Well I never…

No I wouldn't be happy to fight in Ukraine

But I'm not a soldier either

Not to sound callous, but those young British men (and women) have chosen that career and have chosen it knowing the risks it brings with it

If you join the army and don't expect to ever fight in a war then you shouldn't be in the army

No one is talking about conscription for this. Yet

If we go to war with Russia it's a case of when not if when it comes to conscription.

All the chat about how we've armed the Ukraine to the teeth and already their government is calling it's people to form civilian resistance and make Molotov cocktails...

I can picture it now : a poster depicting Johnson pointing a figure at you, with the tag line, 'Your cu** needs you.'

In which case I'll get conscripted and I'll get killed, clearly

I have none of the physical capabilities or moral fibre it takes to fight in the army

I'd be the first one down, and I make no bones about it

Of course I don't want that to happen, and I'll be terrified when my time comes

Appeasement doesn't work though, and never has. We let Russia have Ukraine then they'll just keep taking and taking until war is inevitable regardless

Maybe if we get in there now and nip this in the bud then it doesn't get to that stage?

Based on their approach to the pandemic I'm sure they'll be comfortable letting a good amount of the UK population die for the cause too.

We can’t get people to wear masks when popping into a shop for 5 mins mate..

We ain’t getting people going to fight in Russia..

 

[Lune1878]

Will there be US/UK and other countries special forces in Ukraine?

I’m guessing that this might happen once Russia has control of Ukraine. Small teams to gather intelligence and disrupt supply lines.

Conscription in a modern liberal democracy isn't going to happen.

It's happened in Ukraine. Can easily happen here. Especially when things get bad.

People shouting to go in don't seem to consider that the opponent is one of the most powerful nations on earth.

Are we still sure we have one of those?

 

[Lobster Johnson]

Well I never…

Well, they know a thing or two about getting invaded by Russians.
