Well, I have never known of Russia attacking the Brits. But since at least the 1850s, Brits have constantly attacked, prodded, overflew, and pushed for internal turmoil in Russia. Brits did it whether Russia was a monarchy, communist, a republic, whatever.

Brits just cannot accept that the empire is gone.

So yeah, Brits really don’t need much more than a coast guard and a national guard.
By the way, the Russian Army was down to 10% of it’s Soviet Fulda Gap days when the war started. It’s a farce to think they were on some world conquest track.
This war was forced upon them.

The messaging is following the pattern of Covid. Obama defunded hypervirilization in the us as too dangerous in 2014 .. fast forward to fauci n Trump saying word for word what every western country was saying .. almost daily.

Looks like a female was backing into a parking space. And it damaged the other fiberglass and plastic ship it backed into.

Unreal LOL.

One thing for sure in the UK, it wasn’t a British guy in charge of that ship, as there very few of them left and hardly any of them want anything to do with that military.

Bingo

Something is being prepared and coordinated
Strange we haven’t heard it here…yet…while European civilians are being told to get ready for an inevitable war with Russia

You hit the nail straight on. It’s always refreshing to see some one with common sense

Here’s a thought, how about we mind our own business and stay out European wars? You know,it might just work.

Is it just me, or does the world seem Tolkien-esque now. The power of the West in decline, facing a menace from theEast and able to muster only a fraction of its former strength. I don’t see a king returning anytime soon, however.

To constantly push a narrative that war is inevitable will only lead to war. WWI was like this and totally avoidable. NATO was established to keep the peace and not to rattle cages and beat war drums. The Russian “threat” is a excuse to fuel the war machine deepstate ambitions.

The generation that went to fight the Japs and Germans did it for love of their country and culture. They were patriots. The rising generation today has been told over and over that America is crap and her culture is diseased. Anyone think they’ll fight and risk being slaughtered for that?

Not sure there would be much difference than Napoleon and that Austrian painter.

I know there’s strong willed teens but most I see in my area are kinda limp wristed.

These fools think they are in England of 1914, when they’re actually operating in a scenario closer to Russia of 1916

Go ahead with your “call up,” fake patriotic BS, and mobilization Gen. Sanders - and see what happens.

Your own government is a far larger threat to you. Russia can’t even beat Ukraine but it’s going to come invade America? Come ON, it’s a third world country far away. They arent going to nuke anyone inless forced into a corner.

It is AMERICANS talking about nuking Russia! Like you. Worry about the fascist U.S. government not Mad Vlad. He isnt interested in you; the fags and anti-Western and DEI types ARE coming for you. Not Russia.

“This war was forced upon them.”

Yup, they just HAD to invade Ukraine and then loot the place, rape women and children, and kidnap children and abduct them to Ruzzia and Belaruzzia.

And back eighty years ago the Nazis were forced to invade Ruzzia, right?
