      I’m sure it’s as bad, or worse, in the U.K. as it is in the U.S. today. We’ve had at least 50 years of male effeminization via social and media conduits. Western governments have spent at least as much time working to show their disdain and contempt for males of European descent.
      Yes, you can change laws and develop terribly punitive consequences for those who will not fight for you. Maybe you get your armies. But what will those armies function like? The Rus’ and their meat waves?
      All I’m saying is the west is in a major pickle right now. Just look at the recruitment stats for the U.S. military over the last decade. The pop is spent after a 20+ year loss on a foreign war that was really just trying to give them woman and gender rights. The pop has no cohesiveness like we had 1940.

    Back in the day, I as a soldier in the Parachute regiment, attached to a unit with a specific job to do in the event the Soviets invaded West Germany, was told in such an event we would have at max a ten day life expectancy.
    We were also told to make sure that we didn't fall into Soviet hands under any circumstances.
    The war in Ukraine has bought this last advice into very sharp focus. :(
    As for the army now, it simply does not have enough mass or heavy equipment to fight a Russian army fighting in the way they are fighting in Ukraine. We don't have anywhere near enough air defence, artillery (tube and rocket), I could go on.
    This is why it is in the UK's interest to stop Russia in Ukraine by helping the Ukranians with equipment, ammunition etc.

      It's in the best interest for the war to stop now. Not to keep arming a war that's been a stalemate for over a year. Neither side can win now. Both are losing the same attrition rates except the West Media only covers Russian losses. The war is mute. NATO and the USA caused it too.
