Does the UK have any "military secrets" anymore? I think not given that several successive Governments have sold off our technology on the open market.
The UK is beholden to the USA to maintain our Trident nuclear deterrant. If the USA decided to part company with the UK (Highly likely if Argentina get nasty) then our SSBN's will become ineffective within 12 months or so.
There is an imminent US election & Obama will (thankfully) be gone. That will leave a power vacuum, filled by any one of the power mad idiots who can bring in the money. ...
2012 brings severe dangers to the world with the US elections allowing several "good ole' boys" from the deep south to be elected.
Sadly, this world can do without them. We could, of course, treat them like Bin Laden & ask Mossad to assasinate them before they cause International damage - but that ain't goin to happen
Good ole' USA - try extraditing me today - A Challenge
