No bully pls, let them have their fun.

Stronger than russia
So if you think russians are a global power then UK is too by default.

In reality the US is the only global power left in the world after USSR fell apart.

China is slowly turning into one so you might want to mentally prepare yourself for that.

Brits are the ones bullying.

And they dont have their gang to back them up anymore.

>Stronger than russia
No.

>So if you think russians are a global power then UK is too by default.
No.

>China is slowly turning into one
No.

China, Russia,France and the U.K. are all global powers

China is slowly becoming a superpower

>China is slowly becoming a superpower
t; Quang Chan Chu.

>t.dumb nigger

>t; butthurt MENA immigrant

China will grow larger

Bro you can disregard it all you want but it's true.
It's different than what was said in the 70's about Japan.

China's middle class is currently bigger than the entirety of the U.S population.

>China will grow larger
So will their population.

>China's middle class is currently bigger than the entirety of the U.S population.
Their Avian Flu deaths are more than US population as well.

Obviously we're not a super power, but we still hold our own for our size.

The EU doesn't back us up, we were a massive net contributor to it.

Why are Americans (or at least this one American) so butthurt about Britain trying to preserve its own sovereignty? You've posted this thread or similar ones a few times before.

The fact is that economic growth has been stagnant in the UK during the past decade, and is almost entirely concentrated in hands of the rich living in the global hive that is London. Whereas smaller towns and working classes across the isles have been decimated (ex. fishing industries). And social policies and immigration have put the country into disarray, sparking massive ethnic tensions and making the UK feel powerless to control its own destiny.

Brexit was the right call, and Hard Brexit is the only actual Brexit - a soft Brexit is just a remain by another name. Its the EU bureaucrats who are "the ones bullying" because they fear the collapse of their grand experiment in cultural corruption and identity deconstruction.

>Why are Americans (or at least this one American) so butthurt about Britain trying to preserve its own sovereignty?
>You've posted this thread or similar ones a few times before.
Thats not what this thread is about.

This is about whether the UK actually thinks they are a global power.

Not whether or not they can or will or should leave EU.

Why do Canadians get so butthurt when Americans accurately point out world powers?

>The EU doesn't back us up, we were a massive net contributor to it.
Doesn't this make it easier for a new EU power to rise? Like France?

Was the UK actually required to be the biggest contributor or was that just a was to get influence in EU?

Because they wanted us to stay and be their voice in the EU and we told them to fuck off.

>they wanted us to stay and be their voice in the EU
The UK isn't even progressive enough to be our voice.

Pretty sure it was required.

Showing net is probably clearer

>not stronger than a country with an economy weaker then Italy and a military full of 50 year old rusty tanks and planes

Just another badly informed internet pleb move along everyone

So Germany, France and even Italy contributed more to EU than UK. And then got more than UK.

Seems about right.

We're worse off in net terms expect for Germany

>and a military full of 50 year old rusty tanks and planes
>The Queen doesn't even have the worlds best navy anymore

>This is about whether the UK actually thinks they are a global power.

We'll soon have 2 ramped aircraft carriers, which automatically makes Britain a global power.

HMS Dragon was there too to say hello.

Italy, a country with the economy of Russia, contributed more to EU than UK..

That is saying a lot.

>soon have 2 ramped aircraft carriers, which automatically makes Britain a global power.

Russian craft looks bigger and more equiped than that British fishing vessel.

It doesn't even have 1 aircraft on it.

>contributed more to EU
but they also get most of that back, less of a net contribution

>Russian craft looks bigger and more equiped
It looks like it' about to explode you fucking retard.

Russia also has a ramped aircraft carrier but you're fine with that? The Queen Elizabeth class is bigger and up to date.

Maybe it the UK would funnel more money into the scheme; it would get some more back.

>Russia also has a ramped aircraft carrier but you're fine with that?
Of course, Russia is ally of the US now. We need them to be fit and proper.

Russia has up to date nukes, when was the last time the UK built new nuclear missiles?

Thats called 'exhaust', from having superior energy industry and access.

Do you build for China by any chance?

>Russia has up to date nukes, when was the last time the UK built new nuclear missiles?

Britain renews its nuclear capabilities regularly.

>We need them to be fit and proper.
>that aircraft is fit and proper

The "Satan 2" nuclear missile is more advance than any missile created by the UK. It can reach any target on Earth in less than 7 minutes and capable of destroying an area the size of France or Texas.

Please, tell us more about your boats that have ramps.

>Maybe it the UK would funnel more money into the scheme; it would get some more back.
but that isn't how it works at all

Quit buying boats with ramps and wasting money on overpriced healthcare.

>It can reach any target on Earth in less than 7 minutes
Are you aware of how ballistic missiles work?

and what, fund greece and poland instead?

Fucks sake Poland

Are you aware Russia has 1 missile capable of taking out the entire UK?

Im assuming you dont since you changed the subject. Since it cant be shot down either.

telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/10/25/russia-unveils-satan-2-missile-powerful-enough-to-wipe-out-uk-fr/

The only global power is the USA.
UK, France, Russia and China are regional powers.

Don't fund anything, let markets work.

>Are you aware Russia has 1 missile capable of taking out the entire UK?

Thankfully our nuclear missiles on submarines.

*does a little poo*

Who's changing the subject? It appears to be you.

Bulgaria is the only global power

>UK, France, Russia and China are regional powers.

UK and France have blue water navies so aren't just regional powers. The UK also has military airbases spread across the world.

>THIS MUCH BUTTHURT
Thankfully your missiles can be shot down.

:]

Nigel Farrage is riding a missile into Brussels as we speak

Noice m8

I'm pretty sure the UK's nukes use MIRVs, so I doubt it.

>Polish plane

Coincidence?

Vlad mate, if Russia is so stronk why not go back there?

>MIRV
That has nothing to do with trajectory.

Just payload and damage capability and aiming.

>if Russia is so stronk why not go back there?
>implying i dont go back and forth between Alaska-Russia border on a daily basis.

8 separate, small warheads will be much harder to shoot down. I don't even know how you would intercept a non-MIRV warhead desu. At terminal velocity they're going about 27,000 km/h, too fast for missile intercept, unless you know exactly where they're going at have lots of very fast SAMs in the area.

can we nuke nukes in mid air

That seems very unhealthy.

>At terminal velocity they're going about 27,000 km/h, too fast for missile intercept, unless you know exactly where they're going at have lots of very fast SAMs in the area.
The US had mid air EMP devices, we only need to be within a few miles to disable most nuclear weapons.

I would've thought ICBM warheads would be EM hardened desu. Nuclear explosions generate EMPs on their own.

>Nuclear explosions generate EMPs on their own.
Once they detonated, yes. In air they are at their most vulnerable.

That's a pretty small time window though. Most of the internet sources I'm seeing are saying that it's very difficult to intercept ICBMs.

The City has basically worked as a services/financial gateway to Europe for decades and you import tons of basic goods, everything from consumer to suply chain side, from the continent.

But hey Poles will no longer be taking the space required for Pakis, Hindus and blacks from the West Indies and you will no longer have to make your pillows flame retardant or go without all the preservatives and additives Americans put in their food. Good call.
