Can Britain be trusted?

[BrilloPad]

Britain is becoming a friend who can't be trusted, says top US general - Telegraph

"Gen Raymond Odierno, US army Chief of Staff, says UK defence cuts are eroding his country's confidence in our commitment to global security"

Why should it be up to the UK to act as world police?

And, bearing in mind the way the US treats us, why should we be friends with the US?

They wanted to be the world's policemen, so STFU & get on with it.

Completely agree. They want to spread democracy, freedom and MaccyD's to foreign lands? Let them do it and pay the costs in both materials and blood. Too many stupid wars being started these days. It's almost like they learned nothing from Vietnam..

Not to mention all those airbases you've had in this fecking country free gratis & for nothing since the 1940s.

Didn't they say they were going to close Mildenhall or somewhere like that? Or did I imagine it?
