This AM....I read through Brit news, and noted that British Army Chief, General Sir Roly Walker, spoke up and said that political leaders in the Kingdom.....will soon begin a "frank dialogue".....with Brit folks about preparing for war.
I pondered upon this.
He didn't say 'who' the war-party was....nor give some hint of frank-dialogue. He didn't really say what preparation for war entailed.
If I were Putin....I'd call up and ask if I could help the UK in some fashion. Maybe offer to pretend to invade....just so Brits had something to focus upon.
The general making up something? Well....you can't be sure about that idea.
Even if the PM said invasion was likely.....then what? I'm guessing only a quarter of the population....including women....would be willing to pick up arms, and go to killing invaders. I suspect one out of three Brits might welcome the invaders (suggesting Russians might be a better fit for leadership positions).
If some French or German general had spoken to some threat like this? I might suggest only 10-percent of society would take them serious, but you wouldn't dare issue guns to anyone....out of fear that they'd try to take over the country before the invaders arrived.
We live in odd times.
