The British military is a shell of what it once was. These are some numbers for the army but their air force & navy have similarly reduced capabilities & capacity to project force across it's shrinking, but still large, empire.
I bring this up because I recently read an article where many in the current Argentine government, including the president, have made overtures about taking the Falkland Islands back. With the current state of the British military - I think they could easily do it and possibly do so without a shot being fired.
The size of the task force the British sent back then just couldn't be mobilized with their current capacity/capabilities.
I'm not routing for this to happen AT ALL but it's interesting to think of just how quickly a once great military can be reduced to a shell of its former self....

In general I have little sympathy for cyclists who ride their bikes on roads & get hit as that's where the cars live.
In this case, I only have sympathy for the driver who's car was damaged...
