The British Army, Planning for Loss
BY Herschel Smith
3 weeks, 1 day ago
Britain is lost. Past tense. Without so much as firing a shot. It's over for them. Thankfully we fought a war and won to ensure we didn't answer to them. England could never have won against frontiersmen. They were doomed the second they set foot on American soil.

Would not send a gun to defend an English home. Might consider throw away Liberator type pistols if a resistance to tyranny began, but that seems pretty unlikely.

There must be a group of fawning sycophants around British PM Keir Starmer, who is himself far from the sharpest knife in the drawer… to give Prime Minister the idea that Britain is in any way, shape or form prepared to take on the Russian Federation in a kinetic war of some kind.
Britain’s conventional military is in sorry shape, not just the army but the once-vaunted Royal Air Force and Royal Navy, too. Not having access to classified data, the public has little to go on regarding the state of its nuclear deterrent, but if the ruling elites have been as careless with it as they have with their conventional forces, Britain may be all-but-defenseless.
Someone on the Imperial General Staff ought to whisper in Starmer’s ear that he’s playing a game he cannot possibly win. Unless, of course, his tactic is to hope that President Putin will laugh himself to death at the ridiculous posturing of his opposite number.
Frankly, at the rate Britain is deteriorating, perhaps the best they can hope for is to be occupied by the Russians. It is hard to believe that even that eventuality would be worse than the present status quo under the misrule of traitorous British elites.
The great Britons of the past, Churchill, Powell, Thatcher, et al. – must be spinning in their graves at these developments.

The Rothschilds own Europe (including Britain) and Europe does whatever their owners want done!

Meritocracy leads to “A” leaders hiring “A” workers and ensuring the best are promoted, with some “DD”s hired for fun.
DEI starts from “A”s hiring “B”s that don’t threaten their jobs, who then hire “C”s who then hire “D”s and there is no talent, skill or incentive for anyone to care about what is going on.
Unless you get our situation, where you go straight from “B”s to “N”s and “Q”s and end up in our situation now, where you can’t replicate even 50-year old technology and much of the leadership has to consciously slurp their own drool.
We’re heading back to parts, as the sum of the parts is nearing zero.

As for the British Army allowing Muslims in its ranks – let alone catering to them – that is something that must sooner or later come back to bite them. When – not if, when – heritage Britons are a minority in their own homeland, they will then be faced with the classic dilemma of all who are conquered by Islam: Conversion, subjugation, or death.
These three choices are the only ones offered the kafirs – infidels, unbelievers – when the sons of Allah rule. Say the shahada (profession of faith) and become a believer; accept status as a dhimmi (one who is ruled by Muslims) and pay the jizya tax; or be put to the sword.
Females, in particular if they are young and attractive, may have a fourth choice ~ to be taken as slaves and sold/kept by the sultan or some other dominant male. The same goes for children. They too can be taken as slaves. Whether this is a fate better or worse than death I will leave to others to decide…
There is a fourth option, if one possesses the fortitude to undertake it and that is to fight.
In olden times, it was said that “The sun never sets upon the British Empire,” and Britons led European civilization in many achievements and endeavors. If something great was done, there was a pretty good chance that a Briton had done it.
Today, looking at the astonishing lack of backbone in that once-great nation, their future looks bleak indeed. If the men of that nation cannot be moved to action by the sight of their most-vulnerable countrymen/women – the elderly, women and children – being terrorized by the jihadists, then apparently nothing will rouse them from their indifference and slumber. An ignoble end for a once-great nation.
And if native Britons can’t summon the will to help themselves, why should anyone else offer to come to their aid?
They need to learn a lesson that our conflict with their crown taught us ~ that the oppressor will not surrender their liberties to them voluntarily; those freedoms must be fought for, seized and won.

An aside, but one which may become relevant to Britain’s case: The news just reported that Denmark has joined Sweden and Norway in subjecting young women to the draft.
How long before Britain follows suit?
Experience has taught young men that whenever women in large numbers enter a given profession or field, especially one which has been highly-masculine heretofore – as military service has been – then the desirability of that field for masculine men drops as the institution is feminized. This dynamic has been seen again and again all over the West. Precisely the kind of men who are needed to fight wars, are those who are driven out or who stay out. A case of the bad driving out the good.
If this pattern repeats in the UK, and we have reason to believe that it will, how long before women are drafted to make up for the short-fall?
And the drafting/conscription of women is literally to kill the “seed corn” of civilization, since only women of child-bearing years can sire the generation to come. Sacrificing young women in the meat-grinder of combat is literally the very worst use of them which can be made. And forthose who hate Britain and hate the West -maybe that is precisely the point.

Fatalism and defeatism is too Leninist for my taste.
Is Britain in a bad spot? Undoubtedly. But so was Vienna in 1683. Should Jan Sobieski have adopted France’s stance and just let it fall?
Also, don’t underestimate the English soldier. There’s a reason the British conquered the fuzzies in the first place. They don’t have to be superhuman to punch above their weight.
Frankly, they shouldn’t be building up a continental-style army so much as emphasizing the Royal Marines. Amphibious troops are much more Britain’s style, and would complement Poland’s tank armies nicely.

“There’s no England now” – The Kinks
The British need leaders. They have none at this time. Their so-called king is a joke and laughing stock. Their government from the prime minister to the local dog catcher is compromised and more concerned with prosecuting heritage British and importing non-Brits than protecting their borders.

To quote a meme:
When General Richards led the 4th Armoured Brigade in the 1990-ties in Germany he had 120 tanks, 2 armoured infantry battalions, 24 heavy artillery pieces, an engineer and logistics regiment and a repair battalion.
The entire british army of today has less than this.

@ Gladius,
Well that was weird. Don’t know how you got Lenin out of any of this.
