UK Army Commander Tells Troops to Prepare for a Land War in Europe
Breitbart ^ | 6-19-2022 | Peter Caddle

Posted on 06/19/2022 1:59:13 PM PDT by blam

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.

Please see 16, watch both recruiting videos, and ponder which culture is ready for the sacrifices that come with real war.

[Please note: real war does not consist of chasing sandal-clad goat-herders around with Predator drones, Hellfire missiles, and a handful of elite specops troops.]

Oooh! Oooh! Let me guess!

They’re not trying to recruit people that have fought America’s wars for our entire history - white men.

The Pentagon has a HUGE interest in this: our most influential hard-charging senior generals are lining up their next jobs with Lockheed, Raytheon, General Dynamics, Boeing, Northrop-Grumman etc.

And also their 6-figure $ide hustle$ as talking-head "contributor$" on the MIC-MSM.

Imagine that. Our own Army has put out the “NOT WANTED” sign for heterosexual white males. Who needs them? I mean, when did THEY every fight in our wars??

Just to make sure, our military also put out the “take the experimental mRNA poison jab or get out!” orders.

If Russia hits NATO, the war is instantly over. The question is if we can stop Russia from launching nukes. Either way, the war is over in an instant.

I hope they are preparing for attacks on their home countries not some border in Europe. These idiot Flag Officers are still fighting WWII.

Article five doesn’t go into effect unless an outside power (ie.. Russia) attacks a NATO Nation. But, not if Nato attacks first. If Turkey attacks Syria, and Syria hits Ankara, NATO need not join in the fight. Poland hits Russia and moves in to help Ukraine—and Russia nukes Warsaw—It would not be an article Five tripwire. Germany need not help, nor would France. This thing could get real bad, real fast.

“If Russia hits NATO, the war is instantly over.”

Are you smoking fentanyl-laced hopium? The biggest and best trained [by NATO!] military in Europe was Ukraine, January 2022. They have been cycling their troops through the Donbass low-intensity-war since 2014.

And now, since February, NATO countries have stripped their inventories of artillery, ATGMs etc to the bare bones to prop up Ukraine’s failing defense.

Put down the pipe, dude. You are delusional.

The only aggression was from the CIA/Soros criminal complex that executed the 2014 proxy coup.

The UK is free to get involved in a hot war with Russia as are any other nations in the EU. But keep us the hell out of it.

There was no aggression. The aggression was all on our end. We fomented a revolution in Ukraine. We installed a President that pandered to neo-Nazis and Ukrainian nationalists that sought to wipe out the ethnic Russian population. We armed Ukraine with offensive weapons and were running biolabs with deadly pathogens in them. We teased NATO membership for Ukraine. And, we encouraged Ukraine to ignore the Minsk Agreement, which would have ended the eight-year civil war, and would have prevented this war from occurring.

God damn warmonger, neocon freaks to hell.

The rest of use aren't tolerating us getting into a hot war with Russia, a sanction war that continues to increase inflation or continuing to dump billions of tax dollars into Ukraine. Does that register through your Russophobic skull?

The National Endowment for Democracy(https://www.ned.org/about/board-of-directors/)

The National Endowment for Democracy has supported democracy-building efforts in Ukraine since 1988. https://everipedia.org/wiki/lang_en/ukraine


In the 2000's, NDI worked with election monitoring organizations such as the Committee of Ukrainian Voters to provide financial and technical assistance to develop election monitoring capabilities. This monitoring played a salient role in popular uprising against electoral fraud during the Orange Revolution.[13]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Democratic_Institute#Ukraine

So NED, a den of dems, helped secure the Ukraine election. Laughable. "Most secure election ever?" That’s how you know Ukraine has been taken over. Ukraine had it’s Orange Revolution, run by these orgs and we’re going through the same thing. Since all the #Resist people, like Hillary, started wearing purple after Trump was elected and many wore purple at biden’s coronation, I’m calling it our Purple Revolution.


President and CEO Damon M. Wilson (born May 24, 1973) is an American foreign policy expert and the President and CEO of the National Endowment for Democracy,[1][2] an independent grant-making foundation supporting freedom and democracy around the world. From 2011 to 2021, he was the Executive Vice President at the Atlantic Council, a nonpartisan think tank focused on international cooperation.[3] A former civil servant, Wilson served as Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director for European Affairs at the National Security Council during the second term of President George W. Bush.[4][5]

For over twenty years, Wilson has helped shape U.S. strategy and national security policy in regards to NATO and US-European relations to advance freedom and security around the world. He is an advocate for strengthening democratic alliances to address security challenges, believing “US interests are best served when Washington and its allies act in unison.”[21]

From January 2004 to November 2006, as Director for Central, Eastern and Northern European Affairs at the National Security Council, Wilson coordinated U.S. interagency policy on Ukraine during the Orange Revolution,

From July 2001 to January 2004, Wilson served as Deputy Director of the Office of the NATO Secretary General, assisting Lord Robertson to transform the Alliance by enlarging NATO membership, implementing the International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan, and adapting Allied capabilities to face modern threats.[24] In this role, Wilson also supported NATO efforts to broker the Ohrid Agreement to avert civil war in Macedonia.[25][26]

Wilson completed a Master of Public Administration at Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs in 1998. During his studies, he interned in the African Affairs Directorate of the National Security Council led by Susan Rice. After graduation, Wilson was selected as a Presidential Management Fellow and assigned to the State Department’s NATO office, working for Ron Asmus, under the tenure of Secretary Madeleine Albright; his fellowship included tours on the China desk and to the U.S. Embassy in Beijing from 1998-2001.[19][20]

Wilson lives with his husband in Washington, D.C. and part-time in Charleston, SC. His mother, Mary Thornley, is President of Trident Technical College in Charleston, SC.[61]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damon_Wilson


Seems NGOs have taken over what the CIA used to do as far as regime change.


And Wilson's just one person in a web of inter-related NGOs that control our foreign policy. Imagine this organization of democrats "securing" the Ukraine elections. Just like they secured ours. Translation, they got their globalist NATO approved people installed.

In June 2021, Wilson was named as the President and Chief Executive Officer of the National Endowment for Democracy, succeeding Carl Gershman.[46] During his first few months, he managed the safe passage of 923 Afghan grantees, staff and their family members during the 2021 evacuation from Afghanistan following the withdrawal of U.S. troops.[47][48]

Isn't that rich. He helped get certain people out of Afghanistan. He's one busy dude.

More on Wilson here; https://thealtworld.com/anthony_cartalucci/the-neds-new-ceo-atlantic-council-warmonger-damon-wilson

In a 2018 Atlantic Council talk titled, “Frontlines of Freedom,” Wilson would admit:

…the strategy [of consolidating control over Eastern Europe] is not meant to create new dividing lines in Europe. The aim is to anchor a vulnerable, insecure zone in the certainty of a stable and prosperous and free Europe, and over the long time [sic] this vision includes a democratic Russia. But the pathway to reform in Moscow might just begin with choices that are made in Kiev, Chișinău, Yerevan, and Tbilisi.

Wilson reveals the goal of US policymakers and their involvement in both the EU and NATO is not only to move both organizations up to Russia’s borders, but to absorb Russia itself – a policy that couldn’t be more obvious to geopolitical observers and the clear driving force behind Western-Russian tensions today.


Now you know why some dems have mentioned regime change in Russia. That's what this is all about and they've been working at it for years. Does anyone think Russia/Putin doesn't know about this? Talk of Ukraine joining NATO and the UE. Finland and Sweden suddenly talking of joining NATO. The Prime Ministers of both are pro WEF, one a Young Global Leader, the other saying she agrees with a Great Reset. UN/WHO/NATO/WEF and all these NGOs are the NWO but I don't think Russia's on board with the whole NWO and losing their sovereignty.
