War requires ice-cold emotionless thinking, accurate and timely military intelligence, and an economy that can support the Forces' needs for munitions and military equipment as and when they need them. Oh, and of course they will need the Forces themselves, trained up and ready to go.
And where will we get the steadfast national leadership that could lead the nation through such a perilous venture?
Given the government's track record of sacrificing all of the above in pursuit of the ridiculous UN Green New Deal and the numerous fairy tales that that involves, the chances of this new "peace-keeping" venture holding back a vast well-prepared battle-hardened Russian army with copious supplies of state of the art armaments, look vanishingly small to me. I would go so far as to say that should Russia decide to call our bluff and brush us aside ...
At that point, our only options would be to accept defeat on whatever terms Russia would offer, or the unthinkable course of nuclear escalation. Both options are self-defeating.
And this venture will be required today - not in five years time. If we go, we go with what we've got.
Sir Keir speaks in parliament about leading a "coalition of the willing" - as one might suppose, his speech is long on rhetoric and short on detail. Does it stack up in practice?
Time, tide, and war wait for no man.
Time to invoke our military to arrest our suicidally incompetent government for gross dereliction of duty, and manifest failure to protect our own nation whilst treasonously seeking to prioritise the defence of a foreign land?
