    The UK kas nukes, they don’t need an army. There’s never been a country with nukes that’s had their mainland invaded.

      Nukes don’t matter when the UK isn’t being directly invaded. They can never use nukes in a war that does not involve their possible destruction.

      It’s going to be AI and drones, not boots on the ground.
