I hope this Jewish ambulance thing doesn’t catch on and we suddenly start to see Protestant attacks on Catholic fire engines. Oh, that’s right, no other faith gets their own special fucking emergency service vehicles 🤦🏼‍♂️

@TheUCS473 @LeftySeparatist How can these people qualify for a vote. There should be an IQ test not an ID test.

@LeftySeparatist You are such a dick 😂

@iAnonPatriot No ear defenders?

The European mind cannot comprehend this.

@dumbocracy_news @Mylovanov Blimey. I know there are stupid people on here but this guy takes the biscuit. Look in a ‘national’ mirror to spot stupid wars.

Doesn’t matter. Ukraine has already lost over 1M men. The industrial capacity is destroyed, the population is a fraction of what it was. Ukraine is on life support and cannot provide for itself without welfare from the US/Europe. It will ultimately be a land locked country carved into a much smaller country. The fighting and dying will continue, but the war is already lost as predicted such a war would be by The Rand Corporation. “If only we had____” super weapon or more troops etc “we could win” is suicidal fantasy that is being exploited to your own detriment. You lost your best opportunities, to end this war and keep the land. You chose to die instead. Ukraine is like the compulsive gambler, who is always going to win big next time except you don’t. There is a fine line between bravery and stupidity. Sadly, Ukraine continues to choose stupidity,

Ukraine shot down 140,000 Russian missiles, drones and aircraft over 4 years — including 44,000 Shahed-type drones now hitting US bases in the Middle East. Ukraine sent 200 advisers to the Gulf. Trump's response: "The last person we need help from is Zelenskyy" — The Times. 1/

@MervynParry @Tush27J Yes, let’s fund 9 million ‘do nothing’ folk because that’s comfortable.

@Tush27J Anyway ‘Welfare not warfare’we have had enough of barbarism time for a peaceful change .

Tory MP Bernard Jenkins. About as useful as a lawnmower in the Sahara Desert. Here he is whining that our armed forces have been under resourced. I'm sorry, was it not the Tories that underinvested in defence across 14 yrs. Muppet. #BBCBreakfast #r4today

@TheUCS473 That’s enlightening and sad in equal measure. I recall those days well.

1/2 In 1985👇 1️⃣ Army was ~160000 strong. 55000 in BAOR. 2️⃣ TA strength was ~71000 with plans to enlarge to 86000 by 1990. 3️⃣ Warrior, Challenger and MLRS entering service with a new rifle (ok it was SA80A1). 4️⃣ Bagnall's doctrine was changing how the army would fight.

@zenstrategist @JakeWSimons Think he’s rather more highly respected than some critics.

@JakeWSimons I bet he's pushed a lot of paper clips in his life.

Listening to retired generals like this makes you realise why Britain is in such a terrible state!

@DefyTL @JakeWSimons @__jacker__ Just list the war objectives please. Regime change was never viable. What else?

Funny that he completely forgets the 40,000 people murdered by the Iranaian regime and offered no indication that freeing 90 milliom oppressed people where hundreds of thousands have been murdered or holding accountable the regime for doing so and that Trumps statement of "Dont worry help is on the way" to the Iranaian people is actually why the US went to war. In addition the secretary of state and vice president all stated categorically that Israel did not sway the US action and that the Iranain people are all very happy the US and Israel are trying to free them and that Saudi Arabia and the UAE and Qatar completely disagree with this plonka idiot about the threat if nuclear weapons Iran held over them. He seems to be rather emotional about his judgment.

@MtarfaL @JackElsom @gjb70 Guess they think endless benefit payments and net zero are more important.

@MtarfaL @JackElsom @gjb70 And the risk of having virtually zero military capability is worth taking ?

Starmer appears to admit for the first time that the Treasury and MoD are at loggerheads over the Defence Investment Plan. Asked how he is going to resolve the row between the two departments, the PM says: "Well, it is my job to resolve this..."

@ForcesNews 41% don’t know. Such is the lack of interest in defence.

The Royal Air Force comes out on top📈 ✈️22% say it's the UK's most important service 🪖21% back the British Army ⚓16% choose the Royal Navy All amid growing defence debates🔗⬇️ forcesnews.com/services/tri-s…

@DannyMcDai567 @darrenleckey You decide.

This will piss so many republicans off, but here I go. Isn't it great to see the British army and Irish army showing professional respect. 🇮🇪🇬🇧

@DannyMcDai567 @darrenleckey Much of the world uses English. Some better than others. It shows.

@AR15DCM @downhomesunset @defense_civil25 @PatrioticAmeri6 If you read properly, reflect on the 21st century comment. In case you are as thick as I believe you are, that’s after 2000. Keep going moron.

@PeterTCross @downhomesunset @defense_civil25 @PatrioticAmeri6 So which is it? Between 2000 and now, or between 1990 and 2021? Get your shit straight and stop changing the goal posts.

Every member of NATO refused the call to help the United States to restore freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. All of Them!!

@BenObeseJecty What rubbish from Reed. Embarrassing. Inaccurate. Waffle. No preparation in Gulf. USN shot the missile down, not us!

Steve Reed is lying his way through another media round. “We have systems and defences in place that keep the United Kingdom safe” HMS Duncan is the only asset we currently have capable of intercepting a ballistic missile. It’s already committed to deploying with the HMS Prince of Wales Carrier Strike Group on Operation Firecrest. We currently don’t have enough seaworthy Type 45s to fulfil our existing commitments, which includes the flagship role for the Standing NATO Maritime Group One, let alone defence of the UK mainland against hypothetical ballistic missile attack. “We will take necessary defensive action to protect British interests, British people or our allies across the region” No, we haven’t. We deployed HMS Dragon which has only just arrived in the Eastern Mediterranean. We haven’t intercepted a single missile and have intercepted a handful of the thousands of drone fired. Bahrain is one of our closest allies in the region. It has been repeatedly struck by missiles and drones for three weeks. There is no account of us having played any role in intercepting any of them, despite the C-SIPA agreement between us and the presence of the UK Naval Support Facility. “The UK has been taking down drones and missiles that have been fired around” We haven’t intercepted any missiles. The only capability that could is HMS Dragon, and that has been in transit. “Our assessment is that there was a missile launched at Diego Garcia, two I think….one failed and the other was intercepted, so that shows that our defensive capabilities are correct” An Iranian IRBM failing doesn’t show our defensive capabilities are correct; we got lucky. The other was intercepted, by a US-Navy SM-3 ballistic missile interceptor. Reed implies that this was by UK forces. Once again we were reliant upon the US. We appear entirely unwilling to hold Iran to account for attacking us. The Government is fudging its way through this conflict one indecisive step at a time, but gaslighting us into believing they’re in control of the situation is laughable.
