I just happen to think we are not the big catch that we once were and why would Putin come for us. We can’t nuke him back without asking the US, we do not need to start rearming and joining an EU army that’s ridiculous imo.Could be, but not will be?
Tell you what mate, you are not alone……unfortunately there are quite a few cowardly bastards like you on this threadI just happen to think we are not the big catch that we once were and why would Putin come for us. We can’t nuke him back without asking the US, we do not need to start rearming and joining an EU army that’s ridiculous imo.
Why though, can’t we now just be a peacemaker nation. Two world wars, the Iraq war, all too much for me. Let the warmongers give their taxes and children.We are not involved but I am more than happy to contribute some of my taxes to supply arms and help with intelligence like we are now.
Sweden and Norway are both members of NATO as such were they invaded by Russia they would be defended.The consequences are too bad, we don’t need to align ourselves with anyone, why can’t we be like Sweden, Norway, Switzerland etc, why are we so eager to go head first into conflicts.
There are also some who would do a lot of talking while sitting back and letting others fight their wars for them.Tell you what mate, you are not alone……unfortunately there are quite a few cowardly bastards like you on this thread
I didn’t say he would come for us; my question was framed much wider than that. Let’s just say Russia takes Ukraine, a country of 40 million people - what do you think the impact would be in terms of millions of refugees upon the rest of Europe, including the UK? And what do you think the associated economic impact of that would be?I just happen to think we are not the big catch that we once were and why would Putin come for us.

Have to disagree. We are a player in this war and walking away would be disastrous for us.Afraid so, yes. In this instance I think we should leave it up the EU.
Haha you’re right again mate….i suggest you read back some of your own messagesThere are also some who would do a lot of talking while sitting back and letting others fight their wars for them.
NoDon’t we need America’s permission to use our nukes, unlike France??
Why can't we use nukes without asking the US? We are dependent on them for maintenance but you think we press a button then they get a pop up saying "UK wants to launch nuke, allow, yes / no" ?I just happen to think we are not the big catch that we once were and why would Putin come for us.

I’ll bite, why would we need to ask the US to launch Trident?I just happen to think we are not the big catch that we once were and why would Putin come for us. We can’t nuke him back without asking the US, we do not need to start rearming and joining an EU army that’s ridiculous imo.
Afghanistan was due to Article 5 and what a shit show it turned out to be infact I don't know why it was used against a terror organisation but everyone answered to the USAs call, Iraq was an absolute disgrace, the US got their information of WMDs by torturing someone who obviously said anything to make it stop.Sweden and Norway are both members of NATO as such were they invaded by Russia they would be defended.
I agree we've always been too keen to get involved in the US's misadventures in the middle east and Afghanistan
I thought that was the deal, could be wrong.I’ll bite, why would we need to ask the US to launch Trident?
I stand corrected if that’s not the case.Why can't we use nukes without asking the US? We are dependent on them for maintenance but you think we press a button then they get a pop up saying "UK wants to launch nuke, allow, yes / no" ?
You are. UK deterrent is totally independent in its useI thought that was the deal, could be wrong.
He will also be treated with the utmost respectZelenskyy back in Number 10 at least with his dignity intact, unlike Trump and Vance the whole world watched the angry staged debacle. Let’s hope we can support Ukraine even more.
Do we have the codes? is trident like javelin that Trump said they supplied?You are. UK deterrent is totally independent in its use
Do we have the codes? is trident like javelin that Trump said they supplied?
I hope it's not like javelin given that we're launching them from submarines, and aiming at targets a bit bigger than a tank.Do we have the codes? is trident like javelin that Trump said they supplied?
