UK under ‘existential threat’ of ‘major’ war as British Army chief pushes for conscription
Vložit
- čas přidán 14. 08. 2024
- “State on state conflict in Europe in the 21st century which seemed inconceivable a few years ago now looks really quite possible.”
The call by General Sir Patrick Sanders for national military training of civilians has provoked people to “think the unthinkable” about the threat of a “major European war”, says former British army commander Charlie Herbert.

@@miklmiklmtrcycl6009 Why do the west want to expand it power to the east
Like the German in World War II
The result will not be pretty
I was born 2 years after WW2, and I have seen many other conflicts in my lifetime. I have also seen how badly all the different governments have treated our brave young men and women over that period who put their lives on the line. The present government, and I
suspect future governments treat the true BRITISH people with utter contempt. If they think todays and future generations will agree to be canon fodder, they are in for a big surprise, and I dont blame them one bit
Good on you, Colin. Totally agree.
Awful though it was, ww1 and ww2 led to a period of improved living standards and rights for the working class. We are however, seeing those improved standards and rights being eroded. Social housing, nhs, public transport, public services and utilities.
Now we have dog whistling regarding conscription due to our continued aiding a country we have no military alliance with, which is leading to increased tensions and the likelihood of the conflict spreading!
Future heroes need:
1. a decent wage
2, a land fit for them. IMO, neither is in place at his time!
I would urge the retiring army chief to review the and curtail all the m o d vanity projects to fund the increase in recruitment.
I was born during WW2 and served in the military on three campaigns. Your assertion is that our youth wouldn't defend their country - you might be right but the alternative would be to 'serve', without a choice, under the yoke of the unopposed invader.
Totally agree.
My Father fought in the second world War. I was born 70 years ago and there has never been n a year of my life when there wasn't a conflict or war if some sort in the world. My dad reckoned that wars were an essential part of culling the populations of the world. Imagine how many people would be here now if there hadn't been any wars. Britain has enjoyed peace more or less all my life ,there hasn't been a world conflict for 80 years. Something had to be done to get rid of a few people. Covid? I wondered about that. But, maybe it wasn't enough. So the big wigs are planting the thought of a world War are they?. That will trim the population once again......
If the government thinks the working class will lay down their lives again for a country that treats us like serfs, they've got a surprise coming.
It’s called conscription. What makes you think that as a peasant that you have any say in whether or not you will be trucked to the frontline? Getting a bit above yourself aren’t you?
A very big surprise

I joined in 1986 and served 23 years. From the moment I joined, they were talking about our accommodation. Yet my Terms of Service on balance consistently fell. If they have not fixed housing for an ever shrinking Armed Forces in 42 years, they clearly do not have the will to do so. It is just words. Our greatest asset is our soldiers. that is why they gave us all a pay cut (to be realised on promotion), reduced our pensions. Did away with our hospitals. etc etc etc.

I served from 1971 to 1995 in the Army. If I had my time again I would not join. I am a 68 year old white man who loved his country but the woke brigade can defend themselves and their friends from abroad. Most soldiers were from working class backgrounds seeking opportunity but thanks to poor political decisions, greedy lawyers and woke revision of our history what country is there left to defend. Any invading force would only have to treat the indigenous population decently and they would win. In my time the forces had bulk to counter losses from enemy action but when we got involved with Afghanistan and Iraq we bled our Army to death. Promises were always being made and promises were ALWAYS being broken. A country that can not control its borders is not a sovereign nation. I suspect this a red herring and is a precursor to a European Army!

Compared to the army I remember serving in back in the 1970`s, yes we are very weak and certainly undermanned.

British military intelligence in Iraq over the non-existent weapons of mass destruction and in Afganistan underestimating the capabilities of the Taliban told the politicians what they wanted to hear and were nowhere near as critical as hindsight suggests strongly they should have been. As Afganistan was an abject failure and Iraq was pointless why is there any reason to take any military views as though they are gospel. They are plainly not .The last 25 years has been a long string of failed expensive endeavors which we know about.

I sadly agree with you as a full-career ex-serviceman, both soldier and officer. The leadership of this country is weak and even when the general election takes place, there is no viable or credible alternative. Vladimir Putin is a strong leader who has rallied support from the population in a new wave of patriotism. Whilst the West is squabbling among themselves, he gets stronger. The combined strength of NATO in the proxy war has not resulted in holding back Russia, exposing multiple weaknesses.

Russia, North Korea, China and the Middled East have all been instigators of conflict and hostilities over the years. The West have responded to attacks i.e. 9/11 - Afghanistan. Iraq the big question mark of course. Otherwise the west involved in conflicts across the World i.e. Libya, bombing targeted Houthis areas in Yemen have been justified to name but a few. Maybe you need to turn this around and ask the Russians, North Koreans, Chinese and the Middle Eastern countries to behave themselves and then the West does not need to be on high alert.
Explain how we caused Putin to invade Ukraine
Well many boats have arrived on the coast already, a bit late now to be wanting the British people to fight. the UK is a broken country, conscription is not possible.
Uk should worry for the citizen who don't eat pork, instead of looking out of their frontiers.
So you mean Muslims and Jews then
@@davidharris4062 Yes, wasn't I clear enough?
The biggest treat to us living in the U.K. is due to government policies such as austerity, I.e. lack of investment in infrastructure, schools falling apart, NHS lack of funding, reduction in Police numbers & closing local Police stations etc etc.
You nailed it in one.
Austerity never existed, it's their way of making us worse off while grabbing as much back as they can and to justify all the cuts they have made.
Yes to all that apart from the reduction in policing. Police are here to protect the interests of the ruling class, not the rest of us.

she was more honest than any of these crooks
@@lukeambrose4333 You mean Maggie Thatcher, self-declared enemy of the British working people?
We can't be dragged into a war but we can follow the usa as usual against our own interests. How has that worked for Germany and Ukraine?
Threat from knife crime in streets,long wait in emergency, unable to see GP, huge energy prices ,
you're welcome
Too many people are clued up these days about who is Behind what etc. those days are long gone!!!!
This is what happens when we import people from certain countries
This is what happens when our governments want to distract us from their incompetence.
Well Switzerland has a citizen army and Switzerland has its own army of citizens and they are aggressively neutral.
Yes, but they have something most/all other European countries don't have: Pride and wealth.
Also that would mean trusting British citizens with guns again
@@a.a.7416that doesn't make them innocent. Second world war they acted as a fence for the Nazis stolen loot.
Totally different demographic, history and 'common sense' relationship of the public with firearms. Our government has been neutering the public for decades, good luck!
I don't think half of their country is on benefits
Our soldiers have spent too much time fighting other countries wars for them
Anyone 'Pro-Nato' is either severely deluded , or paid to be . It's a business .
Uk is broken ❤❤❤❤
I'm already risking life and limb on my commute to work walking down our streets
No more war ....ceasefire and peace now ...
Let's work together....
No to warmongers !!
Send in the migrants first
This is all manufactured news.
No it’s not. Stay stuck in ignorance. 😅
Yep !

As far as ignorance is concerned you could be an expert.@@kylebewley7790
Conscription didn't work when it ended in the early 1960s. Too expensive/ it didn't work and it was unpopular. It didn't work then and it won't work now
Correction: It's uneconomic in PEACETIME.
67 million people live in the uk, we have 72k army personnel and 170k police officers, good luck with that uk 😂
War with who? I wouldn't fight for the British establishment.
Only warmongers want war, so let them go to the front instead of staying in the rear where it's safe.
The politions kids get called first
Haha,send Sunak and all his immigrant pals.what Brit in their right mind would fight for them? They've totally destroyed this nation between them
I have nothing against Russia. Its the UK govt that is the problem.
Well I'd prefer a Russian leader than the idiots we have in Westminster so let the walk over commence. We've no army or Navy anyway.
MEANWHILE ?, EPSTIEN PRINCE ANDREW

You don't think global war is important for the news to talk about 😂😂

@andrewmacaulay9272 is your cap lock button stuck or something?
If Sanders think there's a war on the horizon, let him get his sons out to dig the trenches. No fear of that happening.
The government is afraid to play a piano in public.
I for one will NEVER fight for the country. What for?

If the UK wants to cut the number of economic male migrants then a simple way would be to enforce a minimum 5 years military service on legal migrants and 10 years on illegals.
Rome had the best idea, you could only vote if you have spent a minimum term in the army.😉
if they need soldiers ask immigrants to go,, they have more rights thna us.
And you think training them to use guns and have military training is a good idea?
@@adrianjohnson7920 UK currently uses Commonwealth recruits. Economic migrants would probably be turned off migrating to the UK if faced with compulsory long term military service.
Donald Trump would be an unpredictable ally, "to say the least": precisely how many wars did he start? How many attacks on foreign targets did Russia or China launch? This trope of Trump being a warmonger is tired and unthinking
We have lots of fighting age men clamouring to get here across the channel. They’ll be first to volunteer naturally as they love this country…..
they'll want their rubber boats back.
I served in all commissioned ranks from a second Lieutenant to a Major General. And during that time, I spent most of my time being a high-class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street, and for the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer for capitalism. Share this Quote General Smedley Butler
War is just a racket. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of people. Only a small inside group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few at the expense of the masses. Smedley Butler in his book WAR IS A RACKET!
Russia knows that they couldn't beat NATO in a conventional war. But having the largest nuclear arsenal in the world isn't a problem. A full scale war with Russia would involve nuclear exchanges. We're getting dragged back into the Cold War days, sabre rattling and all.
This was the point made by many analysts. In terms of conventional warfare, Russia is quite weak and certainly not capable against NATO or even the US on its own. What it does have: nukes and technology. It'll be a different kind of war and a very trying one.
Well you voted for it, asXXole.

Nato has been fighting russia in a proxy in Ukraine for over 2 years and is not winning, but its all right. Ukraine has lost over 500.000 men, and we haven't a great deal
Let’s see how many Muslims would agree to conscription
Why would anyone want to attack us? What on earth have we ever done to deserve that; I wonder.
We haven't. All answers lie within the government. Which lies.
What have the Ukrainian people done to Russia?
Nothing, however, the Ukraine was a member of the USSR until 1991 & as with all those in that union had Russian identity introduced into all aspects of life.In addition the area is known as the bread basket of Europe which means massive revenue.@@saba1030
Exactly, if Russia attacked the UK, it wouldn't be an attack on the people, they have the most accurate missiles in the world, goodbye Parliament and The House of Lords, lol@@MaboPete
@@MaboPete No, you get the government you voted for, so they do what they do in your name. What part of democracy are you tripping over, you voted them in as a nation, dig it. And yes, I don't vote in our "elections" so they don't do it in my name. Blaming the government you all chose what hypocrites.
For a tiny island nation, UK sure love em wars, never ending wars, so many billions poured into forever wars.
Every single wars post WW2, and you'd find U$UK at the heart of it.
Something is really wrong with this picture.
Who actually put it under threat ???
What threat? It's RUSSIA that is "under threat".
