UK facing a crisis in defense spending

UK Chief of Defense Staff Air Chief Marshal Richard Knighton this week gave a stark warning during testimony before a House of Lords committee. Knighton said the armed forces would have to “dial back” day-to-day training, exercises and operations unless the Treasury provided more cash. 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.
