I could not agree with you more. NATO has and is being very provocative. One law for it and another law for Russia. Its hypocracy is evident for all to see.

[@iggzistentialism8458]

​@@phillipgriffiths9624Yeah that's why Russia has placed nukes on NATOs borders in Kalingrad and Belarus, and invaded a sovereign neighbour breaking the Budapest Memorandum - under which the US and UK are compelled to help if Ukraine is invaded, Russia too, ironically. Are they ok with NATO nukes in Finland a few miles from St Petersburg? Or in Poland, or even Ukraine? No? Funny that. How many times has the UK been threatened with nukes these last two years? How many times has Russia been threatened? Can you define provocative?

I could fly there with all the ensuing costs of fuel used, car parking, hotel stay overnight in UK, flight, accommodation in Gdansk, food whilst there and then the dental work. I still ended up with change from what I would have to pay private here in the UK and I've had five great holidays in a beautiful city and enjoyed dental professionals at least as good as anything you can find here and in many ways better because no trouble is too much effort for them, they speak English and want to get the job done right in immaculate practice offices with the latest hi tech doodads.

[@S.Hunter279]

At the end of the day, Britain's foreign policy has been, since the days of Elizabeth I or probably earlier: to weaken or destroy any continental power which could invade our island. That's why Britain fought for centuries with Spain, until it succeeded in breaking apart its Empire by supporting the independence of Latin American countries. Britain also succeeded in defeating Napoleon, with the help of Russia and Prussia (Germany). The Second Reich which threatened to surpass the British Empire in economic and military might, was dealt with with the help of France, and especially, the USA. In WWII, the Third Reich was destroyed with Soviet and American help (even though the man in charge was an anglophile who wanted an anti-Communist alliance with the UK). Now the "enemy" is Russia, which is too far away to pose a serious threat to Britain's independence because it can't invade the island or cut the sea lanes. NATO leaders expected Ukraine to win the war against Russia and impose peace on Zelensky's terms, and they spent two years arming Ukraine instead of raising armies and arming themselves. But Zelensky's armies are suffering setbacks and it appears to be too late to rearm. That's why it is important to ask the question: If armies are raised and sent to fight in Europe to defend Poland or the Baltics, for example, doesn't the risk outweigh the benefit? Because this risk is called nuclear war. I believe nuclear weapons, paradoxically, have forced everyone, the US, NATO and even Russia, to act rationally and avoid an escalation, because otherwise we would already be in WWIII and more people would have died in that war than those who have already died in Ukraine.

British citizens will take up what arms??? What arms Knives? 😂 The U.K. stripped its citizens of the right to bear arms, guns, a long time ago. Thank God for the 2nd amendment. 🇺🇸 🇮🇱

[@DanielWalker-jo2kr]

No they didn't. They just introduced a gun licence, and barred certain types of weapons from civilian use. Manually-cycled rifles in anything up to 50 cal are legal in the UK, for example, meaning you can own a destructive weapon, legally, if you have the license for it. Americans don't seem to have a problem with the idea of a driving license to drive a car, why are some of them so opposed to the idea of having a license to own a tool whose only primary objective is to cause lethal levels of force? It's so immature.

[@kaba_me]

a) Small arms are useless against tanks and missiles. b) Even during war, most citizens will have to stay at home. Otherwise the country will collapse.

[@rboddington]

So in reality a group of Americans armed with hand guns and hunting riffles, would not last 5 mins against a brigade of Russian soldiers. There is a lot more to fighting than just having a gun, this is why nations spend billions and decades training armies. A group of civilians with guns would be quite useless. Ask any US general, and they will tell you this.
