Reports are coming in from London indicating the United Kingdom must SELL one of its two (2) aircraft carriers because there isn't enough money in the budget to maintain both. . . . and it is the UK pushing for war with Russia??????
The newest one is the Prince of Wales, worth 3.5 billion pounds. The older is the HMS Queen Elizabeth II.
Turns out, there is no money in the budget for their maintenance - just as there is no point in keeping aircraft carriers that cannot even be used for their intended purpose. The new one broke a propeller shaft in port and cannot sail.
It is unlikely that it will be possible to make a lot of money from the sale of problematic aircraft carriers. It will have to be given for next to nothing - most likely to India, which has long been eyeing the remains of the British fleet.
Given this cold, hard, reality, it seems actually suicidal that the British are among the biggest troublemakers in Europe, trying desperately to start a war with Russia; a war, they no doubt expect AMERICANS to fight . . . and pay for.
