Also, I'd say Britain has a good bit of force projection beyond what you would expect. Air force aside, a country's navy remains the true indicator of their strength and force projection. And carriers are the heart and soul of the modern navy, though submarines are increasingly important.
Well the issue was the choice of words "worldwide force projection". Russia can in their own region, but could not act on something in South America.
Britain does in fact have some worldwide capabilities, as does France to an extent, but that is usually only on the multi-national level.
