The United States has threatened to oppose Britain’s sovereignty over the Falkland Islands if Andy Burnham does not increase defence spending, The Telegraph can reveal.
The proposal is among measures being drawn up by senior defence officials at the Pentagon as an incentive to hit Nato’s 5 per cent spending pledge.
A senior US official told The Telegraph that Britain was likely to receive “special attention” in Washington’s review of its allies’ commitment to Nato, which will examine whether member nations have credible paths toward the target.
With what? Buzz the islands with some over-tired and exausted soldiers without any weapons because your dumb pedo ass wasted them trying to impress the Iranians?
If they bring that Aircraft Carrier from the Middle East over to the Falklands I’m pretty sure all the sailors will jump overboard and swim to the islands to claim asylum.
The Falkland Islands, population about 3000 or so, would suddenly find itself one of the few territories in the world capable of deploying an aircraft carrier.
