I thought we had NATO. What's up here. I smell a rat. While elections are going on in the US. Our allies planning a sneak attack.

Sign of the times of how skint we are, when we have to share Aircraft Carriers with the French. Historical enemies that are now sharing Armed Forces. My heart tells me " No Fucking Way ", but my head says. "Good Idea". I'd rather be allies with our nearest neighbours than in the pocket of the US War Machine.

So when you 2 disagree where to send the fleet is it rock, paper scissors? Nelson is rolling over and heaving in his grave.

We still have independent fleets - we're just making aircraft carriers/nuclear testing facililities available to the other partner, thus saving money. And a joint expeditionary force might increase sovereignty as I see it, as we might be less dependent on US approval and assistance when we want to act in our own national interest.

It's not personal. It's just war.

Two of my neighbors bought a snow plow together... it's a great idea when it's just light snow falling, but when the heavy stuff falls... I wish you all the best. I'll root for you guys when the heavy stuff falls.

This has been happening. Japan signed one with Australia last year. This is about not getting dragged into our wars.

The modern definition of "socialist" is anyone who's winning an argument against a tea-bagger.

That's what NATO is for.

This treaty is for lighter stuff, like sneak attacks on CatPirate.
