The incoming commander of the British Army has reportedly told his troops to prepare to fight a land war in Europe, citing Russia as a significant threat to peace.
General Sir Patrick Sanders, the British Army’s newly appointed overall commander, is said to have told his troops to prepare for potential deployment in Europe in order to counter the threat of Russia.
According to a report by the Daily Mail, General Sanders — who only assumed full command of the UK’s army last week — told his troops that they are now facing the possibility of having to fight a war on the European continent, an eventuality that they now have to be prepared for.
“I am the first Chief of the General Staff since 1941 to take command of the Army in the shadow of a land war in Europe involving a continental power,” the senior army officer reportedly wrote.
“Russia’s invasion of Ukraine underlines our core purpose – to protect the UK by being ready to fight and win wars on land,” he continued. “It is my singular duty to make our Army as lethal and effective as it can be.”
“We are the generation that must prepare the Army to fight in Europe once again,” Sanders is also reported as saying. “There is now a burning imperative to forge an army capable of fighting alongside our allies and defeating Russia in battle.”

The incoming commander’s comments come as leaders across the Western world steady themselves and their nations for what now looks like it could be a long war, with the chief of NATO telling German publication Bild that the current conflict in Ukraine could last years.

I remember when I was 10 and thought saying such things was funny.
We are *so* screwed.

Up to 1,000 Ukrainian soldiers are being killed or wounded each day in the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine, with 200 to 500 killed on average and many more wounded, a top Ukrainian official said on Wednesday.

The Russian Defense Ministry announced, on Sunday, that more than 50 Ukrainian generals and officers were killed in a strike on a command center in the Ukrainian Dnipropetrovsk region.
If you disagree with all that, you are a liberal.
The truth always works and is working in this case.
The American people aren't going to tolerate us getting involved in a hot war with Russia. We will not tolerate billions of dollars being wasted on Ukraine. And, we will not tolerate a sanction war that results in an increase in inflation.
“This isn’t the 1940’s British.
No, it isn’t. The Brits got their asses chased off the European continent in about six weeks in 1940 and while they did have some major success in WW2 they had quite a number of major screw ups.
Operation Market-Garden comes to mind.
No one is talking about getting in a hot war with Russia.
America has tolerated trillions being wasted.
Money to Ukraine is not a waste.
And there is no justification for Russian aggression in Ukraine.
According to you, the war was over months ago.
But it is not.
In part because Russias military sucks.
“Count the foreign adventures of the other powers, and Russia is not really aggressive.”
You’re joking, right? Historically, few nations have expanded as much as Russia. From the 16th century to the end of the 19th century Russia moved against and conquered its neighbors such that the territory of Russia expanded by OVER 1,000%! Think of that: Russia went from a country stuck between the Urals in the east and the Dnieper in the west and increased itself TEN-FOLD! Then, of course, the USSR subdued and colonized Eastern Europe until the break-up of the USSR in the early 1990s. Not to mention its adventures in Africa, South America, Asia. etc.
You can try and whitewash your country’s history, tovarisch, but facts are stubborn things.
You're lying.
What I've predict will come to pass -- Russia will control all of Eastern Ukraine and the entire Black Sea coastline.
But, if we keep threatening insurgencies, the Russians will take every, single inch of the country.
Shall i repost some of your ridiculous statements?

“Encircled and about to die if they don’t surrender in eastern Ukraine. That you don’t know that means you nothing about what is actually other than propaganda you’re getting. It’s likely all going down next week.”
Who is the liar here? YOU ARE, YOU DISGUSTING NEO-NAZI, NEOCON, RUSSOPHOBIC PIECE OF TRASH.
I didn't make the prediction. I specifically said what other analysts were claiming.
How dishonest can you be to claim I was the one that made that prediction?
That, you blithering idiot, IS ABSOLUTELY TRUE. Ukrainian soldiers, by the admission of Ukrainian officials, in Donbass have been dying at the rates of 200 to 500 PER DAY. Read and it and weep, lying neocon SOB:

You are one of biggest fools here if you don't realize the Ukrainian military is being destroyed all in a feckless attempt by the Biden regime and globalist to harm Russia.
The blood of Ukrainians is dripping from the hands of those conducting this proxy war and fools like you that support this insanity.
The long the war goes, the more Ukrainians that will die and less that will be left of Ukraine.
“That, you blithering idiot, IS ABSOLUTELY TRUE. Ukrainian soldiers, by the admission of Ukrainian officials, in Donbass have been dying at the rates of 200 to 500 PER DAY. Read and it and weep, lying neocon SOB:”
Sorry they are NOT surrounded and cut off since April....Losing troops is notbeing “surronded” your the idiot.
And remember, it was all going to be over by end of April!!! LOL!
“I didn’t make the prediction. I specifically said what other analysts were claiming.”
You wouldnt repeat it if you didnt believe it....
“YOU DISGUSTING NEO-NAZI, NEOCON, RUSSOPHOBIC PIECE OF TRASH.”
Oh dear, someones puty panties are in a knot!
It’d be a real shame if Moscow nuked Berlin or London.
Might as well “get it on” for real.
Biden is just along for the ride.
The Pentagon exists and lives to prosecute war. The hotter the prosepects, the more red hot excitement and exhilarating for them and the defense industry.
And thinking on it, Biden and his masters would welcome the distraction. Common enemy, he can be a real uniter in that framework.
You can throw out the rules. The current governments all over the world just act in the moment.
“The blood of Ukrainians is dripping from the hands of those conducting this proxy war and fools like you that support this insanity.”
I think your loveboy Putin is the one with bloody hands since he is the one who invaded. BTW, My support means nothing. So why dont you shake your fist at your boy kisser buddy Putin.
