Originally posted by vindicktive vinny why do you need to defend your own airspace without being seen by your own radar.
For reasons. One in particular is my aforementioned one regarding my personal anxiety. I would just feel more safe and secure, as well as feeling good in general about everything, if we had more defense jets...more fighter jets too. All of them. More jets in general is what I'm obviously saying. I like how they protect me. -

Total cost of the Cold War (1948-1991) in 1996 dollars = $13.1 Trillion.
http://academic.brooklyn.cuny.edu/history/johnson/milspend.htm
Above figure is just for the Yanks. $40 billion is 0.3% of that. 1/327.5th
The US spent an average of $300 billion a year preparing and pretending to fight the Red Army back in the 1970s. Ukraine is proposing to spend a defence budget of $30 billion actually fighting the Red Army in 2023.
The US defence budget in 2022 was $1.64 trillion. $40 billion is 2.4% of that. -

2022-12-22 at 9:45 PM UTCJust for a point of fun though..there is no British English either...as the dialects from Ireland, Scotland, Wales and England are not unified...and are quite a bit different.
For example:
A kid in Scotland is "a bairn"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish_English
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welsh_English
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiberno-English
There is no "unified" British English, regardless of what the dictionary says. I've talked to Scottish people and not understood a fucking word of what they've said
...all irrelevant to the fact no such language as British language exists...it's THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE...
… And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England's mountains green?
And was the holy Lamb of God
On England's pleasant pastures seen?
And did the countenance divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among those dark Satanic Mills?
… Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Bring me my arrows of desire!
Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold!
Bring me my chariot of fire!
I will not cease from mental fight,
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand,
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant Land.
