Agressively.
I disagree
We should always be looking to gain the superior position over other countries.
That best serves the people and state
I disagree I think it's important to be in a position to defend yourself but I disagree with power for powers sake
I thought you wanted to be in the best position for your people though?
I want my people to be free
They can be
We can still be aggressively influencing other countries abroad
I don't think it's necessary at the moment at least for the UK
Why? Now we need it more than ever
The UK is economically weakened and will struggle after Brexit
We need to be pushing HARD to mediate the damage we take
I agree there and we should stand for our people's interest but when you say aggressively it sounds like you mean something like using the millitary and I don't think that is necessary
We certainly should be looking to use the miltary
I completely disagree haha
That's one of the best tools we have
We have a high tech military, our economy benefits from war since we have a large arms export industry as well
can you provide an example ?
On? @Crafty
aggressive influence with our military
Hard and soft power.
No lmao @sirwoods
I'm not sure what you mean by use the military then
Gunboat diplomacy?
Maybe we look for some African countries which are in a civil war. We end that. We gain the support of that government and benefits
To an extent as well @sirwoods
So empire? Start an empire to be more powerful and be stronger?
While negotiating trade deals having a carrier strike force floating near wouldn't be a bad thing
so like world police style?
We can use both hard and soft power to kick start that
I disagree I don't think we need to start an empire to remain free
We need to agressively be pushing debt diplomacy abroad as well
Then die under the thumb of China. @sirwoods
can you imagine the international outrage if the uk started invading african nations to sort their shit out
Who is doing exactly what I've said.
we cant even sort our own shit out
I don't see why if anything that will be an economic burden
*Intervening* to bring a bloody, brutal civil war to an end? @Crafty
