The British Army (if we are talking about 'boots on the ground' alone) can be Snugly fit into Wembley Stadium rather comfortably. This whole song & dance about an 'expeditionary force' into Russia is just that: A complete Farce & nothing more than mere song & dance.

Good old Boris optimism, right?

Thinking that when the Ukie collapse comes, the wildcard will be Poland.

They will be torn between continuing to kiss NATO's ass and their longstanding desire to grab Lvov/Lviv/Lemberg/Palookaville.

Have long been wondering whethre the Russians have included this factor in their own calculations.

And why not let the Poles take West 404? This would:

A. Save Russia from having to police Banderist-infested territory.

B. Probably throw yet another wrench into NATO "unity"; the Poles would call it peace-keeping or some such thing and the Americans would have no choice but to play along.

But who knows? Crazy times.

i recall hearing Col MacGregor saying something to the effect back a few months ago that if USA sent in its troops in Poland and Romania into Ukraine the Russians would decimate them. He said Russians are pretty pissef off with Americans and would love to get into it with the Americans and as a result Russians would decimate the Americans. As soon as foreign troops enter Ukraine Russia would attack them mercilessly and wipe them out. There is another thing. The war college had a few months ago a report in which it stated that if NATO went to war with Russia Americans should expect a daily casualty rate of 3500 and in 10 days 35000 Americans would be going back on a bodybag. They mentioned reinstalling the draft in order to supply the Army with body. That also means that if brave Britain went to war on its own against Russia in ten days they would lose half of their army. So i have strong doubts about this british proposal. The other thing is that maybe the Brits went to push Germany and Poland to send troops so they are talking about this.

An expeditionary force is like something out of a British Empire history book line of military talk. Don’t throw our British taxpayer money after a bad deal and be able to loose face gracefully

I don't vote...PERIOD. I will not be complicit with crimes against humanity. I only wish I had stopped voting earlier...like when I was first eligible to vote. But don't worry about me...I'm making my peace with God, so I'm saving my soul. When I get that straight, I'll work on yours.
