    Second most powerful country in the world? Powerful self-own.

    Imagine bragging about being the second best at anything, Pepsi doesn't call itself the second most popular cola drink in their ads.

      They're objectively not even the second most powerful country in Europe if you count Russia.

          Yeah that's what I meant. I wouldn't call Germany stronger than the UK since they don't have their own nukes, but I'd definitely say France is a stronger world power than the UK and still maintains hegemony through neocolonialism, while the UK barely has any colonies/neo-colonies left.

            Germany is less powerful in terms of raw strength but more powerful in economy and soft power. I mean they're basically leader of the EU and the manufacturing engine of Europe with the the biggest GDP by far, TERF island has nothing going for it now.

            Also, germany-cool has around the same number of active military members and has been increasing their military budget to be around the same as the UK

              This isn't gonna go anywhere as far as power goes, it's just throwing money into the bottomless pit. There's no more actual structure to handle this money in any way that would yield results.

              The Bundeswehr was never that far behind in budget compared to some other nations with way more capable armed forces and all the money in the world is not going to fix this. About a decade of McKinsey consultants telling the Bundeswehr to send their paid soldiers home and then hire some minimum wage civilian to guard bases, presumably it makes sense on an excel spreadsheet, has left that entire organisations in absolute disarray compared to other western forces, to which I say; critical support for McKinsey for doing the best job at demilitarizing germany after the allies

    Wait is he seriously doing the Jobs bit of a fruit cleanse to treat cancer? We LITERALLY have the internet and you can google what happened to Steve Jobs for free and yet here we are.

      Pretty sure he's never used the internet, he has servants to do that for him.

      So critical support to the servants, I guess.

      Smh Steve just didn't drink enough juice. The NHS must fund the king's medically necessary bottles of orange juice from whole foods.

      He tried googling Steve Jobs but all he got were a bunch of memes telling him to ligma balls, proving once again that posting is praxis ligma-1ligma-2

      While it's a dumb shit approach to treating cancer, he's old. If he wants to do stupid shit for his health, let him do it.

      Now that I'm done humanizing a POS monarch, RIP BOZO. Your death will be deserved.

    The UK is as strong as ever

    Britain is the second most powerful country in the world

    "the sun never sets on the british empire, but only because we were never that strong to begin with"

        A while. Georgie is 11 now, and I assume knows his colours at this age. So he's already very well-suited to implementing the TERF Empire's will.

    Fortunes do change fast in a century. Going from decrying the so-called "Sick Man" of Europe to becoming one. History never lacks those karmic ironies.
