Prospects are really worrying. Shrinking European economies and future massive recovery plans shouldn't undermine the modernization and expension of European armed forces initiated over the last few years. This crisis isn't making the world a better and safer place,in fact it's the contrary.

Although it will be hard to justify rising defence spendings when the public actually wants more spending going to healthcare,public services etc. Let's see how defence will be affected over the coming months.

This global crisis will be effecting all nations; if this situation isn't contained in the U.S., with California and other states re-closing and stimulus money running out and no intention of more funds -- we can see foreclosures and long-term economic damage soon ripple through different economies; countries will be forced to cut defense budgets.

UK need to drop all useless overseas base or deployment. Prince of Wales 2nd aircraft carrier is a massive waste of money. The money say can divert Into more important spending on aircraft or lifter.

Is France cutting its defence spending??

In Australia its the opposite it is now increased and PM announced the defence spending will be long term as it will amount to 270 Billion being spent to counter China until now that Australia realised that China has to be contained due to China moving into Australias turf which is Oceania.

That is not sustainable. Australia economy are shrinking and Australian are well known for welfare. You think you would want your benefit cut at expenses of Australia military growth?

thats what happens when u are a member of nato and America plus europe is there is to cover ur *** moreover Britain aint going to be involved in any war soon, but these cuts are very deep and will take alot off time to be filled. Also trump is not a fan of NATO and Russia is also getting aggressive so Britain must pay attention to its defence. This is what happens after decades of liberal brainwashing
