Ooh imagine almost 20yrs of tory austerity, privatising everything, preventing people from owning their own home, taxing them into poverty whilst enriching their rich mate and not funding infrastructure, cripples military power…
viva la france
0:58 been there, done that #dunkirk
Why would brits fight for their country when the government has sold them out
Sad watching the land of my ancestors and the greatest bulwark of the West for centuries slowly fade away and kill itself. The west is toast anyway
I’m sure the money they spend on DEI training within the British military will win us any war. Lol
Why would anyone expect our your English youth to fight for this country and enlist when this country does nothing but out them. And try to keep them down
Lets be serious, we are fkd, thank your sell out politicians
UK never fought a fair fight. It only bullied smaller, less capable countries, historically and present. There's a saying, gentlemen don't fight face to face, they only back stab.
London population: 12m
Switzerland population: 8m
UK active army personnel: 138k
Switzerland active army personnel: 147k
It is almost like prioritizing free education, free healthcare, and robust migrant support might mean that things like defense get elft by the wayside..
Its ok, I am sure being a vassal to the US hits the same as being the global power they used to be.
7:01 that drone definitely got creamed by the IFV.
BLIMEY!
So you don’t waste your time. They don’t
The British Army is woke it hates straight white men, why would anyone in their right mind want to join.
When you spend on benefits what this country spends what do expect
If it's small, short and close by, Britain is ok for a week or so.
Then it will blame the French and attack the Irish.
England ready for war with only 70..000 soldiers with that number you could not police England never mind a war
There is no real shortage of men wanting to join either. A lot of it is because of corruption, so many people try to join but have to jump through so many hurdles over a long period that they just find another job. It’s capitas fault.
Look at the French Foreign Legion also, you can get in it within a day. Not over a year in some cases.
Also stuff like going to school graduation days with army signups, sending letters to houses, it’s little stuff like that.
Oh look, the Tories have embezzled, privatised and parasitised the armed forces too?
How extremely surprising.
The mod has the woke civil service in charge
He's full of it I build this stuff. We are building more than ever.
Have you seen all the veterans on the streets ? Says a lot !!!
The greed of those in govt since the 80’s has stolen from the people their pride, their money and their security. The only ones benefitting are them and their mega rich pals. Introduce a wealth tax (an I’m talking serious wealth – those with assets of £10m+) and we can fix our problems in a decade. But we all know their out for themselves and if tshtf them and theirs will bugger off to the safety of the americas
Why people listen to people like this I have no idea
I thought diversity was our strength?
Migrants won’t fight for a country they hate and natives won’t fight for a country that hates them. It’s simple, really.
The quality of the force, the morale and ability to strike with combined arms is the measure if it. Russia had a lot of men and material to last about 6 hours when they invaded toward Kiev. After those tanks and trucks and APC ran out of gas it was over, the lucky ones made it back to Russia and fled to the west.
There is no way the British Army can achieve 72,500. I know I’m in that number as are many of my comrades, the government is going to get the same F U that they gave us, if they ask us to come back.
You can’t beef up special forces if they don’t have a pool to pull those troops from. Remember everyone in the British Army is primarily an infantryman. I believe you must have served 3 years before you can apply for SAS selection and most that apply for selection fail. And I don’t care how many special forces you have they are not going to be able to take on some task (a SAS regiment isn’t going to take on a tank squadron).
It’s not at risk of become a shell of its former self, it is a shell of it’s former self. Every tank crew would need to train 4-5 tank crews just to get the armored Corp back to strength. The same goes for every other branch.
The war weapons that Europe really lacks is baby making capabilities
Youtube deleting comments again
Corruption. Incompetence at the highest levels with huge salaries for those at the top.
im and engineer on the raf's atlas force and i have to say, we do struggle for manpower and it affects our operation.
1 of 3 nuclear powers in Europe
Not 2
god so much propaganda in one clip, painful to listen
Thanks Tatcher
Who does Britain need to rearm against? Certainly not Russia or rearmament and recruiting would have started years ago. But the government knows Russia is not a threat to Europe as a whole only Ukraine and they have already lost and by next year that will be an end to war in Europe. Unless Poland wants to start something.
Has Britain ever been ready for a major war, when they broke out?
Armour*
The Nigerian girl scouts could beat us
Why would anyone sign up and want to fight for a country that hates it's own patriots.
Britain doesn't have numbers to fight a war… merely 100000 troops isn't capable to stand major wars…hence in war game scenario, Britain is Going to loose to Russia along with NATO, if Russia, China ,North Korea as well as Iran open their fronts
With the removal of conscription, militaries need to realize that they are now just another job
thank you for being the only channel ive seen that posts the answer in the thumbnail or title. A lot of channels tend to explain things in a manner that is avoidant
Britain should be the NATO unsinkable aircraft carrier, thus invest in multi role fighters and warships to protect the UK islands from amphibious assault. I think those deciding are still fearful of a Dunkirk kind of scenario in Europe.
Who is the UK worried about being. attacked by, Belgium? Serious question. Save me the Russia nonsense.
What a pointless fucking video , as someone who has served you're talking fucking shit and most of the muppets in the comments are as well , we are 6th in the world the fucking French are 11th , and the last time fucking America went to war by itself they losted and when we did we won and we are in a lot better place now then back then , bunch of fucking armchair warriors make me sick
