There is no way anyone can convince me that this exemplifies the standards set by Guards Regiments. This is literally taking “the Mick”

Moving the US military out of west European bases will be costly, slow and complicated. These bases are large and sophisticated. Wherever we move to has to be equally sophisticated and secure. A good place to start is moving from Spain to Morocco, where the US used to have a SAC base. Morocco has several modern facilities, including our former bases. Morocco is already a designated non-NATO major ally (so is Bahrain), is a member of the Abraham Accords, and is pro-western. They’re also a tolerant and beautiful country. The US has options. If Spain, France and Italy won’t help us, we can find better places to go.

BREAKING: The UK says its military has exposed a month-long, covert Russian submarine operation in the Atlantic, north of the UK. One attack submarine is thought to have been used as a decoy as a number of “undersea naval units” from the Main Directorate of Deep Sea Research (known as GUGI)! conducted “nefarious activity over critical undersea infrastructure”

Trump has just lost a war to Iran. I would liken it to the Suez débâcle except that, at Suez, Britain successfully swept Egyptian resistance aside. We were defeated by Eisenhower’s hostility, not Nasser’s tanks. This time, the US just flat out lost - and the world is vastly worse off for it.

The Royal Navy is no longer fit for service in NATO. In August 2022, HMS Prince of Wales sailed out of Portsmouth to cross the Atlantic for joint exercises with the US Navy. She was the pride of the modern Royal Navy. A four-billion-pound aircraft carrier. The flagship of Global Britain. She made it about 20 miles. Then the propeller shaft coupling sheared & one of only two carriers in the entire British fleet limped back to port and spent the better part of a year in dry dock while American carriers did the work Britain had promised to do. That’s the Royal Navy in 2026. It’s a museum with a TickTock account. I’ve called the Canadian Navy a glorified Coast Guard but the UK can’t even keep migrant boats off its shores. Nelson had over 100 ships of the line at Trafalgar. The fleet that fought WW2 had over 900 warships. Horatio Nelson John Fisher Andrew Cunningham David Beatty Bertram Ramsay Edward Hawke George Rodney Richard Howe John Jellico And First Lord of the Admiralty Winston Churchill are all spinning in their graves. If they were resurrected today they would each give British PMs the lash. Today the Royal Navy has roughly 70 commissioned vessels. Maybe 15 of them are meaningful surface combatants. It sounds marginally ok but any given day, a significant percentage are in dry dock, undermanned, or waiting for spare parts. And China launches more tonnage in a quarter than the Royal Navy possesses in total. You do not rule the waves. You do not rule the Channel. You rule a Wikipedia. And it gets worse. You don’t even rule the world’s imagination anymore. Master and Commander came out a quarter century ago and nobody’s planning a sequel. Scooby Doo got a sequel, Jack Aubrey does not. It’s sad. It’s pathetic. But even more sad is the fact you don’t stand up and demand one. Neither does the former Navy commanding officer you call King. You have decided to roll over instead. All six Type 45 destroyers, the backbone of Britain’s air defense fleet, had to be pulled back for emergency refits because their engines lose power in warm water. Read that again. They were practically useless in the Red Sea because they don’t have enough missiles and you didn’t buy the anti-air computers for their deck guns. Your last few nuclear submarine launches went plop and instead of trying again or calling the American missile manufacturer to court… you shrugged. This is the nuclear deterrent that is supposed to be the foundation of British sovereignty, the reason Britain sits at the UN Security Council, the last credible claim to great power status. It fell in the water next to the boat. Your ancestors circumnavigated the globe in wooden ships powered by rope and canvas. You built a billion-pound destroyer that overheats off Bahrain. Your frigates are too few to cover your own approaches. When Russian submarines transit the English Channel, the French Navy often shadows them because the Royal Navy cannot respond in time. The French. In your Channel. Protecting you. Nelson ain’t spinning in his tomb. He’s in the Atlantic laughing at you. Americans patrol the Gulf you depend on for energy. Americans keep Taiwan’s chips flowing to your factories. Americans are the reason the Houthis have not fully closed the Red Sea to British-flagged shipping. We are happy to help until now. Until Starmer tried selling off our only base in the Indian Oceans then refused to let us land planes. OUR OWN BASE Yes he relented but only under pressure. We will help protect your interests but on one condition: DO NOTHING No selling bases No overflight refusals No more dock denials in Gibraltar No crazy ROE debates No politicians demeaning us in debates No threating Elon Musk And no more 134 Royal Navy Admirals in cosplaying aboard your 15 broken warships. Tell them to hang up their uniforms and go home. OR STAND UP, make the king overthrow parliament & fund a proper navy Fight for your birthright or F*ck off. Your choice.
