Streeting: Britain Must Be Ready for War in 1000 Days
UK Telegraph ^ | October 24, 2026 | Sabrina Miller

Posted on 10/24/2026 4:58:48 PM PDT by Jim Noble

Wes Streeting has said Britain must be ready for war in 1,000 days as Russia intensifies its hybrid warfare against Nato.

The Defence Secretary warned that Britain’s enemies could be in a position to attack the country by 2030 and it must “be ready with our allies to fight and win”.

Writing in The Telegraph, Mr Streeting said: “My defining priority... is to make sure that this country is ready to fight and win a war.

“To prevent the worst, we have to prepare for it. In the first instance, that means expanding our capabilities so our adversaries think twice about attacking us. Should that fail, we must ensure that Britain is ready for war.”

I thought this was pretty funny.

The whole European project is reaching heights of fantasy I could never have imagined.

If I were British I’d worry less about the Russians and more about the Jihadi’s roaming their streets.

Stuff you can’t make up.

So ridiculous.

They’ll be a caliphate sooner than ready for war.

“My defining priority... is to make sure that this country is ready to fight and win a war."

But for God's sake, do not let your citizens have any of those awful guns.

I thought at first that Defence Secretary Wes Streeting was channeling Benny Hill.

Then I realized he was channeling George Orwell; blaming the external boogeyman so British subjects don't pay attention to the foreign invaders already in the kingdom.

Defence Secretary Wes Streeting isn't asking for 3 years of preparation, he's asking for 3 years of distraction until the foreign invasion of England is complete.

Well, I think their plan was Uncle Sucker doing the job if they keep chanting "Article V, Article V" like some kind of magic spell.

Well I hope you plan to send the migrants because native White British people will not fight for you. You have thoroughly discredited yourselves and they don’t trust you at all.

Orwellian deflection. Tell the people to ignore the raping savages arriving in the boats, we have to worry about the Russians who can barely manage a war Ukraine.

When you arrest people like Tommy Robinson, and then mollycoddle fanny pack wearing weasels, you can no longer defend yourselves. I doubt I will ever go back to Europe.

Most opponents don’t say: OK, we’re coming in 2030! Be ready!
