Maggy's used to love quoting Helmudt Schmidt that: "USSR is Upper Volta(*) with missiles".

Just UK will be Liberia with missiles.

Or more likely Argentina - servicing the debt to build the new aircraft carriers, their aircraft wings, their escorts _AND_ the Trident replacement as well as the necessary support for that is pretty much guaranteed to bankrupt the country.
