Britain would have much to gain if Ivan conquered them, ie: lessen Muslim threat, and make men out Brits if that’s even possible.
82 000 is ridiculous. With disarmed society, an islamic uprising of millions there and whoosh, no more england
Sad, they once had the best navy in the world.
“The £1billion ship has a space on the deck where a cruise missile launcher is meant to be but it was scrapped to save cash“
Council Flats are expensive. And the Brit government has made quite clear where their priorities lie.

Britain is like Canada, why spend billions on defense when you’ve got the US to do that for you.
You’d think the British would still keep up their navy.
The Russians aren’t going to get many tanks into Piccadilly Circus without coming across the ocean.
The story is not fair.
The Brits fired 8 bunker busting Storm Shadow cruise missiles.
These missiles are unique and not an ordnance that we deploy.
They struck first and softened the hardened targets so that our follow on cruise missiles could finish.
Where is the credit that is due the Brits for their 13 aerial tankers that flew out of Cyprus?
Those tankers caused the Russians to think the attack was coming from the west allowing the success we had.
True or not, that's going to leave a mark. Second fiddle to the French? Nelson is rolling in his grave. Bad show...
I am only guessing, but it's that the Royal Navy hit a nadir some time ago and is slowly climbing out, hopefully in time for whatever Brexit turns out to be. The British Special Forces are as good as it gets. It simply won't do to underestimate the British - that's been a bad bet for a very long time.
It has been reported that Britain has more general officers than main battle tanks. So let’s look on the bright side. If another major war occurs, each British tank could be commanded not by some green lieutenant, but by an experienced general.
