NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg advised that after the UK leaves the European Union, 80% of NATO's defence spending will come from outside the EU. https://t.co/2icWfP5zkx— UK Defence Journal (@UKDefJournal) November 9, 2019
Read this tweet.
Read the article and I was knocked to my knees. The US-UK team has been GREATLY underestimated by yours truly.
I knew of the relationship militarily but got lost in the weeds by much of the talk that I've seen inside the UK with regard to their feelings about the US.
I guess once you get past that noise the truth is glaring.
The US-UK team is indeed formidable.
Add a couple more reliable allies and you have the makings of a hyper lethal mix of combat power. I'm thinking the Aussies (of course), along with maybe Japan (S. Korea seems a bit fickle lately) and as sauce for the goose (although unlikely) Singapore and that would be all that would be needed to maintain a new hegemony that could ensure global prosperity.
Probably won't happen but as things stand the US along with the UK is more than good enough.
