What are the Brits thinking?
I can think of no faster way to kill NATO and a lot of other joint US/UK military ventures than for them to start selling arms to China. While China is not currently an enemy, they certainly are not a friend, and you just don't give a potential enemy the means for defeating you. Particularly when the potential enemy has a long standing habit of selling technology to countries that are open enemies (like Iran and North Korea).
Looking at how fast and loose our closest allies play with technology, sometimes I wonder if I'm living in a bad Civilization game.
