Presidential Briefing: United Kingdom
Ok folks! Here's my attempts to get back into the groove of writing after my break:
Presidential Briefing: The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland
Introduction: Mr. President, as you obviously know, the United Kingdom is the most dangerous threat the United States faces today. With their unmitigated aggression in Afghanistan, Iran, Arabia, Iraq, Ethiopia, Turkey, Ireland and Thailand, John Bull has been an alarmingly belligerent bastard these past few years, and things only seem poised to get worse.
Politics: The dominant force in British politics is the English Nationalist (IngNat for short) and Tory alliance. This is best demonstrated with the close relationship between IngNat leader and Prime Minister George Orwell and First Lord of the Admiralty Winston Churchill. Out of all the Unitist movements, these IngNat freaks are by far the craziest. Picture an aristocratic KKK with the resources of the world's largest Empire. Until the IngNat poison is expelled from the British political system, the UK will continue to be a threat.
Economy: Orwell may be a bastard, but his warmongering streak is certainly good for employment. The British economy is recovering quite well from the Crash thanks to the conscription of thousands of young men into the armed forces, along with the revival of the arms industry and large public works. How long this can last is anyone's guess, but it has certainly boosted his popularity. However, the British war machine is a ravenous beast, and their aggression in the Middle East is in large part due to a craving for oil. If we can target key resources in a potential conflict, the British economy could collapse overnight.
Military: Britannia does still rule the waves, albeit not as securely as she used to. The Royal Navy is still the largest on Earth, with the good ol US of A in a somewhat close second place. Luckily for us, in the event of a total war our navy can expand much larger than the Royal Navy could ever hope. The Royal Air Force is a new invention, and something to look out for. We have yet to devise anything similar, which is a national security risk. The RAF is cool, collected, and experienced. More importantly, they are absolutely ruthless, and have accumulated truly staggering quantities of chemical weapons. Countering the RAF should be priority #1.
Racial Policies: Even by Unitist standards, British racial policies are.... extreme. The government has committed itself to ethnic cleansing where possible and exploitation where practical. So, in India for instance, things haven't gotten too much worse for the average Indian, due to the sheer numbers involved. In South Africa, Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Kenya, and Rhodesia, government encouraged ethnic violence has exploded, especially in South Africa and Ireland. Estimates of innocent casualties in these massacres reach into the tens of thousands. There are also ridiculous rumors circulating that Orwell's government has a "Final Plan" to deal with large swathes of the Empire's colored population via planned famine and starvation. However, no civilized people could be capable of such barbarity, could they?
Alliances: The British are currently the de facto leaders of an informal alliance of Unitist powers around the world. They are certainly the closest with the Japanese, who they view as "Asian Britons." The Brits also get on well enough with the Greeks, Serbians and Portuguese. The relationship with Spain is cordial, but not particularly close. The French and the British are having a bit of a tough time, as the two powers are jockeying for position in the Unitist world. More alarmingly, reports have indicated that the Russians and British have entered into secret dealings and pacts. If true, this means that the two most repressive regimes in the world have gone into cahoots. Given the amount of resources and people these two regimes control, even the specter of an alliance is terrifying. We can only hope that their competing ambitions drive them apart.
British Goals: The ultimate goal of the British is to restore their Empire to its 1914 borders, and seize more territory. It is currently believed that if the Brits got their way, the 1914 colonial territories would be restored, Germany would lose its African holdings, they would dominate the Middle East, regain their colonial territories in the Western Hemisphere, and possibly take a bite out of Argentina. Needless to say, this would be unacceptable.
Basic War Plan: A condensed vision of any potential conflict of Britain is simple to understand. Priority #1 would be removing Canada from the picture. The first stage of this would be eliminating any RAF assets in Canada. They are well within bombing range of Boston, New York, Chicago, and even Washington itself. After these assets were destroyed, an invasion of the country has to commence. If done correctly, Canada can be under American occupation in 6-8 months. Priority #2 is squeezing India. India is a massive source of labor and material for the British war machine. The Brits also have a deep emotional attachment to owning the subcontinent. Threatening British power there will be a great way to bog down resources that could be used elsewhere. Plus, in the event India breaks away, the Empire would be severely crippled. Priority #3 is strangling British trade. The Home Isles are densely populated and small. They depend on massive imports of food and other materials to survive. If these are eliminated, the British will be forced to sue for peace, or starve to death. While this might seem cruel, it is the easiest way to conclude a war quickly and easily.
