Seeing how rapidly “the blitz spirit” vanished in Covid I’m going to say that’s a big fat no.

All NATO’s senior Generals, Field Marshals (mostly BRITISH forces) have been planning, supporting, training all Ukrainian forces and even in the Ukrainian soils to defeat Russian aggressions since the war began. But what have they achieved?? Nothing rather loosing territories and huge loss of Ukrainian forces. And the recent Russian attacks on Ukrainian soil were unimaginable and so aggressive for the past days, weeks and months. Chinese and North Korean leaders huge support to Russia make them more stronger and able to get huge arms and ammunition unexpectedly so higher than the west previously thoughts. The UK may use some words to prepare for war. BUT the British government well knew that if a war against Russian federation will end undoubtedly with huge devastation for UK for another 100 years. I suggest keep the word strong than in ACTION.

[SamuelBlack]

People aren't prepared if their wifi goes down

[BillFodder]

We are not prepared because the Tories have got rid of the military, anyway we don't need to be prepared we are never going to war because we don't have any military that could win. Argentina could invade the Falklands and we would not be able to muster enough ships planes and men to regain them. So sky the answer to your question is very simple we a ducked.

[mrclarkson]
