Hi Courtney, the wars we've had since 1999 have seen defence expenditure maintained at an approximate level while the level of personnel and equipment have all taken a pasting. I'm convinced that certainly during the Blair years every time H.M. Forces were called upon to engage the Foe they shrank a bit more.
I don't know what I want really, certainly not to see anyone killed, what with the terrible time for that individual's folks each time. But that's like saying I don'y want to see anyone get wet in a deluge. As for what to expect, I think from here, taking into account a broad overview of how this World's leaders are dealing with one another I imagine anything can happen. Diane Abbot was on the Radio today wanting something done about the people stranded between a Mountain top and the rampaging army of I.S. ogres. But she's appalled at the idea of any U.K. (or anyone else's) military intervention. Still, the cease fire over Gaza looks like holding!?
