Ah, so by your moral logic, well, we think we can't trust you so we'll continue to do bad things our selves, instead of setting the moral example and then bitching....so, with your hands in the cookie jar and supporting known terrorist nations, soon to be on the axis of evil, while yourselves providing vast areas for recruitment and training of Islamics, you bitch at us? Very English of you....kinda why you lost that old empire feeling.
As for England's status...I've got news for you, 12 years ago, the Cold War ended...why has England become even more of a client state of America...but for you it's a choice between the US client state or the EU client state...I'd go with the US. England seems to have been made for servitude.
Read up on the Falklands, the Royal Navy scrambled almost all its resources and even that was almost not enough. If the US hadn't been continually selling you its satellite resources you might not have won with your "Royal" army. Now full of transgenders and janies in the front ranks....heard the EU was going to make you have invalids too.....that should be a hoot. But soon enough you'll all be Janisaries for the upcoming Islamic rulers of the Island.
You are a fan of colonialism then are you? The fact that Britain has stopped pursuing a policy of wanton colonialism is a positive attribute as far as most civilised people are concerned. I suppose being Russian you are not so "civilised".

Russia and the former Soviet republics are just as dangerous now as they used to be. Europe is weak and has no real military powerhouses, therefore, Britain obviously has to stick with someone who can balance us against you Russians.

Yes, the Falklands conflict required a large logistical operation, since it was on the other side of the world. The Argentinians had a major advantage as they are very close to the Falklands, but they still lost.
One of my uncles's friends was a corporal in 2 PARA and he fought at Goose Green. He said that many of the Argentinian officers just deserted their conscript troops and left them to face the paratroop regiment alone, of course the Argentinians lost and their military dictatorship fell. Kinda like your country wouldn't you say Stavka?
