How is all looking lost when not one German set foot on our territory ?
I think your lack of knowledge and general ignorance is shining through here. What difference does it make whether it was our territory or that of our allies? I mean, I’ll let you off to a certain degree even though British territory was invaded in Africa, the English Channel and Asia.
 
The inaction over the expulsion of Russia from swift from our glorious leaders is truly spineless, but the complete lack of support on the ground for Ukraine and her people is much worse.

The Russian reciprocal sanctions will hit the west much worse than the half arsed proposals our glorious leaders have implemented against them.
 
Precisely why sanctions wont work. London flooded with Russian money, Biden worried about the rise in gas prices. Germany worried about gas. You can go on. People dont care about war or death as long as it doesnt personally affect them or their career/finances


And the cracks being to appear less than 24-hours. Shameful.
How big is Germany's army atm? I read European nations still don't let them expand it bcs of you know who in 1940s, but are they still weak?
Around 60,000 - 70,000. The problem is that they have very little experience of combat operations, especially offensive, due to their remit from 50s onwards.

The whole of Western Europe capitulated - why? Because they were occupied.
 
How do you come to that conclusion?


“Well, what went wrong was a rigged election,” Trump said, once again misrepresenting the results of the 2020 presidential contest.

“I went in yesterday and there was a television screen, and I said, ‘This is genius,’ ” Trump continued. “Putin declares a big portion of the Ukraine — of Ukraine. Putin declares it as independent. Oh, that’s wonderful. So, Putin is now saying, ‘It’s independent,’ a large section of Ukraine. I said, ‘How smart is that?’ And he’s gonna go in and be a peacekeeper. That’s strongest peace force … We could use that on our southern border.”

He continued to praise Putin a bit later.
“Here’s a guy that says, you know, ‘I’m gonna declare a big portion of Ukraine independent’ — he used the word ‘independent’ — ‘and we’re gonna go out and we’re gonna go in and we’re gonna help keep peace,’ ” Trump said. “You gotta say that’s pretty savvy. And you know what the response was from Biden? There was no response.

The small problem of having no landing craft also. But thats hindsight, we didn't know it at the time.
A lack of landing craft, inexperience and lack of resources for amphibious warfare and facing one of the most powerful blue-water and local navies sat there.

There were plans for almost banzi style charges if they invaded even without air cover. The chances of Sea Lion actually succeeding were deemed quite slim.*

Britain was never the true target though; it was always Russia. But, there's actual audio records of Hitler lamenting to his generals that he didn't crush us.

*That's with everything set up like the RAF and RN shackled and the Kreigsmarine strengthened.

Nothing stopping the UK to strive ahead with it's own sanctions now we are Sovereign independent nation state. All well and good pointing fingers at others...
