Hi I was just wondering do you do all the writing yourself or do you have guest writers. I’m enjoying your blog. Thanks.

at the moment…isn’t India kind of an ally with China? Last time I checked they were freinds with all the big countries…basically not taking sides. If this goes ahead it will be clear that they are moving away from China and closer to the US and its allies.

We definately need a new NATO for Asia (Democracies only).
India,US,South Korea,Australia and maybe just to rub it in Taiwan.
Russia frankly isn’t much of a threat just an ego problem of a fallen superpower.
China is the common enemy bolstering rouge regimes in Africa and Asia and claiming foreign territory as its own.
The sooner the better.

In the near future, we are likely to see an alliance of civilizations with India. India-UK-USA-Australia-NZ-Japan would be a powerful alliance indeed. This would provide a strong counterweight to other nations in the pacific region that might seek future regional naval dominance.

hiya, i don’t know if the UK wanted to be involved in these exercises, but with the current appalling treatment of our navy I would bet we don’t have the ships spare anyway. It is a disgrace the way our military spending is being used at the moment, as well as the actual level of it (~2% gdp in reality at most). Anyway rant off ;-)
