"…MoD must now come clean and reveal how it 'balanced the books' and at what cost to the defence of the UK."...................<a href="http://www.defencemanagement.com/news_story.asp?id=19736">http://www.defencemanagement.com/news_story.asp?id=19736</a>Queda patente que nadie sabe si esos 8 mil millones (la palabra ingles "billion" significa mil millones, no un billón) porque nadie vio el presupuesto. En otros fuentes se dice que también se alega motivos de seguridad nacional, para no publicar los "detalles" del presupuesto. Esos 8.000 millones de libras por ahora sólo están en boca de Hammond.UK 'must operate second carrier'16 May 2012The UK must operate both Queen Elizabeth class aircraft carriers in order to preserve relations with the US and NATO, an American thinktank has warned.In the 'Anchoring the alliance' report published by the Atlantic Council, R Nicholas Burns, a former US ambassador to NATO, called on the UK to either operate the second carrier or submit it for use by NATO or the United States...................."The United Kingdom's deep defence reductions risk undermining its special status as one of NATO's most capable members," the report said. "The Cameron government must meet its pledge to renew defence investments and should consider deploying the second of the two newly-ordered Queen Elizabeth class aircraft carriers with NATO or the United States after 2018, if it cannot deploy it nationally......................"Moreover, Prime Minister Cameron's coalition government has yet to develop a coherent strategic vision for the United Kingdom's role in a changing global landscape. His coalition has downplayed the term 'special relationship' with the United States at the same time his government has weakened its ties to Europe. "…To be successful, NATO and the United States need a strong and self-confident United Kingdom. The key issue is whether the Cameron government will act to revive Britain's irreplaceable military capacity. The United Kingdom's future global role depends on it."<a href="http://www.defencemanagement.com/news_story.asp?id=19755">http://www.defencemanagement.com/news_story.asp?id=19755</a>(Insisto que en Inglés el verbo "must" expresa necesidad absoluta, sentido de obligación.)Quedó contrastado.De eso se trata, el informe es estadounidense (yo también soy americano, sudamericano, para más dato) y está diciendo lo que tienen que hacer los británicos:"In the 'Anchoring the alliance' report published by the Atlantic Council, R Nicholas Burns, a former US ambassador to NATO, called on the UK to either operate the second carrier or submit it for use by NATO or the United States."poner el segundo portaaviones clase Queen Elizabeth a disposición de la OTAN o de EEUU.Si vas a contar los miles de millones como billones la suma va a dar maravillosa.Lo lamento, porque las cosas son muy claras.Saludos</blockquote>
