Still think this is China trying to degrade strategic ammo stocks prior to having a go at Taiwan. Europe and the US are involved in two proxy wars now. Their ability to react to a third against a much better equipped and trained enemy is questionable. XI Jinping is not getting any younger and reabsorbing Taiwan will give him a legacy equivalent to Mao (at least in his mind)

You seee what we are starting to see.
Ukraine faltered as tthey have no ammo.
Hunt leaves MOD funding alone
Where are tge orders for more shells? More Javelins etc
You cannit man your ships and retired front line Typhoon fighters
It is as if you dont see what’s happening!
Meanwhile the locals are buyimg up what they can find Korean Tanks & planes and ammo, Swedish Carl Gustav units.

And Trump is coming

Not sure the Elite’s population reduction really meant Nuclear Winter but still

The worrying thing about the Russian issue is that the orange wanker is going to get back in, and I wouldn’t put it past him if he withdrew the US from NATO.

Malthusian economics - we tried disease, that didn’t work. Now war, and failing that we will go for famine

Do we have a plan?
Yes.
Its irrelevant Mother in Law wont leave.

But read the European biased news, Hungary, Slovakia want surrender/peace.
Germany are a mess budgets are screwed, half of them want to become Sweden and pretend it will all go away when they stick their arses in the air & heads in sand. They banned overflights of aid in the early days!
Baltics would last a week, Dutch will send the fighters they havent sold.
It comes down to Macron & Poland because Farahe will be telling you its not your problem.
Not my problem tbh.
65 and broke. Can survive on our vegetable patch for a bit

The full story is much more interesting.

They moved back because they couldn’t find a house they could afford with decent conditions. So they moved back to Ukraine and found a cheaper but more dangerous spot.

Less of an indictment on Nottingham. More of an indictment on our society.

I’m not getting tha vibe from China. Yet. I think they’re far more interested in cementing their place as the economic super-power of the world, which they’ll do because they don’t have to follow the same rules.

When that moment comes, I’ve no doubt they might chance their arm. However, right now, I think that people are drawing superficial comparisons with Ukraine which are a bit premature.

We’re 23 years into the 21st century. I think this might be the first conflict that tells us how a 21st century war works between nations in a contest that is not completely one-sided.

If and when the Russians win, they’ll be the only country with that kind of experience. And they’re on a war footing. That’s why I think it’s very fucking sensible for Europeans to stop the sabre rattling. The Yanks can just fuck off back home. Europe is stuck with the Russians.

How are the British anti- hypersonic missile defence research teams doing?

It’s the same old story, isn’t it. A steady stream of migrants reaching these shores, only to leave again when they realise they can’t afford to support themselves here.

Sigh…

On Monday, the CNN national security analyst Jim Sciutto reported the views of former advisers who say Trump wants to be an authoritarian leader.

“He views himself as a big guy,” John Bolton, Trump’s third national security adviser, told Sciutto. “He likes dealing with other big guys, and big guys … get to put people in jail and you don’t have to ask anybody’s permission. He kind of likes that.”

I see your new Prime Minister is ramping up the rhetoric, saying Europe is in a pre war era reminiscent of 1939, and nobody is safe.
“The Russians are coming”, we’ve heard it all before, FFS give it a rest Tusk, as if Russia will invade Germany.
