Note the messaging and politics in the statement. Consider that statement in light of the recruitment problems our US military is experiencing. The "regular Brits" need to become scared of a land invasion from Russia? Well, a little more than three years ago, another British professor modeled a "pandemic" death rate to scare those "regular Brits" and it worked. Though the forecasts were wildly wrong, the palpable fear was stoked, ans the result profitably for SOME, but not most "regular Brits." Repeat the messaging of late in Sweden and elsewhere, and the "nudging" towards being on a war footing -- like a medical emergency footing -- is being stirred up.
Which Freepers think an actual land invasion of Great Britain by Russia will occur?
On the other hand, which Freepers think a land invasion of Great Britain is ALREADY underway by economic migrants?
Interesting, that dear old professor can't see as far as Calais, but imagines the "red menace" a thousand miles away.
“We’ve always been at war with Eastasia, Winston.” - George Orwell, 1984
I am thinking GB is cocky and sure, cocksure, that they can handle anything that an enemy throws at them. After all, they survived Germany. roflmao. Without the US, they would have been wiped off the face of the Earth. Give them the firebombing that they laid on civilians in Germany towards the end of WW2 and they will surrender like the French.
People forget what real war feels and looks like. Most grew up in a blankie, wrapped in cotton, and fed to obesity.
Ask the Ukrainian people, who “strong they will stand”, as they leave the country in droves. War is not a recruitment video. Visit a VA hospital, and see how bad it is when you “Win”.
Whose stupid idea was it to build allied forces, who need each other to survive. Take out one, and you critically weaken the others.
My advice to MY country, is retrench and tell Europe to handle their own problems. We in the US are broke, and need to clean out the riff raff.
