You didn't mention the EU, my point regarding that is that I can't recall a single instance of you criticising it, ever - apologies if I'm wrong about that, happy to be set right. But since Brexit you endlessly whinge about the UK and everything else we involve ourselves in, so I was merely iterating...More fool them.
The EU? Where did I mention the EU. Non of the military misadventures we have embarked on with the USA have had anything to do with the EU. When faced with an argument you have no answer to you inexplicably return to the irrelevant and settled Brexit debate. As an aside I do think our long term goal militarily should be to make any nuclear deterrent we have independent of the USA. If it’s not independent what’s the point of it?
For example, I've not seen you at any point being critical of the UK having close relations with, say, France, or the Netherlands, but as soon as we look to Australia or any of our other relations you start complaining - perhaps because of the Imperial history you so hate - though let's not forget that the EU is a self-declared 'Empire'. To me Brexit seems very relevant to you, because since it you've done nothing but slag off and bitch about all the UK does.
Anyway, back on topic... you haven't an argument, just an opinion which really doesn't fit with the real-world situation in re China. Delighted you see the value of a deterrent; we agree that the deterrent would best be entirely independent. Grateful if you'd expand on your thoughts about China...
