UK Chief of Defense Staff Air Chief Marshal Richard Knighton this week gave a stark warning during testimony before a House of Lords committee.

He also warned there was not enough resource funding for normal military activity in the coming months. This is a shocking indictment of the UK’s failure to properly invest in its defense and live up to its global role.
