effect. Basically debt reduction is more important than naval expansion right now (which I agree with).
That said, they have 9 surface ships, the biggest of which are 3400 tons. Their entire submarine fleet is basically in dry dock. Their exocets are all expired. They have a miniscule naval air arm.
On the other hand, their only need for a navy is to take the Falklands, and the British are not in terrific shape themselves. It's clear that if the Argentines had the navy they had back in 1980, and the British had the relative size navy of today, the Argentines would win. Now both navies are in the doldrums. Britain is still ahead at this point so it would be whether or not Britain has the will to win. Or, I guess, Milei cares enough to make move, which it seems he does not.

The UK is going to lose the Falklands.

@andersonpaul017 @alphaonlombard @SandyofCthulhu No we won't because it's British and always has and will be. Sorry buddy.

@saw42283 @WarMonitor3 Shooting down planes attacking you is not an escalation lol
English
An A-10 Warthog down now? 🚨 Two combat aircraft lost in a single day near the Strait of Hormuz is a massive escalation, whether the official word is 'crash' or 'shot down.' The regional tension just hit a boiling point. Glad the pilot is safe, but this is getting critical. 📉✈️ #BreakingNews #StraitOfHormuz #A10Warthog #Aviation

Due to enter service in the early 2030s, the Dreadnought Class will be the most advanced ballistic missile submarines ever built for the UK.
They will future proof the UK’s nuclear deterrent, ensuring the nation’s security and that of our @NATO allies.

@ArmyRecognition Europe couldn't build a 5th gen Fighter. The best they could do was a 4.5 Typhoon. I doubt they have the capability, will or money to build a sixth gen fighter.

Canada could join the GCAP sixth-generation fighter program as an observer by July 2026

@ItsTaz1989 He hasn't even been PM for 2 years. You don't have to like Starmer to see this is Tories fault. They had 14 years...

It is actually a catastrophe how unprepared we are and how much we’ve allowed our armed forces to be run down. There has to be accountability, but there probably won’t be.

BREAKING: Britain has fewer than 50 Storm Shadow cruise missiles left. The stockpile that once exceeded 200 was drained over two years of transfers to Ukraine to help Kyiv strike Russian targets deep behind the front line. The missiles worked. They hit command posts and ammunition depots and naval headquarters across occupied Ukraine and Crimea. They helped Ukraine survive. And now Britain has almost none left for itself, during a war being launched from its own airfields against a country that just hit a British oil facility with drones. Brimstone anti-armour missiles sit at 25 to 35 percent of pre-war stocks. Paveway IV precision-guided bombs, the same weapon the RAF used over Libya and Syria, are at 30 to 40 percent. The National Audit Office estimates that Britain can sustain high-intensity combat operations for three to six weeks before requiring American resupply. Three to six weeks. The Iran war is already in its fifth week. If Britain were fighting it rather than hosting it, the cupboard would already be empty. The Army is 10,000 soldiers below target. Type 45 destroyers suffer chronic propulsion failures requiring six to twelve months of repair. The F-35 and Typhoon fleet operates at 60 to 70 percent availability. The industrial base that would replenish stocks runs on rare-earth magnets manufactured in China, the same China that controls 90 percent of the permanent magnets in every guided missile Britain would need to fire and is currently being asked to broker the peace. Any direct involvement beyond basing would require 8 to 15 billion pounds in emergency supplemental spending. National debt exceeds 100 percent of GDP. There is no majority in Parliament for funding a war the Prime Minister says is not Britain’s, fought with weapons Britain does not have, replenished by supply chains controlled by a country Britain needs to broker the ceasefire. This is why Starmer says “not our war.” Not because of principle. Not because of legality, although his own advisors have told him the strikes are legally questionable. Not because of Iraq, although the ghost of Blair hangs over every press conference. Because of arithmetic. Britain gave its missiles to Ukraine. It gave its bases to America. It gave its diplomatic capital to a 35-nation meeting about reopening Hormuz “after the fighting stops.” And it has nothing left to give except words, which cost nothing and accomplish less. Trump knows this. He mocked the Royal Navy in the Telegraph interview. He dismissed Starmer’s windmills. He called NATO a “paper tiger” because the paper is literal: Britain’s defence capability exists on paper. On the tarmac and in the magazines and in the recruitment offices, the numbers tell a different story. The story says that one of the six largest economies on earth, the country that once ruled a quarter of the planet, cannot sustain a shooting war for longer than six weeks without calling Washington for resupply. The bases are full. The aircraft are American. The missiles are gone. The debt is real. And the Prime Minister stands at the podium and says this is not our war while the war takes off from our runways carrying weapons we could not replace if we tried. Britain is not refusing to fight. Britain cannot fight. The doctrine is not a choice. It is an inventory report. And the inventory says zero. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

If Washington pulls out of NATO Russia will be emboldened to try operations into the Baltic states mark my words...

@yvesai0 In America, giving someone harsh but honest advice isn’t seen as hatred.

I’ve warned Europeans about this before, but if the US stops seeing Europe as a partner to help contain China, it will go looking for a different partner to support. Maybe a large country that borders China, with nukes and oil. The worst case for Europe isn’t merely a neutral US.

@FaytuksNetwork If anyone can do it it’s the US. The shit the US Military is capable of is incredible!!!

@its_tripott @KakarotGoku1204 @davidyero12 @khanmufc_ He got dispossessed on the edge of the final third, if the other team score from that it will be down to the defence 99% of the time. Defensive midfield is a crucial role and Mainoo is not physical or experienced enough currently despite his good technical ability.

@LOS_Fisher Trump needs to pull the trump card with the UK and demand repayment of US WW1 loan to the UK, which the UK defaulted on early in the Great Depression. With interest, the UK owes ~$600 billion today.

Alienating Europe over a war no one (except Israel) wants is foolish. Sad to see it.
