{UAH} UK ARMY - ITS PLACE AS ONE OF THE WORLD'S STRONGEST ARMY IS QUESTIONABLE

The United Kingdom

Active Military (Wikipedia): 198,810

It may not be called the United Kingdom for very long! The independence debate that is currently raging about the British Isles at the moment will be decided through a vote on whether or not Scotland is going to separate from the rest of the United Kingdom on the 18th of September. Whether or not Scotland is a part of the United Kingdom may not seem to have actual relevance – or anything to do with at all – the question of whether nor the United Kingdom is one of the strongest armies in the world, but in fact, a change in the structure of the company could have huge repercussions on their global firepower. At the moment, Trident, the United Kingdom's nuclear deterrent, lies just off the coast of Scotland. That means that if the people of Scotland decide to become independent, the rest of the United Kingdom will have to think about how they are going to move those nuclear weapons. It will cost a huge amount of money, take a very long time . . . and leave Scotland pretty much defenceless. A lot of what has been discussed with regards to the potential separation has been vague, so we hope that someone has bothered to think up a clever way of dealing with this – otherwise the United Kingdom could lose their status as one of the strongest military in the world.
