I’m torn about Rishi proposing mandatory armed forces services or voluntary work at 18 since whilst it’s a terrible idea, it makes it certain the authoritarian prick will loose
Only good thing about him is that he supports Southampton. UP THE FUCKING SAINTS
mate, UK will be fine. Russia isn’t attempting to attack us or anyone else in europe apart from ukraine. If Russia were attempting to form the USSR they would’ve attacked weaker countries. I don’t want to do work in the military as I’m not interested or motivated to do it. If someone does invade the UK, than I would fight and I believe all male adults should be made to fight (unless they have an acceptable reason).
The argument of “other good countries do it so we should” doesn’t make the idea good. Norway is a great nation but having a 60% tax rate for some people is stupid, for example.
They don’t want to invade the UK but if Russia attacked other countries (Lithuania, Estonia, and Latvia are big targets for them) the UK would be required to respond.
Cool that doesn’t mean every person needs to fight
Why wouldn’t Russia invade the baltics first since they’re weaker than Ukraine?
They invaded Ukraine first because the Baltics are members of NATO, which they don’t want to mess with first
Fair but surely that means they won’t mess with nato countries (I don’t think that will change that much if trump is in charge of US)
Yeah Trump likes to talk a lot and not actually do anything
chamberlain is smiling in his grave. beware.
