Gruppo di attacco della portaerei britannica entra nel Pacifico

Our planes look really cute and friendly compared to USA planes. They look like chubby little sparrows. If I was being attacked by our planes they’d put a smile on my face.

Here a quick translation of PR-to-normal speech:

> This isn’t just about hard power;

*”This is just dick-swinging, but don’t complain about your tax money paying for it.”*

> The deployment aims to project British capability, reinforce international partnerships, and demonstrate integrated fighting readiness

*”I know this is a pitiful display, old chap, but we can’t muster anything better these days.”*

> The deployment sends a powerful message that the UK and its allies are committed to security and stability in the Indo-Pacific region

*”The deployment shows we can barely take care of ourselves, and in no circumstances should anyone in this area actually rely on our help for anything meaningful. But we’re always happy to join a party here or there.”*

> It’s a privilege to lead our sailors, marines, soldiers and aircrew as we demonstrate warfighting capability.

*”I’m sick of this sorry crew and I can’t wait to be back home”*

So you’re telling me we’re going to be going to war because of Donald trump.
