The point is that you keep asserting that the UK has very little military power left,
Because they do. I'm sorry, your statements are simply false and badly so.
No, they don't. As I pointed out upthread, those three countries have annual military expenditures of $340 billion, compared to $57 billion for Poland. They have 600K active duty military personnel, compared to 220K for Poland. They have 2,200 military aircraft, compared to 450 for Poland. They have 300 naval vessels, compared to 45 for Poland.
And as *I* pointed out upthread, they're significantly under-gunned in proportion.
Which would be much more of an issue if the British Navy needed to operate a major military operation requiring a carrier in complete isolation. Fortunately for them, they don't need to, since their forces are going to operated in tandem with those of other military allies.
So you at least concede they can't operate their own major striking element on their own. Good. Progress!
Who's going to send support ships for the HMS Prince of Wales? France?
