Honestly I’ve taken to mentally replacing half of news articles with just the words “BE AFRAID!!!” in big letters
What is this guy expecting? That Russia’s gonna blaze through the European Plain and then cross the channel? That Russia’s gonna send its navy over Norway and surround Northern Ireland to make sure we stay in the Star Trek timeline?
Never said the ground war was going to be in Britain.
This has strong hints of “have to defend our freedoms by going and fighting a ground war in eastern europe”
Tbh yeah
They think Russia is going to take the Balkans and Northern Europe, according to their propaganda.
I hear “Russia is going to take Northern Europe” and my mind gets kinda lost in an elaborate fantasy where the Soviets got further south than Finnmark, and I start to feel a little funny tbh
Re: be afraid, that’s what the fnords are for. You’re describing the experience of seeing the fnords.
Check my comment history and you’ll see me arguing with A LOT of people who think Russia really plans on invading all of Europe and conquering the world in a new Mongol Khanate or something… So yeah…
How are we still doing this fear mongering? Russia never seemed particularly interested in a broader war, and given how the Ukraine war went down probably wouldn’t want a war with NATO countries. Even with resourcing issues in NATO it would be a pyrrhic victory at best.
I’d say proxy wars with Russia are likely, but those never stopped, Russia had maintained a sphere of influence and indirectly fought western backed forces throughout 90s and 00s, so pretending that is some new threat is just dumb. Also, UK citizen armies isn’t what would fight those anyway
Because it is a distraction from domestic issues. They will screech louder and louder about Russia invading ANY DAY NOW! in order to make sure anyone who notices how shit everything is getting is drowned out in a sea of hysteria and racism.
We’re really going to blow each other to bits while the world melts instead of doing something the least bit constructive, aren’t we?
When everyone in power thinks the solution is to kill as many poor people as possible as quickly as possible, it starts looking like a great time to also steal some land and resources while doing so
Israel’s citizen army is doing super well against guys in sandals and t-shirts, this makes sense
Lol whoops sorry should have made a country people are willing to fight for
Because conscripts are working out so well against Russia(n artillery) recently.

“Eh wot m8 it’s me shittiest battle roifful, it’s bleedin’ bull pup, jelly me eels n banger me mash!”
How are they supposed to defend anything when they can’t even have cool mall ninja swords?
It is every citizens duty to defend the homeland, now everyone gets to support the arms industryshowcase their patriotismCivilian military but brown people
Civilian military but westerners
UK a dingle-berry of a country.
It’s not a World War until Germany has boots on the ground. Otherwise it’s sparkling strife.
Yeah, I’d rather die not fighting for this shithole of a government. I’d rather die not wanting to kill our fellow proles. I’d rather die not wanting to kill men, women and children.
Fuck the Tories. I’d rather fight against the ruling class here than fight overseas killing innocent people.
and fuck labour too
