France sending bigger fleet than Britain's to Persian Gulf

The fact that the Brits continue run around the world causing chaos and war with no military to speak of is interesting....I am told that it is because London is still a banking center as a legacy of the British Empire and that the West is run by the Wall Street Mafia.

It isn't per se Starmer. Britain has suffered from heavy doses of socialism returning since Thacher did away with much of it back in the 80's. The result is that the UK is drowning in a sea of debt and, as always with the Left in the Western world they went looking for more cash wherever they could find it. Defense is one of those things they cut beyond the bone.

Between peace and the Left in the UK seeing the US being their protector, they looted defense to temporarily prop up things like the NHS. Now the chickens are coming home to roost. The UK can't project power anywhere today. The Royal Navy is welded to a pier with ships that don't work and ships that there's no money to fix or even fully man. The army and RAF have been reduced to near nothing.

If Argentina tried to take the Falklands today, they'd probably succeed. The UK has nothing to send.

Assertion assertion. Give evidence, please.

How are the Brits causing "chaos and war"?

Terry sees that Trump and the magats have gone full NeoCon and so now he is parroting the generations prior NeoCon arguments.

Everything Terry is pushing now is stuff we heard during the NeoCon era. If you speak against the necessity and reasoning of this way 'you want America to lose', if you condemn the US life loss 'why do you hate the troops'.

Terry WILL NOT question whether this war was necessary, whether the US was manipulated, whether it is another no win middle east quagmire, or that the US has been EXACTLY here prior and what it lead to, with the US controlling ME puppet regimes and controlling decisions on ME oil, was the rise of the terror organizations that saw the US as the great Satan, even as Trump now says 'he wants to choose ME leaders and control the Strait'.

I get that many young people do not know the prior US history in the region and thus cannot see how what Trump is pushing now is just a recycling of the prior NeoCon play book, that lead to 9/11, but i am pretty sure Terry is old enough to see it.

He just can't see it due to TDS but if this was any leader but Trump, he would be all of this as wrong. But since it is Trump he will be all in, all the way thru it.

Oh, absolutely. Here's what @T. A. Gardner does when faced with something horrible trump has done:

First, he'll say Biden did it.

Then he'll say trump did it to fix something Biden did.

Basically, anything fucked up trump and the Republicans do - TA wants us to believe that somehow, still a YEAR IN to trump's presidency, that somehow, "IT'S BIDEN'S FAULT".

He's a trumptard infected with BDS.

That terrible socialism!

The UK 's debt-to-GDP ratio is currently estimated at 93.1% of GDP as of early 2026.



For the USA
  • Total National Debt: The U.S. national debt has reached approximately $39.0 trillion.
  • Annual GDP: The current-dollar nominal GDP is estimated at $31.5 trillion.
  • Calculated Ratio: Dividing the debt by the GDP ($39.0 /

    results in a ratio of 123.8%.

Looks like the "terrible socialism" is producing much better results than capitalism on this metric.
