| Time was when the UK/Great Britain had the most powerful navy in the world. Policy dictated having a larger navy than any other pair of powerful nations. The UK sought to keep the peace, settle disputes and uphold its own imperial interests with this global mobile power.The first great German war stretched the UK military with victory only coming after the late arrival of the Americans. It was mainly a land war needing the French army. The second world war was a joint win for the UK, Russia and the USA. Post 1945 UK was badly damaged by the war. We had large debts to repay to the US who made us borrow and pay for war supplies. Government granted independence to many countries and accepted at Suez it could not dictate events against the wishes of the US. Since then we have accepted that the USA is the dominant power. It is her turn to police the peace, impose or assist settlements of disputes and pursue her global interests. We have also accepted that we usually side with the US against the communist/authoritarian bloc. We are the second biggest contributor to NATO, which has provided collective defence in Europe against Soviet/Russian expansion.We did not join the US in their ill judged war in Viet Nam. As I have previously shown, the UK has suffered badly from land wars and invasion threats from continental Europe. We have not had ambitions to conquer and occupy European lands for the last 500 years. Our sea moat has enabled us to see off the most aggressive imperial threats from Spain, France and Germany since 1500. As the US reconsiders its commitment to European defence the UK should not rush to replace the US in offering protection to continental countries. We should buttress the defences of these islands and look outwards to the rest of the world to expand our trade and friendships. The UK defence priorities should be anti missile,drone and aircraft systems combining surveillance with effective response. We need a bigger navy to defend our coasts and shipping lanes. We need much more industrial capacity as you cannot defend yourself in war depending on imports. TAP – The better plan would be to negotiate with Russia and help them secure their western border. That would secure a lasting peace. That’s not what our ‘leaders’ want of course. Change them for real opposition and real peace – the only pathway to the future – The English Democrats oppose the mobilisation and deployment of the army to Ukraine, oppose the sanctions and wish to negotiate with Russia. |
Why harp on the past all the time? When I was little, I liked teddy bears and dolls, but I grew up. Time for the UK and the rest of the West to grow up too. The only countries supporting Elensky are in the West as most of the rest of the world knows it’s well past time for a multi-polar world.
Because the lessons of history are too easily forgotten Belyi. The fundamentals don’t change, as Redwood demonstrates above
The modern Western masses are like children in some respects, they don’t know their history. And what little they do know is distorted beyond recognition by piles and piles of lies. Lies stacked up to the heavens. The tv churns out history lies 24/7, the msm too
But Spermer still wants a continuing land war in Europe. He probably knows his history but chooses to ignore that reality. Britain has no significant army so the Queer wants others to do the fighting for him in the valley of death. Ukies have lost a million or more, so who is next in Spermers “plan”?
Well said Tap, “jaw, jaw not war, war” as the old soak once said
So who will do the jawing for us Brits? Who will represent US? Realistically it’s too soon for the English Dems, so who?
There’s nobody is there, it’s up to ordinary folk like us

As I said somewhere else before, unless trouble is actually knocking on their own front door, most people couldn’t care less about Ukraine or Palestine , it’s thousands of miles away and the bombs and bullets are doing them no harm. It may as well be a million miles away. If Starmer wants war, let him step forward first to the front line and show how it’s done. It’s not as if he is doing a decent job anywhere else.
They can rape, molest children, steal and murder knowing it will never be reported. Once you’re on the inside you are fully protected. And they never will be aksed to endanger themselves, or members of their family. Saying that in WW1 PM Asquith’s son was killed on the western front. He was never the same and his regime fell to the machinations of warmonger Lloyd George. In those days it was an honour to have family killed in wars.
Dimitry Peskov’s son joined the Wagner Group under a pseudonym and did a full tour of duty in Artyomovsk. All power to him when I’m sure he didn’t need the money.
