I'm a British patriot and I'd never shirk a fight. But as we edge closer to nuclear war, why ARE we stoking conflict in Ukraine rather than trying to achieve peace, asks PETER HITCHENS
Daily Mail ^ | 9/24/22 | PETER HITCHENS

What is Britain’s interest in Ukraine?

Why are we shovelling weapons and equipment into that country, despite the fact that our national budget is stretched to bursting and our own armed forces have for many years been starved of money, men and kit?

If we were a proper open society, surely this question would be asked all the time. But it is not.

So I am asking it now, as the Ukraine war threatens to ignite the whole of Europe and has already brought us closer to actual nuclear warfare than we have ever been.

“I’m a British patriot...”

Obviously not, if he doesn’t want WW3, instead he must be a Putin Puppet.

What is Britain’s interest in Ukraine? >>>>>>>>>

Bumpkiss.

Everyone is fighting Russia of Klaus Schwabs World Economic Forum and their New World Order.

And whats more, NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT IT. The Schwab supporting press is silent ion this truth.

NATO is no longer a self defence pact sine the NATO adventires in the Balkans and in Libya, a fact whichi has mover the insane Putin to invade Ukraiine. In other words, the Shwabbers of NATO created this war instead of avoiding it, and now it it is in danger of world destruction.The Geni is out of the bottle.

Thats fine with the NWO, they are now seizing the only opportunity they will have in history beccause populist political movements are going to end their horrid dominance of Europe and America.

If they are actually doing live fire practice, I'd recommend the "COVID Combat Ear Plugs" instead.

And removing the safety.

Are using the words of General Patton as a justification for war with Russia?

For the globalist elites, what greater great reset can there be than provoking WW3. I’m sure the ruling class would see this as the golden opportunity for them to consolidate their power and remake the world in their image; and with fewer of those pesky serfs cluttering the landscape.

One thing that is different between now and other escalating conflicts is that I no longer trust the media to report the actual news. That is sad, because they have lost their purpose and usefulness. We are witnessing the ‘debate’ between Russian influencers and Western influencers. Where is the truth? Shall we be destroyed because of lack of knowledge? Damn the Washington Post. Damn the New York Times. Damn the media in general.

Still wondering if there’s really a war over there...

Or if this is just the latest Deep State scam, a mutually agreed upon noisy occupation for the purpose of scamming hundreds of billions from the American public.

Because going for "peace" option means choosing dishonor. And here goes the quote dating from when Hitler annexed Czechoslovakia. "You were given the choice between war and dishonor. You chose dishonor and you will have war." Now guess who said that?
It is Ukraine now, then it will be Moldova, then Baltic states, then Poland.
After Poland, Brits will have to worry about more things then just high gas price.
You see any analogies?
