This was a link on the main subsim page.Although it's from the Huff post, not exactly a real news source but anyway.

I've heard opponents of defense spending here and in other places such as UK argue we no longer need this or that since the Soviet Union is gone.Really? Are they that naive or just stupid? China will be our next problem, Russia will emerge as a big problem also, they already kind of are.So we need to keep our ability to deter hostility and respond accordingly if it occurs.

I'm sure Argentina would be emboldened if there was not Royal Navy or just a very small one.

Always unfortunate people who have no idea about military matters are in charge of the purse strings.Very unfortunate.
