"Britain and the US, close allies who are both victims of the debt crisis, will today agree to scale down their military capability and back away from the kind of armed intervention they have enthusiastically supported in recent decades."Curious that Hammond chooses to scale down military capability, rather than scale back on the number of wars we're in and are planning.
...
"Hammond will point to similarities in the US and UK economic situations. "Without strong economies and stable public finances it is impossible to build and sustain, in the long-term, the military capability required to project power and maintain defence," he is expected to tell the Atlantic Council thinktank. "That is why today the debt crisis should be considered the greatest strategic threat to the future security of our nations" -
He's using the debt crisis as a smokescreen; as the government passes more 'competences' to supra-national bodies like NATO, it diminishes ours.
That is the goal and that is why he lambasts EU members for not pulling their weight in recent and ongoing wars.
Quisling.

Fausty, NATO was handed over by Obama to The EU as part of it becoming the EU Armed Forces by stealth. Look at Libya.
He saves billions whilst The EU make USA sole major arms supplier. It also loses any National allegiances and becomes easy to use to suppress future inter European rebellions like The Arab spring uprisings. Our contribution will be Trident.
I wouldn't put it past them, OR.
