Subject: Does the UK have the man power to win a war on it's own?

Recon Number 54 -
If they are still looking, then while holding the snarl, I let drool start to drip from my mouth, I stand, curl my fingers into claws and with a hunched over crouch, I then make slow and deliberate steps towards them. When I get close enough, I let them hear my agonized and gasping growls and then, if they continue to stare, when I get within arm's reach? I kiss them on the nose, and run away giggling.

No because Defence cuts have left the Armed forces out to dry.

But with the world in a more stable place with organisations like the UN, EU and NATO with enough clout to keep the peace, there is really no need for a huge army.

Trident is good enough for the UK.
Invade us, we Nuke you.

Against China, USA or Russia?

No way.

Feel free to send me messages, please be willing to wait 6-8 years for a reply.

1-7 hours if you at least tried to make it readable.

Immediately if you are Yax, Telec, or legendary.

Never if you are mythic, you guys smell funny.

what about the commonwealth nations the Queen is still their monarch.
We cant exactly go "oi Canada, come die for us."


yet America seems to do that with our troops.

OT: We beat the argies back, but honestly, it would all depend on the country, the style of combat, who was attacking who, and how long the war would last.

I don't think the UK would win against the 3 big powers (US, China, Russia), but against most everyone else they would most likely end up winning. The only other nations that I see as a problem for them are France and Germany, but even in those cases they have a fighting chance.

Um they have the common wealth all the money in the world yea u think they would be ok.

They have the threat of Nuclear Weapons which is 10x bigger than any army.
But on a soldier to soldier scale we wouldn't get near it.

That all depends on Scotland becoming Independent or not though.

The UK actually has many nuclear submarines dotted around the world in secret locations. Since they have intel on most of the nuclear defences around the world (especially the USA, Europe and Russia) they could probably find a way to bypass the defences and wipe out entire countries since the nukes on the subs are numerous.

That's exactly what America said to the UK about the Middle East...

Didn't the Falkland war boil down to the fact that British ships could fire just out of range of the Argentina ships/guns?
I would of thought it would be because they underestimated the UK and probably didn't think they could retake them because of the proximity of the islands to Argentina compared to the UK

UK has Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May.


They'll be fine.

We could hold our ground against a country such as USA, Russia, or china. But we couldn't invade.

We did invade the USA once. We ended up burning their capital city to the ground.

Since you're part of the EU, you would win ANY war easily.

This. No country could ever defeat the EU.

I don't believe the UK could invade any major/big country, but I'm pretty sure it could hold off any other country to stop it invading them, since it's an island.
