The Uk navy is the most depleted since 1642.

If the US decides to stop funding NATO, where does that leave the Uk and Europe?
Especially against a possible landgrab by Russia, in the Eastern Countries of Europe. At some, maybe not too distant point.

And this assumes that the US doesnt help Russia.

We could be left in a quite precarious position.

Hopefully and prayerfully, things wont get to the worst case scenarios.

I see a microfying glass which says 80%?

That is all that I can see of what has been mentioned.

Thanks all.

I will ask someone here, when available.

My computer takes 15 mins to start up!
But other than that, I much prefer it to typing on a phone.

I gave mine a kick yesterday (not hard, I'm not that violent! But I was frustrated) and it did suddenly decide to find the website I needed.

I really couldn't work off a phone. Have you tried a Samsung tablet?

No.
That may be the best thing.

But I am a bit of a skinflint.
If something is working[just] I persevere.

That may be the best thing. if you mean giving it a kick - don't try this at home (as the saying goes).
