The drums of war are starting to beat. Looks like we’re all being softened up for what’s coming.
I’ll paint a big red target on the roof in preparation
It makes you think, what intelligence do they have from the Russians? It’s got to be some wild shit.
They aren’t going to invade or launch missiles at us.
Our friends maybe, but not us.
The Royal navy could turn Russia to rubble and they know it.
I don’t know if this is true or not but I am sure NATO would defeat Russia quite easily if they did decide to attack the UK 🤷♂️
What, exactly, am I supposed to do? Protect and Survive was bullshit back in the ‘80s and continues to be bullshit.
I’m doing my bit. I’ve built a $22bn anti missile system in my back garden
Are they serious? They are saying I should buy a bunch of stuff for a 72 hour survival kit? I can barely afford rent in this shithole.
Russia can’t even beat Ukraine, no need to worry. If Putin is crazy enough to launch nukes then his own men will probably just assassinate him.
Who is going to launch missiles at a nuclear armed state?
I feel like we get into a bit of a frenzy with this often at the moment and it just becomes a headline that I discard
I think there’s some normal military exercises coming up for Russia in September – only know of this because Ukraine was really trying to sell it as them planning something again- which is probably part of the reason we are kicking up a frenzy again
Also not lost on me that this comes shortly after the Ukrainian drone mission in Russia
All in all, it’s just another day
For anyone looking for some background on this and some really interesting insight in Putin and how we ended up here, Turning point: the bomb and the cold war is a really good watch. Joins a lot of dots.
Guess I’m retreating into the tube tunnels to live like a mole person. At least I won’t get bothered by work emails
Lots of wild takes in the comments already, so here’s a [non-paywalled link](http://web.archive.org/web/20250604154608/https://inews.co.uk/news/politics/everyone-uk-must-prepare-for-missile-attacks-warns-top-general-3730408)
The actual article is arguing for the UK to become more conscious of the possibility of military attacks no matter how small, the same way Sweden and Finland are
I’ve sharpened my stick and locked the wife in the bedroom, what next?
You know what… I don’t think this war stuff is very good.
Have we tried all being friends?
What a load of fearmongering bullshit. Both we and Russia are nuclear armed countries and while we can help Ukraine strike Russia, Russia cannot do the same to the UK.
Of course a general will say something that benefits the army
Wonder if I can befriend Colin Furze and use his bunker?
I’ll be ok. Where I live, they will have the fins off it before it lands.
And how do we prepare for it exactly? Is it time to start building air raid shelters in our back gardens again?
My plans for a bunker were rejected by the parish town council planning committee.
I struggle to keep the neighbors cat out of my garden
They need a war to distract from the other problems, and seem determined to get it. Also a lot of resources there for the taking if Putin can be brought down and a puppet installed. Personally I struggle to see a country with a lower GDP than Italy, which is unable to beat a country with a third of its population, getting very far taking on NATO. Which I believe Russia has zero interest in doing.
>*“In one way we think a great deal too much of the atomic bomb. ‘How are we to live in an atomic age?’ I am tempted to reply: ‘Why, as you would have lived in the sixteenth century when the plague visited London almost every year, or as you would have lived in a Viking age when raiders from Scandinavia might land and cut your throat any night; or indeed, as you are already living in an age of cancer, an age of syphilis, an age of paralysis, an age of air raids, an age of railway accidents, an age of motor accidents.’*
>*In other words, do not let us begin by exaggerating the novelty of our situation. Believe me, dear sir or madam, you and all whom you love were already sentenced to death before the atomic bomb was invented: and quite a high percentage of us were going to die in unpleasant ways. We had, indeed, one very great advantage over our ancestors—anesthetics; but we have that still. It is perfectly ridiculous to go about whimpering and drawing long faces because the scientists have added one more chance of painful and premature death to a world which already bristled with such chances and in which death itself was not a chance at all, but a certainty.*
>*This is the first point to be made: and the first action to be taken is to pull ourselves together. If we are all going to be destroyed by an atomic bomb, let that bomb when it comes find us doing sensible and human things—praying, working, teaching, reading, listening to music, bathing the children, playing tennis, chatting to our friends over a pint and a game of darts—not huddled together like frightened sheep and thinking about bombs. They may break our bodies (a microbe can do that) but they need not dominate our minds.”*
C.S Lewis
For years all I’ve read is how Russia continually fail against Ukraine, how Russia is putting prisoners and North Koreans on the front line because they have reduced man-power, how they’re using obsolete technology and equipment because they aren’t as advanced as they let the world believe, how their military logistics are in disarray due to corruption at every level.
You can’t publish all of those “feel good” stories and THEN change direction and tell me they will become a tangible threat any day now.
I’m meant to believe that Russia has been holding back and they’re suddenly going to become some superior fighting force?
At this stage I’d be surprised if they even had nukes that worked.
