Should the situation in Iran....
Be a warning for us to rebuild our navy which has been depleted by successive governments?
I know we are part of Nato and work as a combined force but we should still have the capacity to engage in multiple theatres of war simultaneously.
We do have two new aircraft carriers but if war with Iran became a reality and they ended up deployed to the region then hypothetically another nation could take advantage,Say a Falklands 2.0 situation.We should imo be committing more than 2% of GDP into our military in these tense times.
We don’t want to be caught out.
