Former First Sea Lord Alan West has said the UK should send a nuclear submarine to the Falkland Islands. He is so right. Unfortunately it is the only thing left that we can do. Our forces have been stripped to the bone.
A nuclear submarine is the only military craft that can reach the Falklands in a sensible time. The question is, whether it is too little too late.
As I have previously posted, we the British people have been down this path before. As soon as the Argentine government thinks that there is no danger of retribution they and their cronies initiate outrageous acts such as banning ships flying a Falklands flag from their ports.
So many voices have been telling the government that they have got their defense strategy all wrong. We are supposed to learn from the lessons taught to us by history.
Clearly the British Government hasn’t learn anything.
