ROFLMAO at representitive of Air League on BBC news channel!
"we should compare ourselves to Germany and Japan not the united states they don't have a nuclear weapon or aircraft carrier between them."
Chooses to forget reason why! they also don't have a seat on the UN security council their armed forces till recently couldn't operate outside the homeland.
if he wants us to compare ourselves to medium sized powers not USA , Russia or China then why not France?
