What the fuck is their problem?
Britain possesses no local nuclear reactor production knowledge. Why do you think they have to source all of their nuclear reactors from China? They lack the facilities, the industrial capacity, and the institutional knowhow.
They should unironically buy Chinese carriers from now on.
That's like asking why they scrapped every last veteran battleship after wwii. They're always broke
Because submarine reactors are not the same thing as carrier reactors.
And yet it produces its own submarine reactors, refine Uranium for warheads etc.
That's also not Chinese reactor technology. It is French.
Poverty, mostly.

fuck, the rebels got lucky they didn't get glassed right off the bat
>why doesn't this small nation spend exorbitant amounts of money on useless equipment that will do nothing for decades and eventually just get sold to Brazil or something when there are no serious enemy threats

>muh chinese
Yeah, like the Chinese are going to get into a fight with the people supporting their entire economy by buying their cheap shitty consumer goods.
>muh russians
literally who, the USSR at it's peak didn't even do jack shit, only reason Ivan is in Ukraine because literally no once gives a fuck about Ukraine.
They need to use suez canal to go from europe to asia, which doesnt allow nuclear powered vessels.
>Britain possesses no local nuclear reactor production knowledge.
Maybe learn before you speak
You fucking idiot
Not at all true. I rode a nimitz through the suez not long ago

Do you know the difference between a decade and a century?
Here's a hint; you're a retard.

Based vexillology poster.
I think you’re the retard for not knowing the difference between the UK flag and the one in the OP.
What country are we talking about?
Sounds super gay
can't believe it's already summer, make sure to pay closer attention in history class class next year and look at flags a little closer
Well xe's in the navy, so...
>if you have alot of money, and your country is particularly wealthy, your country can be described as in poverty
in your fentanyl tainted smooth-brain, is poverty defined by how poor you /feel/ some other nation is?

>Western nation purchasing reactors from China
Why are anglos such third worlders?
I am actually of the britbong persuasion, and upon closer examination, it appears as though OP's flag is incorrect, you are quite right, and that joke went soaring straight the fuck over my head.
