Prime Minister Boris Johnson wants to carve out a role for Britain as a swashbuckling leader of a new era of global cooperation and free trade, backed by cutting-edge modern military and cyber capabilities.
“I have taken this decision in the teeth of the pandemic because the defence of the realm must come first,” Johnson said in a statement. At a time of heightened global uncertainty, the continued rise of China and after four years of U.S. President Donald Trump’s international diplomacy, Britain’s 2016 vote to leave the European Union has thrown its own role and global influence into doubt.
“In defense of the realm”? Hey UK there is no “realm”. You are now a second tier power at best. This is Churchillian bombast without an empire to fund it. Take care of your people, get them well, invest in your economy instead.
War coming!? Don’t understand why people don’t learn from the past.
Is this to convert tanks to electric?
The trouble is he has no money left. He gave it away to his chums ... for overpriced, poor quality and late PPE and CONsultancy fees.

Fabulous.
What is Trump selling?
They need army for extermination! 👿👎💀
🤣🤣🤣All the right people (Left twats) being upset on this thread.
The UK will get mawled after fossil fuels dry up if they don't build up a modern military. Any European nation who updates their defenses and agriculture systems in the coming years will be glad that they did. Food surpluses will be important.
Brexit 2016: You’ll get infrastructure, agriculture, and healthcare! No more nosy EU! Brexit 2020: Sorry, best I can do is guns and import duties.
BJ: 'The international situation is more perilous and more intensely competitive than at any time since the Cold War' Right, but how about building trustworthy alliances with your friends and neighbours first?
Pay per mile. Electric cars. Swapping gas central heating for electric. Extra £16bn for military when we owe £2 trillion because of covid. At this rate I will have to work til I’m 143. What else does he want? The shirt off my back?
Fighting to the END！
Time to blow some shit up
Boris preparing for the coming riots in England and Scottish Independence.

Way to follow the American playbook! Donald will be pleased.

Looking forward to a £10 billion contract for WMDs being awarded without competitive tender to a pastry shop owned by the Tory chairman’s mum.
Great, just what we need
