Sky News – March 20, 2024
The army must “prepare genuinely for war” to credibly deter threats, a group of former defence and security chiefs have signalled.
Offering advice to whoever is prime minister and defence secretary after the election, a report by the New Bletchley Network – which drew on ideas from a discussion between a panel of experts – said a “hollowing out” of the regular army and reserves over the years must be reversed, warning the size of the force may already be beneath “national critical mass”.
Among those who contributed to the discussion were Lord Mark Sedwill, a former cabinet secretary and national security adviser, Lord George Robertson, a former head of NATO and Labour defence secretary, and General Lord David Richards, a former head of the armed forces.
The intervention comes amid growing concern about a failure by Rishi Sunak’s government to increase defence spending in the Spring Budget, despite Defence Secretary Grant Shapps warning the UK was in a “pre-war world” and Russia still waging a full-scale war in Ukraine.
Focusing on the UK army, the report, published on Wednesday, warned “deterrence is based on credibility”.
“British Army credibility has been weakened by 20 plus years of hollowing out and diminished fighting power. Army morale is fragile,” it added.
The brief paper highlighted a “serious wake-up signal” from a senior figure in NATO who warned the British Army is no longer a top-level, or “Tier 1”, fighting force.
These comments, by a senior US general, were first revealed by Sky News last year.
The report said: “To be credible in deterrence terms we need to prepare genuinely for war and communicate this to potential foes, NATO and allies, and particularly to the British public.”
it would be a good time to enrol all those in prison all the socialists migrants

( sorry carl jones )
They’re scared of Russia and us, because when they’ve cost us everything we’ll have nothing left to lose. They want to kill off as many of us as they can in this war, because if they start it they’ll lose it and they want fewer of us around to hunt them down to serve justice.
They could flee but they desperately want to try and defeat Russia, because nearly every one of them with few exceptions will be wanted by the Russians. Whereas we can’t track them down to the ends of the earth because we won’t have the means, Russia can try to track them all anywhere all day long.
They’d be fools to trap themselves for long in bunkers because Russia knows where they are. Some may be turned in by their own security. And they won’t risk spending more than two nights in the same bed when they are on the run, when every sound day or night will grip them with fear even if only briefly.
You KNOW things are getting desperate when a military pipsqueak like Bankrupt Britain has to resort to piling puerile war-propaganda pablum onto the Public…
in order to deflect attention away from (((The Usual Suspects))) responsible for robbing everything that wasnt nailed down in the country… and then “immigrating” a ‘replacement population’… should the “natives”get a little too “resrless”,,,,
resrless = restless
Ha ha the list of Schmucks in that article is actually the most-wanted list of blackmailed traitors in the UK.
Sedwill is gangster no2 behind Mandelson.
Tick tock. They must be absolutely terrified right now. Watch them start to make mistakes under pressure.
Russia will obliterate anything the Anals send. Listen to what Russian analysts like Dmitri Orlov have to say to get to know the utter contempt Russia has for the Europeans. Russia has 500,000 men in reserve waiting for the trannie army.
The Russians will not and cannot go any further because if they did they would be breaching their deal with the ZOG running the Ukraine and the West to divide up the Ukraine. The only reason to crowd some expeditionary UK, French, & German, boys and girls into the place is so they can prance around in uniforms and pretend to be protecting the place while they are actually securing the assents being transferred to the Western carpetbaggers corporations buying up the place.
The war was a proxy give-away by the West from the beginning, and as shameful as the Covid crimes.
The Russians were always careful not to harm the infrastructure in the provinces they invaded, which was a signal to various pundits by the summer of 2022 that they did not intend to leave.
They were so careful that not even their forces or the Ukrainian ones disrupted the natural gas pipelines with all of that gas flowing from Russia through the Ukraine to the EU despite all of the stink about Nord Stream II.
Russia has a GDP the size of Canada but has 4 times its population and a much larger land mass to service and to “protect”. It is surrounded by NATO bases.
Russia is as much of a puppet state of the international banking cartel as our own nations, which cartel has backed communist movements all over the world, and which is major backer of the totalitarian New World Order being ushered in. It is totalitarian and Putin and those holding the power still have strong Marxist leanings.
The Russian power brokers have the same contempt for their own people as our own. If they give them more truth, it is pablum, and only because they are not as sophisticated with media brainwashing.
The giant Western mega corporations would not be buying up Ukrainian farm land and other assets in the scattered and totally corrupted nation in they thought the Russians were to go further West to any significant degree, other than to shore up their present holdings.
Morons. Shabbos Goy Traitors.
Russia would crush them like a rotten grape!
Nuke the City of London! Crush the power of Rothschild Jewry!
@theyrlying..(to us)
Well spotted Sir… you are one of the few that can actually see what’s happening..
Britain has not got an Army, and if you want one you more or less get prison; Armies are a plaything of Jews, and their main role is to kill goyim
I think it more likely these wastrels will be disingenuously preparing for war, as they always do..
…. in fact I’d put a palette of inflated to nothing hard Fiat currency on it,,,( they aren’t even promisary notes..more broken promisary)…
The TREASONOUS masonic whores are hammering on the war drum as hard as they possibly can, and no one is showing up for the spectacle…
