Britain is making a huge mistake.
Anyone think that we should start forming alliances with countries that aren’t deliberately shrinking their military?
Britan is about two clicks away from being ruled by Muslim immigrants. All they need is a small coup. And, there are only about 3,000,000 Muslims in Britan. And, not very many guns among the honest Brits. Plenty in the hands of the towelheads, I’m sure. More than enough.
The almost inevitable solution to this is the creation of an offshore corporate military, like Blackwater Security used to be. They cost just a fraction of a government army, and have little or no social engineering nonsense to put up with.
They could hire the best and brightest soldiers from around the world without offering them citizenship, and expenses could be shared by a dozen countries. Most of their rules would be like those of the French Foreign Legion.
For example, they would stay offshore and be forbidden for use in domestic disputes. Their senior NCOs and officers would be from the regular army.
But in this case, they would be contract employees, so if they were ordered to do something suicidal or stupid, they could refuse.
Right now, probably the best bet for Europe would be to set up such a corporation on one of the larger Greek islands, as part of the economic support for Greece. Construction of their facilities and day to day logistical support would also be Greek, pumping some money back into their economy.
