If the UK suddenly found itself at war, would you know what to do? Do you know what would be expected of you?

The UK’s most senior soldier has sounded the alarm. The Chief of the Defence Staff Sir Richard Knighton this week said the threat from Russia meant Britain was living through the “most dangerous” period of his 35-year career in the armed forces.

Aye, the Richard Knighton that uses ChatGPT, CoPilot and gambling websites to determine his views?

Forgive me if I’m not too worried about the supposed Russian threat. The threat that has been spun and beaten since the early to mid 1900s.

If Russia were such a threat why do we keep reading that they’re emptying prisons, changing recruitment ages, and near economic collapse to sustain their conscription and invasion of Ukraine?

The UK is in NATO and European defense agreements. This chief of defense is naught but a war hawk drumming up fear in order to gain money and/or power for him and his military industry mates.

  Yep. They can barely make any progress against a country they share a huge land border with. How the hell would they launch a serious campaign against the UK? I really struggle to take it seriously.
  
  Russia’s a bigger threat in terms of espionage and sabotage to the UK and Europe.

As a Canadian, I would come to the aid of my British brethren ♡
