Reply to comment by AMeasuredBerserker in Boris Johnson calls on UK to 'break the ice' by sending fighter jets to Ukraine - and warns China against 'historic mistake' by R1ckCrypto
This argument about words is distracting from the interesting point about whether or not Boris decreed military cutbacks (and if so, why). However, Wiktionary has both uses:
> (loosely) To devastate
> (proscribed) To reduce to one-tenth
and all the quotations in the latter case include some extra words like "to one-tenth" to make sure it's understood literally. In summary: whatever.

The historic mistake warns China against historic mistake.

Iraq was 20 years ago! And its the whole point I'm making! UK armed forces have only gotten incrementally better since then, anyone who works in defence knows this.
Numbers aren't everything, something Ukraine is arguably prooving?

Reply to comment by idoeno in Blinken says India, South Africa are on slow trajectory away from alignment with Russia by Falls_stuff
I think what he’s trying to say is that India and South Africa won’t shift their policy overnight, especially India what’s been closer to Russia for 75yrs whereas relations only began in 2008 with Nuclear deal between USA and India and only growing stronger and bigger each year.

Are you honestly being for real? If someone says they are decimated or something is decimated, do they mean "I've lost 1/10?" In the traditional Latin meaning of the word?
Most people dont even know it is Latin let alone that it means 1/10!
This is twisting the argument. And it's only a reflection of absolute numbers! Not if they are using better equipment etc, like is mentioned in the goddam article alot of the money is going to Trident renewal which perhaps even more important than having a couple thousand rifles!
Want to twist and move the goalposts again?

I think Indians understand the there are no permanent Allie’s only permanent interests too well. Unlike Pakistan, India excepts to be treated as an equal ally, they know how to negotiate and bargain well

Yeah, Ukraine specifically asked for Bushmasters by name, and we sent them some (we should probably send them more though).

What happened to not sending offensive weapons? Are we willing to pump gas on this global game of chicken .

I believe they also have 100 Typhoon jets, even if a handful of them are in working order is still directs the heat at the UK breaking the taboo so others can send theirs.
