23 : Deluded General rants about imaginary threat from Russia

-
A couple of days ago at RUSI aka the Royal United Services Institute, in a much trailed speech approved by Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson , Chief of the General Staff,General Sir Nick Carter stirred the proverbial international diplomatic merde.

General Sir Nick Carter controversially claimed that Russian hostility could come sooner than expected and the UK must prepare to "fight the war we might have to fight".

The bemedalled Carter further alleged that Russia was building an increasingly aggressive expeditionary force and the potential military threats to the UK "are now on Europe's doorstep".

Carter claimed that the Kremlin already boasted an "eye-watering quantity of capability" - a level the UK would struggle to match with regard to  what he said was Russia's new cyber warfare capabilities as well as Russian long-range missile strike capability, which he said was demonstrated in Syria when 26 missiles were deployed from a 1,500km (930 mile) range.

Carter stressed that Britain "must take notice of what is going on around us" or that the ability by the UK to take action will be "massively constrained".

According to the UK's senior military figure these alleged threats " will creep up on us, and our ability to act will be markedly constrained - and we'll be the losers of this competition," he surmised on the basis of no verifiable,tangible,empirical evidence whatsoever.

And as a complete non -sequitur the beribboned buffoon added that he did "not in any way" want to suggest that Russia would go to war in the traditional sense, but that Moscow "could initiate hostilities sooner than we expect".

"I don't think it will start with little green men, it will start with something we don't expect." he concluded. Leaving his audience none the wiser.

Except for the leading harridan of the metropolitan Labour led antidemocratic ,anti-brexit  Remoaner conspiracy. Mary Creagh MP for Wakefield who in the immediate aftermath of General Blatherchops' rhetorical discharge,posted a characteristically assertive piece prefaced with the following utterly fatuous,otiose cant ( with a link to The Times article on the speech itself ) on social media:- (Gleaned from MC's facebook page )

It only took the Russians 15 minutes to wipe out two Ukrainian battalions. Today the head of the army warned the Conservatives to reverse cuts and boost spending or British troops would suffer the same fate.

108 : EUCO Summit Agrees Brexit Terms of Capitulation

-
In the Late Victorian era there was a popular fad for coffins to have a bell affixed to their lids,so that in the unfortunate circumstance of the recently declared deceased not being as far gone as they were thought to be,the interred person could pull on a cord which would ring the bell a to alert the burial party. Clearly in the matter of the UK's seemingly imminent constitutionally approved departure from the European Union, the bell on the Brexit coffin lid has been rung and the about to be dearly departed have alerted the burial party accordingly. And so, the once immutable D-Day of 29 March has been parlayed into two mutually dependent dates;the first of which falls in April and the latter in May and its all at the behest of  EUCO - the 27 Heads of State gathered in Brussels who heard May's desperate ringing of the bell... Farce,tragedy,madness,a crass comedic interlude. Though the funniest thing in these dying hours of the Grand Betrayal Of UK Democracy is how ea

124 : Putin launches swingeing critique on Western metropolitan elitist values at G 20 Summit

-
Occasionally,very occasionally  a leading world statesman articulates a point of view so cogently as to encompass one 's own outlook on an issue that it makes sense just to copy & paste verbatim. A couple of days ago The President of Russia launched a swingeing critique of prevailing  western metropolitan elitist values. To wit-   Vladimir Putin has trumpeted the growth of national populist movements in Europe and America, crowing that liberalism is spent as an ideological force. In an FT interview in the Kremlin on the eve of the G20 summit in Osaka, Japan, the Russian president said “the liberal idea” had “outlived its purpose” as the public turned against immigration, open borders and multiculturalism. Mr Putin’s evisceration of liberalism — the dominant western ideology since the end of the second world war in 1945 — chimes with anti-establishment leaders from US president Donald Trump to Hungary’s Viktor Orban, Matteo Salvini in Italy, and the Brexit insurgency in the

116 : UK celebrates VE Day by being goose-stepped into EU Elections 2019

-
The pantomime continues.. The UK's Quisling Regime has chosen today,VE Day,of all days on which to announce the UK's participation in the 2019 EU Elections. Legally and constitutionally we of course threw off the yoke of EU bondage on March 29 2019.But the MSM, Commentariat and all the major parties persist in maintaining the tawdry illusion that,somehow,the very life of Brexit is still being arduously fought over by the forces of Remain and the forces of Remain just a little bit longer. Yet just three short years ago,the EU funded seditionist,fifth-column shills of peoples Vote were barely a glint in George Soros' reptilian eyes. Supremely self-confident of an ineluctable and historically predetermined triumph at the ballot box,the then UK Chief-Toilet Attendant Cameron, stoked the flames of the Vote to Remain. Here's a recap of my post of 9 May 2016 - fahrenheit451:048- Spoiler Alert! the irony of course is that neither Cameron nor any other Remoaner politician
