British Helmand veterans dispatched to defend Falklands

[Boby64]

When you are defending a nation, the cost is invaluable.

Do we really need to defend ourselves, like we did years ago, with those nukes weapons everywhere around the globe ?
/think and /discuss

Hey man look at the US, they facing falling off the fiscal cliff and they still keep 10 aircraft carriers in operation..

Plus, all these military constructions will create a shitload of jobs, and already have in the engineering area.
Look at the UK's power during the Falklands war and what it's come to today.

Look how the US debt increase day after day. One day, they'll colapse. Just wait.
Because it can't keep up this way. USA can't continue spending billions of dollars in a useless army.

While it's true the USA is in trillons of debt I don't think they'll collapse. That's just how the world works right now, stacking up debts.

Actually it won't take very long for the USA to collapse.
The debts keep stacking up and someone's going to have to pay this. Who? The people.
Taxes will increase, people will lose a huge part of their salary aswell, only for this debt to be repaid.
One day it won't be able to go further, money will not come anymore and debts will just continue to go up.

You think China's going to let them off with all them billions for the next 100 years without saying or doing shit all?

You think they'll go to war over that? Without USA buying all the manufactured goods China produces, they'll collapse way before the US does to their debt.

Sell more 50 cents burgers, problem solved.

I wish we had 50 cent burgers.

The whole UK, Europe, Russia and other places buy off China, so the US isnt really a big deal to them.. Though it does buy alot.

Germans are very punctual and hardworking people! British people have a great sense of humor! Canadians are very polite! Punish me! NOW! You should not tolerate this kind of stereotyping from me!
