The Defence Secretary is set to pledge to send 20,000 British military personnel to a major Nato exercise in eastern Europe as he warns the post-Cold War “peace dividend” is at an end.
Grant Shapps will warn that “battle lines are being redrawn” as he announces the deployment of Army, Navy and RAF members to the drill on Russia’s borders in a speech in London.
It will be the largest deployment of British land forces to Nato since the height of the Cold War in 1984, a year before Mikhail Gorbachev became Soviet leader.

And I think some believe the world has to be divided among two great powers China and the US Russia stands in the way of that.
It’s legal. In fact, it is more legal than us in Syria, bombing Serbia and Libya in two individual ways. The DPR and LPR declared independence. Russia recognized them and responded to a request for assistance. Very legal.
And second, the Kiev coup government started conducting ethnic cleansing of Russian speakers and started attacking their cities with artillery.
Any UN member nation is free to intervene to stop genocidal activity.
Russia is doing exactly what we are doing on behalf of Kurds in Syria, helping them breakaway from Assad. It’s exactly what we did in Kosovo.
So quit saying “illegal”. It makes you look stupid, or of Canadian/Ukrainian. But I repeat muself.
You have it ass backwards. NATO and their Nazi formations were determined to finish ethnic cleansing and to grab control of eastern Ukraine and Crimea after the coup in Kiev in 2014.
Putin learned the lesson of appeasement in Munich and realized only military action would stop things. So he rolled after finally understanding that the DC/London/Kiev Reich was simply beyond diplomacy.
You’re right. The British would be lucky to field two combat divisions and an armored brigade.
The Brits have exhausted their 155 ammo. They have less than a weeks supply at the rates fired in Ukraine.
It’s amazing how far they have fallen. Unfortunately, we seem to want to follow.
“Will the UK have any troops left to defend their homeland, or will they be stuck with screeching police-woman with their Billy Clubs trying to fight off Putin’s invasion?”
Are you suggesting putin will invade the UK?
Canada has been arming neo-Nazis in Ukraine for decades. Canada bombed Libya back to the stone age. Canada undermines democracy in Haiti. Canada supports coup regimes in Latin America that oppress indigenous people. And now Canada supports genocide in Gaza. pic.twitter.com/S3qeJeN4uh— 🅰pocalypsis 🅰pocalypseos 🇷🇺 🇨🇳 🅉 (@apocalypseos) January 12, 2024
Forever and a day, may it be so!
By the time the feckless Brit poofters realize what's going on, it'll be too late...
That’s insanity and just asking to be annihilated.
We’re certainly on that path. Our once superiority in technology is gone, etc.
The western governments are all in deep trouble economically, and when things are bad enough internally to be a threat to the establishment, war is a strategy often used to maintain their control. Beware of false flag operations.
“genocide in Gaza” ??
wth are you babbling about now?
“Are you suggesting putin will invade the UK?”
He won’t, but given the UK’s behavior, he certainly has that option per International Law.
Where is that noob that complains about us posting pics?
😜
(begging for WW3)
Push out a few trip wires / hope for a Gulf of Tonkin-style “incident’?
