LOLOL Whenever people talk about coalitions and allies, all I hear, is, "Help me, I'm too small and useless! I need 18 friends to do anything because I can't do shit myself." And a whole bunch of these little losers appear, everyone hoping to be the guy who gets to hang out in the back and blend in for the team picture. They get together to have a whole bunch of meetings about nothing.
To be fair, they had a 8 member colition attacking and raiding China even when it was weak and they was strong...
who cares?
Britain and France are fast becoming laughing stocks. I don't even know why people think these guys are superpowers or something like that. For example, as of 2022 Global Britain only has 125 operational fighters. The French don't have any 5th gens and they are unlikely to have any stealth aircraft until the late 2030s unless they buy F-35s. The supposedly god-tier Daring class carries only 24 long-range SAMs and has a totally anemic anti-ship capability. Their empire in the Pacific visions are pipe dreams.
Yeah, back then, they didn't need everyone else's help to do anything. Their meetings were about who gets to colonize where. Back then, China was weak and they were actually fighting each other within China to expand their own spheres of influence. Now they're huddled together like a bunch of chicks under a hen... a fat diabetic hen who gets more aggressive the more morbidities she accumulates.
This is data from the 2018-2020 period? Geeze, the US must be buried by now.
