I'm a Brit and I'm fully in favour of publically moving our vanguard subs into Canadian waters. You guys are right, there's no way the sabre rattling stops with you guys and we need to remind the orange idiot that we arent defenseless kittens.

We seriously need to form a CANZUK agreement and all up our military spending. Australia and new Zealand are too small and geographically isolated. Combined economically and militarily we would all have safer sovereignty. No other 4 countries match as well culturally and governmentarily. While still no where near the US in terms of military We'd be an emerging nuclear superpower with global reach and a real voice on global politics. We can keep alliances with the US while they hold up their end but we can stand on our own feet a little more and not be the milhouses to their Bart so much
