The UK’s top ‘other ranks’ soldier has said that British troops must be ready to fight Russia, and should prepare their families for the prospect of an “extended” deployment.
His advice comes after the UK’s new head of General Staff said that British forces must become capable of “defeating Russia in battle.”
Writing for the latest issue of the British Army’s ‘Soldier’ magazine, Carney said that “the Army is shaping itself to meet the threat from Russia,” and “will be ready, with the right equipment, to play our part in deterring a future war in Europe.”
This is the same British army that’s supposed to have enough ammunition to last… 2 weeks or so? I think it was, in a conventional conflict with a peer opponent. Yeah… somehow I don’t see you being capable of ‘defeating Russia in battle’.
And they won’t be able to defeat Russia with nukes either, as the government has long since signed away the UK’s independent nuclear deterrent to USonian control.
No you see, 2 weeks is what they’re supposed to have.
1 week is what’s on the papers.
3 days is what they actually have.
They won’t even need those bullets anyway. If things get to that point we’ll all be dieing in nuclear hellfire.
I’m not so sure about that. If Britian gets involved militarily, those making money from this war stand to make even more money. If Britain gets involved on a nuclear level, those making money from this was stand to make a lot less money.
Yeah, I dunno about that, man. With our here galaxy brain Russian generals and their strange sense of…fair play(?)…or whatever the fuck made them not open with missile-striking every barrack with sleeping warriors of Bandera, ever reluctantly widen the list of gear nomenclature involved, attack without numerical superiority…
P.S. Whatever though. Awoo is probably right - a conventional war between nuclear powers is unlikely.
> Hey it’s Uncle Sam. u need ammo? Cough up 💲💲💲
