Who comes up with this, Cmon you really believe Ukraine can beat Russia in a fight. Dillusional

[@martinella888]

Keep on dreaming 😂 Ukraine is Rusdia and always was! I was born in Ukraine and I am for Russia ❤

Ukraine has zero to do with the UK. It's non of our business.

[@TheKakan1337]

It is The Russian people that has to end this... One way...or another...

[@ArtyFactual_Intelligence]

Starmer does not need to accelerate the process of Putin's collapse. Let him bring it upon himself.

[@ArtyFactual_Intelligence]

Forkwhit. What did the Tories do since 2014 to stop Putler.

[@mcihs2]

We were busy in Afghanistan and Syria and Libya and helping the Saudis in Yemen, I know we love war, but we have limited ability to fight these days…

Richard Kemp says that the outsourced recruitment process saved money but did not get the recruits: in other words, its failure meant no money was actually "saved". Rather than subcontract to Capita (yes, them again), it would have been far better to have spent the money and actually got some recruits. Politicians should stop pretending that outsourcing works and admit it more often results in poor outcomes. Indeed, some organisations have been reported in Private Eye as cancelling contracts and bringing the services back in-house due to non-delivery of service.

What is the drivel the presenter is spouting off about the Afghanistan soldiers. Ask British soldiers what it is like to serve with Afghan soldiers. Sure there will be some good ones but they were often lazy, badly organised - look how fast their country fell. On top of that, there are massive cultural differences, some which would not be savoury to the western world.

[@Petriefied0246]

This refers specifically to ex Afghan special forces, not the illiterate hillbillies.

Come on she's an ex para😂

Not helped by Trump's deal, not negotiated with the Afghan government, to release 5000 Taliban fighters, which included the US troop withdrawal date, which due to the date was blamed on Biden.

[@DS9TREK]

The elite Afghan troops were highly capable. We're not talking about regular forces here

[@heycidskyja4668]

@@DS9TREK It's unlikely even the elite of Afghan SF would be capable enough to join the British army. We paid them to do a job, that's what we owed them.

It's disgraceful to give Ukraine the weapons, but then we dictate how they're used.

Todays society is different to say 30 years ago. Nowadays the younger generation are work shy, and need to protect their mental health in their safe spaces while waving the rainbow flag. They get more money on civvy street claiming benefits.

[@stogmot1]

Dream on times radio ffs

[@creepycrawlything]

My elder son spent 6 years in TA/7th Scots and six years in the Royal Navy (mine sweepers operating out of Faslane). He was able to save more money while in the forces, than he might have done in civvy street. Since leaving he's been able to transfer the small-unit disciplines and man-management skills to work outside the forces. Dealing with higher ranks within the forces, is also helpful when dealing with civvy managers. There's a lot the forces can sell themselves on. The all-found aspect of the forces suits some. The more the forces can give its recruits transferable skills and knowledge, the better. As a matter of personal opinion, I'm in favour of giving Ukraine all the military and civilian support needed to 'defeat' Putin's Russia on the battle field. Always remembering that the important matter is the day after the war ends, when we begin the work of engaging those who the day before were enemies.

[@marcchanony6832]

ah yes, send your son 🚑🚑

[@briancarno8837]

Russia will never be the friend of the West..He is looking to china and the BRICS countries. You only have to look at the UK over the last few weeks to know we are finished

[@sonofsomerset1695]

Can you explain why someone should join the army, to potentially go die in a ditch in Ukraine, when we're not even defending our own borders, hundreds of unknown men flooding in every day?

[@creepycrawlything]

​@@marcchanony6832 I take it you intend to disrupt useful discussion (of the UK armed forces, and what support Ukraine needs to defeat Russia) . Can you tell me why you choose to do that.
