Is the Royal Navy in crisis?
https://www.navylookout.com/is-the-royal-navy-in-crisis/
“On 5th January The Times also reported that in an unprecedented move, the RN is advertising on LinkedIn for a new Rear Admiral – Director of Submarines. No suitable internal candidate is available to replace the incumbent, Rr Adml Simon Asquith.”
“There is a coherent argument that scrapping worn-out frigates that have become a money pit makes good sense. The retirement of HMS Monmouth and Montrose was perhaps justifiable on the proviso that a bare minimum number of ships could be kept going until replacements arrive. The loss of two more frigates would leave the RN with just 9 in commission (plus the 6 destroyers). Already on a knife-edge, at this point the credibility of the whole fleet becomes doubtful. Amphibious operations / littoral strike is one of the foundational tasks of the navy and the loss of the LPDs (landing platform docks) would leave this capability in a very fragile state”

From Rockets to Ball Bearings, Pentagon Struggles to Feed War Machine
Globalization, overcomplexity and lengthened supply chains are how the Houtis are able to disrupt western nations when they are a miniscule, low-tech force.
Things to think about:
Why is this in the media now?
This is a problem long in the making and one that would be obvious from the push to exclude white males. I posit that they have filled as many positions as possible with different demographics and are going to pivot ro fill the ones left with a push to “un-woke” recruitment. We are being told about this long running problem because the narrative is changing to address it. Token efforts to ‘fix’ this will not be “improvement,” merely pragmatic survival. They still loathe ethnic europeans.
Martial Culture is inherently Right Wing:
From “The Holy Mountain”
https://antipolitics.substack.com/p/the-holy-mountain
“Man in warfare needing a solid idea of what he is fighting for seems obvious, but in the post-war modern West increasingly devoid of family ties, modern militaries must create a culture for their soldiers in which these ties are still artificially kept alive. If you look at the belief structures of those within the U.S. military it is overwhelmingly Republican and Libertarian in nature—often reflecting marginally more traditional values than the population at large. However the highly controlled environment makes it prone to repeated expulsion should ideas that counter the current regime take hold as they did in the German special forces”
The Negative Spiral
40% of UK born children have one parent born outside the UK.
As Native Demographics collapse, the number & quality of those willing to fight for the UK decreases because they only see the UK as a waystation that pays them benefits.
The remaining native British do not see the UK as “theirs” anymore and do not wish to risk dying for it.
Targeting ex special forces as potential terrorists has created massive anger in the military community, as has the degradation of their working and housing conditions.
An Impossible Situation
You cannot have a native military who holds ultimate physical power in an anti-native nation.
You cannot build a functional military out of the dregs of other nations.
