      Everyone has a smaller navy than they did in the 80s.

      The British military is one of the biggest and best in Europe. It's really weird saying they're some kind of national wimps like Italy or Belgium. They are hardly fading nor vestigial.

        i wouldnt say any euro military is necessarily national wimps, just very US-reliant and not very prestigious, especially compared to their imperial pasts. wanting a military rule in europe is like wanting to be a US colony
