#2  Don't count on the British Navy until 2030 or so after ...

To wit,

* WAFF > BRITAIN WILL BE WIDOUT ANY FULLY-WORKING AIRCRAFT CARRIERS UNTIL 2030, MP'S WARN.

Only 1 CVF = QUEEN LIZ-class CVF [namesake]may finish contruction by 2019, be initially operational come 2020, but NOT "FULLY OPERATIONAL" until 2030.

Uh, uh, YAY-Y-Y - THE "LIZ" WILL BE FULLY READY = MISSION(S)-CAPABLE JUST WHEN ITS ABOUT TO BE RETIRED???

and

* CHINESE MILITARY FORUM > US$1.0TRILYUHN PENTAGON BUDGET CUT IS POSSIBLE, BUT NOT WISE: BLOOMBERG VIEW.

Up to US$1.2T for FYS2013-2021.

Espec given ...

* TOPIX > BRITAIN MAY GO BACK INTO RECESSION IN 2012.

* DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > PLA RESEARCHER SAYS US [clearly = intentionally] AIMS TO ENCIRCLE CHINA.

* WAFF > RAYMOND DAVIES + ZAWAHIRI STOLE UK NUKES | UK EXTREMELY WORRIED ABOUT [3 ea.] STOLEN NUKES.

#1  Always wanting someone else to pay the bill. Perhaps they can find some of that oil for food graft money that flowed into Tota Fina Elf and others and help out with that.
