Fight Russia with what? They admitted themselves they have ammo supplies for 3 weeks of war.
Further, fight over what? The UK and Russia are nuclear armed powers. They will be fighting over an empty, hollow, and nuclear scorched world with nothing left to fight over except basic survival.
For what indeed. Why would I ever fight for a country that fails to guarantee basic human rights and necessities for so many of its citizens? It's near impossible to buy a decent house, find affordable healthcare and stuff. Why would I ever want to fight for that?
Memes. Didn't you hear that the brave NAFO soldiers have brought Putin to his knees? Alongside General Pavlou they will know no defeat.
Royal Navy is currently probably the weakest it (comparably) was in the last 500 years. Those carriers were colossal mistakes.
Yeah, UK navy is a complete mess and the rest of the military isn't doing much better. UK has a recruitment crisis and whatever industrial production remained is collapsing. It's kind of funny that UK is doing some of the biggest sabre rattling in Europe given all this.
Their current leaders, like those in Germany, aren't happy that they've not yet given away all their sovereignty to the US. The sooner they can start a war and give a reason for the US to double it's forces in these countries, the better. That way, the yanks will be prepared to gun down the protestors when the riots start.
Pretty much, they're imperial administrators as opposed to actual leaders. They just want to follow orders and do what the empire tells them to.
There's also a secondary (or more like- primary) motive, shared from across the US to all the other petty imperial cores- this is some of the best war spending (ie. corporate welfare at the peoples' expense) they've had in a fair while. If it were just about empire, self-preservation would kick in, but the one thing they all consistently are, moreso than imperialist, is short-sightedly greedy and corrupt. All these parties are helping themselves to some of the biggest public thefts in history while pretending there's even a single patriotic or humanistic bone in their bodies combined.
For sure, war industry has become a clever racket for siphoning taxes out of the system and putting them back in the hands of the oligarchs. They scare people with whatever threat de jour they can come up with, and then use it to justify austerity because we need more military spending or the baddies will get us.
One of the carriers is still up on proverbial cinder blocks because it was stripped for parts for the other carrier right?
Also they're trying to recruit an admiral for the submarine force on linked in.
Deeply unserious military.
They should ask Polish navy for admiral, we have more of them than ships, and that especially include submarines, because Poland recently lost all of them, of 5, 4 rotten to the point they are unable to leave port and last one (Kilo class which makes it the most battleworthy ship in entire Polish navy) had a heavy fire during the repairs and it's not a big secret it's unoperable and probably will never be again.
They're getting the people ready to fight a war with sticks and stones. For the wreckage.
Yes please, sign me up, I can be trusted with L109A1 HE Fragmentation Grenades next to the officers' tent
Lol, so every living soul in the UK must be ready to fight Russia in the future...but also they aren't planning on a conscription. Yeah sounds like they weren't expecting the backlash. Society has evolved beyond conscription.
Rishi Sunak’s spokesperson said the prime minister did not agree with comments made by Gen Sir Patrick Sanders in a speech on Wednesday, and was forced to insist there would be no return to national service, which was abolished in 1960.
“Hypothetical scenarios” involving possible future wars was “not helpful”, the No 10 spokesperson added, as the row opened up a rift between the Conservatives and the military at a time when cuts mean the army is at its smallest for more than 300 years.
