The British Army must increase troop numbers for the first time in a generation to combat the growing threat from rivals such as Russia, Sir Keir Starmer has been told.

      Russia is simultaneously about to collapse from Ukrainians marching on Moscow but also definitely going to cross several countries in Europe and launch a naval attack on the UK.

          Yeah, multiple melts I know have now 180’d and want the war to go on forever again after gradually coming round to realising it was mostly a pointless slaughter, literal goldfish memories.

      Yes, they’re convinced that the Russians are going to be landing in Dover any minute now. It’s wild, but that’s what literally decades of war propaganda does to the brain.

      Well I’m not sure the British could take on a non military but well equipped entity like DHL, but that won’t exactly inspire people to join up will it?

      I’m sure that Russians are shaking in their boots when they hear threats from a small, deindustrialized island nation with a collapsing economy.

    Better start taking in those free-loading pensioners

    If they can march to the welfare office, they can clear a minefield!

      Python like skit of pushing pensioners in wheel chairs equiped with dangling chains to clear minefield.

    Thinking of those “man on the street” interviews with pro-Ukraine demonstrators in the UK where every single military aged male who said that Ukraine should keep fighting also said they weren’t interested in joining the fight themselves

    Ukraine should just use the “replace government with puppet” diplomatic actions on Romania and Moldova, and then use the “create army from puppet” ability. Bam! Instant free manpower. SMH, it’s like these guys have no idea how war works.
