Oh, 'Great' Britain: Twenty-Thousand Troops? We Only Have 25 Main Battle Tanks Working at Best

[Hollie]

The Ukies are going to be greatly disappointed if they think the Euro’s are going to defend their borders. Absent the Great Satan stepping in do what Euro NATO can’t do, the Euroweenies should just stop pretending they’re a fighting force.​

Oh, 'Great' Britain: Twenty-Thousand Troops? We Only Have 25 Main Battle Tanks Working at Best

When news that the UK would be at the front of the queue to provide troops for a Ukraine peacekeeping force, possibly as many as 20,000, a contact from army headquarters at Andover messaged me: “Where’s this 20,000-figure come from? Who’s briefing this? We couldn’t do this in a month of Sundays!”

The EU talks a big game but they don't have a unified, well trained and well equipped military.
450,000,000 people in the EU and they are living a life of leisure because the US is paying for their military protection.

 

[luiza]

The UK has had a force in Romania for some time in charge of of a nominal NATO force in "traing exercises".
More a potential holding force , imho , in case Moscow decides to cross the Dneiper and move toward Odessa ,

95% of the EU noise is bluster as they lack immediate funds and trained bodies in a worthwhile number .
Plus the "Euro Public's " indifferent to what is happening is high, and any country getting involved is likely to be acting against consensus choice -- politician's would be putting their jobs at risk which is what is never done among this scum class .

Britain is not the only European nation that has given away its weapons stock to Ukraine. Germany too, and probably the rest.

If Russia actually wanted to invade and conquer Europe it would be easy pickins

Lefties are good for writing checks that other people have to pay for. in blood.

Our state of perpetual war all 'round the globe in my lifetime shows that both lefties and righties, both sides of the aisle as they say, are war mongers.

That comes out to 800 troops per tank. They must be some pretty dang big tanks.

Righties at least tend to fund the military before the send them out.

But, yes, your point is somewhat valid.

BUT, the republicans voters rebelled against that, and voted for hte non-

or at least LESS INTEREVENTION guy.

Notably, the leftists never spoke a word about negotiating, or even an attempt at negotiating an end to the war. It was all about draining taxpayers of their money while depleting US arsenals of material.

I dunno man, the Russian military has not exactly distinguished themselves in Ukraine. But the EU military isn't all that impressive either, which is why they want us to protect them.

If the purpose of any legitimate military force is to defend the country and its citizens from foreign invaders and threats, then the Russian military has done an excellent job in destroying the Ukrainian Nazis and the "advisors" from NATO. I wish our military was able to do that, but all it does is the bidding of Israel in waging a Global War Of Terror.

Ahh, you're a better kind of person. Why don't you shut up and help those poor suckers, like the lady from above told you?

Lacking any defendable argument, you’re reduced to childish stomping and kicking your feet.

 

[Wild Bill Kelsoe]

And they're supposed to be out NATO partners? Our so-called partners obviously planned to let The United States do all the fucking work. No wonder they're so worried about Russia pushing west. There is more combat power in a rural county in Georgia than there is in the entire British army...lol

If we were to regress our footprint on the planet, we would control the Western Hemisphere at least. Add Australia and New Zealand once the Prog feminists were expunged along with common sense alliances and we would be living the life.
