So they're suggesting the UK guarantee military support to people a very long way from Europe? That didn't work out very well in the past. And with only two carriers on a good day - that's quite an ask
I appreciate it can be difficult to interpret the stream of postings - particularly if one does not actually understand the maritime domain. I think what you may have missed is that RUSI are not proposing sending QEC east. What they are suggesting is an analogous approach to AUKUS for a wider, none-5 eyes community that exports UK knowhow, technology and training to enable the community to develop their own A2AD capabilities.
