‘Prewar Generation’ Must Prepare to be Called up for ‘Citizen Army’ if West Fights Russia, Warns Top British General
Breitbart ^ | 01/24/2024 | OLIVER JJ LANE

Posted on 01/24/2024 9:43:39 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

The British Army needs to be prepared to “rapidly expand” to field a “citizen army”, its top general said, praising European states for bringing back conscription and saying “we must similarly prepare”.

We are now living in the “prewar generation” and it is time to take “preparatory steps to enable placing our societies on a war footing”, Chief of the General Staff General Sir Patrick Sanders told the International Armoured Vehicles Conference in Twickenham, England, on Wednesday morning. Limited elements of the speech were trailed in the Daily Telegraph in advance, characterising them as a warning that the public faces “call-up if we go to war, military chief warns”.

Die fighting White Russians, so a Paki can groom your sister and stab you when you return home.

The UK Defense Minister talks a big deal but with the Houthi attacks, they didn’t have the personnel to send the two UK aircraft carriers to the Red Sea; as a result, the UK pilots had to do a 3000 mile roundtrip bombing effort. Plus, the UK Army is smaller than its ever been (71,000) bc no white male in his right mind would enlist. So who is going to do all this fighting and with what, and about what??

Instead of Russia they should be concerned about the invasion of the third world into their society.

Sounds like they’re preparing for a draft. Good luck with that.

You’re half way there. Now you know why the WEF and related groups are pushing illegal immigration so hard. They will be the foot soldiers that the WEF conspirators use to attack the West. With even a modest amount of effort and luck, these same foot soldiers might be turned on their masters.

This is now some type of COORDINATED effort going on, as I can think of 5 countries in the past week or so that have said the same to their people.

The question is why, and about the only thing that I can come up with is that they’re trying to ‘scare Putin’, which is a joke as these same countries spent the past 2 years DISARMING THEMSELVES (by disposing of their weapons in Ukraine)...so will they be fighting with SHOVELS if called up? Answer: Only if they’re lucky.

We’ve got tens of thousands of cannon fodder on our college campuses. Let the dime store fake Pentagon DEI pimping generals lead them.

We’d be fighting on two fronts...against Russians and their 5th column, the democrats.

A few nukes and the population centers of England are gone.

This General is still fighting WWII.

Isn’t it enough of a contribution to put a Ukraine flag in your twitter profile?

That 3000 mile raid with single seat fighter bombers would be equivalent to the B-29s taking off on Tinian and making the round trip to Hiroshima in WWII.
It’s just a PR stunt that attests to British weakness. They have to send a small fighter bomber with a reduced load. They have no heavy bombers... none.
they have no allies within 1500 miles that let them take off and land. The Brits used to operate out of Oman, Egypt and other places.

Embarrassing for them I would imagine.

There are a bunch of fine, young military aged men who you already know can pilot a boat that I’m sure would be happy to enlist.
