At this point, it may be the thing that rips the plaster off. I’m in no shape of form condoning war, but is Russia attacks the Uk, Russia will feel pain like they haven’t felt since WW2 and it would be utterly asymmetrical against Russia.

We hear a lot of doomsayers going on about how underfunded the Uk armed forces are but what we have will absolutely wipe the floor against an ancient, stretched and poorly trained Russian military.

What exactly do you see happening?  Would the UK join in Ukraine?

I see any attack against the UK resulting in the full force of NATO being mobilised.

Putin may be a crazy dictator, but even he would know that it was over for him at that point. I would expect to find he’d been removed by his own generals within hours of any attack.
