Putting UK troops in Ukraine, and the slaughter they will face, will only speed the collapse of the UK lib-lab-con uniparty regime

If the Brits want to see their citizens die in Ukraine, fine. But don't expect any help from us.

Yep, and won’t even slow the Russians down at this point. What’s left of the Ukrainian army is at least battle-hardened. Sending the tiny UK army, apart from the handful of elite SAS types, will just be a slaughter of innocents more suited to “peace-keeping.”

Boris Johnson stopped the peace deal that had teeth, now Starmer is willing to anything to keep the warongering going. Sad!

Brits need to revive the press gangs of the 1700’s.
Conscript the illegals - send em to the Ukraine

Britain may do what Britain wishes to do. What business is that of ours?

That’s not what I’m reading elsewhere. The Brits do NOT want to go to war... Or peace keeping in Ukraine. I guess their polls are as “accurate” as ours are.

Is this true? Or just a made up story by the Daily Mail?
But I suppose it could be true, and the result of non stop brainwashing by the UK press (and the censorship of alternative viewpoints).

It shows the British MSM is still as powerful as always and this is what happens when you do not have s first amendment. This is just breathtakingly stupid.0

“Putting UK troops in Ukraine, and the slaughter they will face...”

Why would peacekeeping troops — after a brokered deal takes effect — be expected to face slaughter?

Considering that they throw people in jail who oppose escalation of the Ukraine War, I’d say 58% support is on the low side.

It’s hard to know if this “poll” is reality-based, or, like much of British “news reporting,” propaganda directly from MI-6. If the Brits really want take on the Russkies and their various mercenary proxies with “boots on the ground,’ they’re really stupid. Did they learn nothing from their massive losses of life in WWs 1 & 2?

“Half of Britons back sending British troops to Ukraine, poll reveals - after Keir Starmer says it’s time to put boots on the ground”

the british army has only about 75,000 regular forces ... i don’t think the brits being polled have any idea what a puny force that is ... they still act like they believe they have a world empire like they did two hundreds years ago ..

It's pure fantasy. Russia has already said there will be no NATO/Western troops in Ukraine, "peacekeepers" or otherwise.

Is Starmer just going for cheap and easy PR points?
