This country is no more near fighting Russia than it is in mending the roads.

This channel has become farcical?

Lol. This channel is embarrassing.

we cant or won't protect our own country nevermind some far away land these warmongers should shut their silly mouths

The only fighting we are now capable of ,is sending a strongly worded email with some insipid emojis at the end of it .

War is young men dying while Old men talk.

Is this station sponsored by Monty Python Flying Circus ? 🥴😵😵‍💫 ( you are going to fight Russia 😁😆😅 unbelievable : )

As a straight white male I'll sit this one out..I believe diversity is our strength now

Would you like to tell us why anyone would bother fighting for a country that doesnt even defend it's own borders?

😂😂😂😂 our country is a joke

Putin could be deterred if UK “ready to fight”…amusing.

Delusional.

the guy is clueless

The man will fight on his own.

This country to take on Russia, what a joke...

Guys in UK don't even know if they are boys or girls or something else..

People are more interested in Love Island than the security of the country.

Just stop the boats that would save 200 million a month.

Ha! the UK can't even cover the rents for OAP,s

War is a racket. It's the only industry where the profits are measured in dollars, and the losses are measured in lives. (Smedley D. Butler).

I don’t think many countries are worried about the uk we are so so weak.😢

Let’s not think "Victory", let’s think "Peace". Once we think peace, there can be peace.

It's not our war. Period.

Warmonger

Labour went five wars, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya Yemen, Syria and what did you get out of it you now going against ha ha

Let all the labour voters go and fight

Meanwhile in the channel

No he couldnt and wouldnt. Russians dont think like that. And honestly, Britain will never be ready for war, we barely have a navy, the Royal Navy had been stressing gor years that they dnt have enough recruits, nor do they have enough ships, we are decommissioning more ships than we are building them. We are not contributing to our military anymore.

How about NO

NATO was founded in 1949. So NATO did not experience anything in the 1930's as it didn't exist.

There might not be enough money for the NHS, housing, veterans, homeless, roads, transport etc etc but always there's money for wars.

UK ready?? The UK has no significant conventional force. 30k Frontline troops(maybe), approx 50 battle ready tanks, etc. Ukraine is losing more than 30k soldiers a month to injury/death. UK military has become a joke, they are of no consequence to the Ukraine war if needed.

I love a good comedy.

Here we go we getting involved behind a corrupt country, whilst ours is collaping on every measurable level

Ukraine is a relatively small country? What's that guy on

Times *loves* its military industrial hawks.

Who is going to fight.....the youth in the uk are not interested. I dont blame them.

They fired all are good soldiers for not getting the covid shot lol

We have some canal boat,s.

You got to love these Rambos. We cant even stop boats across a channel

I’m not fighting for my country never ever in a million years.

YOU FIRST

I am relieved to see lots of comments expressing reluctance to fight Russia….we could have had peace in March 2022, Putin offered a complete withdrawal from Ukraine in exchange for Ukraine not joining NATO and for the Russian speaking people in the East of Ukraine to have some sort of autonomy. Johnson scuppered the deal...

Stalin once said to Churchill, Ha, your country is just 3 bombs…..

Bullies are usually cowards

Basically you want us to die for your cause?

Nobody is fighting for this country, good luck.

There's no end in sight to our endless supply of *warmongering* leaders....but when I go out in public I can see why so many voted them in, such a selfish mentality. People are insane

England won't stand a chance against Russia. If NATO cannot win a war against Russia how does England believe ahe can win a war by herself against Russia

Fight? Fight with what?

You should be talking about peace peace peace, how to improve relations not fight. UK are not in position to start war? Do not depend on US or others .

Fear fear fear 😮 the world would be fine if all countries minded there own business...we are NOT ready and never will be...who would fight for this dump 😮

Let's press the button to find out .

Can't wait for the Universal Basic Rations.

Go save your own nation. Sort out the NHS. Fix homelessness. Get jobs for people. Stop listening to warmongers. Russia attack the UK? 😂

I think we have to accept that, consistent with the past and general human nature, we have sleepwalked into a disaster of potentially biblical proportions. Neither our politicians or 'we the people' are in the least bit ready for what's coming.

Im not fightng for this country as is

Isn't this the same channel that says the UK is not ready to fight?

We have got the NHS to pay there's nothing left for defense.

Honestly have we not learnt anything from two world wars, this situation should ended by negotiation now.

People still think Labour are anti war

In an interview with The Times, General Sir Patrick Sanders, the former head of the army, warned that Britain’s armed forces were so worn down that they were only able to fight a small war for no longer than a month.

This is pure nonsense.

If, as a govt, you haven't got the competence to even stop a rubber dinghy in our own English channel, then trust me, you haven't got the competence to take on a major nuclear power with vast resources at its command. I mean, It's a no brainer, isn't it!

All Putin needs to know, is that NATO (and therefore the UK,) will act should a NATO country be threatened/attacked. Britain getting involved directly in the Ukraine war independent of her NATO allies is, ludicrous.

Ukraine on fire 🔥 interview with Oliver Stone .

That kind of war won't ever happen to Britain, it's an island 🙄 🤦

Why would anyone fight for a country where you can get arrested for flying the flag of that country????

Upgrade to the 21st century 😅😅😅😅

Oh what a surprise, Tony B. Liar took us to war. I feared this may happen!

fighting for what?

😂😂😂😂 THE END TIME SIGNS ARE GETTING WORSE THAN EVER 😂😂

Hi I'm afraid that the US and UK are wanting to fight with Ukraine army and it is alright that he said they have permission to fire missiles and everything else but you should be aware that they will be coming back at you twice as hard and it is not the US and UK that are dying you should negotiate for peace and I know that you don't want to talk to Putin so we are at a stail mate and maybe you should go and fight if it makes you feel better instead of thousands of people dying

Hilarious suggestion. First of all the public would not support troops going to Ukraine and the suggestion that Russia would be deterred by this is preposterous. Would you send your children to war to support Zelensky and his US Corporate Masters. I think not.

Funny I seem to remember that a certain U.S. President warned Europe that they were not spending enough on defence ? What did they do ? Laughed at him didn't they ? Bet they arn't laughing now eh ?

Putin will leigh his head off at this. As he know UK can't even stop RNLI taxis. So you will never stop Putin.

The war with Russia could have been avoided

This island is too small for a war with a nuclear power. It would be over before it even started.

The saying 'gros bouches, petits mains' describes the British who spout on Times Radio.

These chiefs are always ready to fight, might not be so keen if they had to actually do it themselves ? Just like General Melshite " right behind you men " - actually 30 miles behind. Sickening

The starting point should be that Mr Carter has been after decades of service at best a liability and now anything they have to say should be laughed at. Say NO to European Defence Union

Put your uniform on then General and best of luck.

The only fight desirable and approved by the public is that the government stay true with their policies and solve all the suffering here in the UK 🇬🇧 and ensure their citizens are living happily

I didn’t think you send chance against Tresha

I come here for the Group think, very good Group think here.

Alternative opening few seconds of this comical video: *_"Rumple-Tweezer ran the Dinky-Tinky shop in the foot of the Magic Oak Tree, by the Wobbly Dum-Dum Bush, in the shade of the Magic Glade down in Dingly-Dell."_*

laughable

Times Radio never fails to give me a chuckle when they discuss the Russia Ukraine conflict.

Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war Well off you go and tell us what it’s like buddy

Pro tip, if you act ready to and prepare to fight defensively on the basis that you won't actually have to fight because the threat wil be deterred, that may be interpreted from another country's standpoint as preparations to attack them and provoke rather than deter them.

This man is a historically familiar man. Talking up world war three in a British “News channel” in 2024. We saw his kind in 1914 when two countries in Eastern Europe were fighting over sovereignty, ethnicity and territory. Sound familiar? And we listened.And 10 million dead people later ….a million of them ours…it ended in deadlock and Europe in Ruins. Then 20 years later, in 1939, it started up again and left our whole continent in ruins. Economically, , politically culturally. So notice these effing people never speak of Peace….not then, not now. He speaks of deterring Russian aggression in simple minded ignorance that deterring NATO aggression is what this war is about.

The British Government and its people need to decide what role we want our arms services to perform and focus on achieving that objective. Too much is said about being a global force without the means to project that influence. Until a clear vision is provided our ever diminishing armed forces will remain completely rudderless to the point the question will be purely rhetorical.

Конечно наличие русских ракетных кораблей и подводных лодок в английском канале ирландском и северном морях поможет Англии трезво оценивать ситуацию

Cant even defend our coastline

We live in different times. All a Soldier needs is a Muffin, a Coffee and a Smart phone . That's it . Job done .😅

I find it very difficult to understand why any native English man or woman would enlist in the armed forces to put his her hers life for a government that will not protect its own borders which is resulted in the destruction of their country on many levels. Could a draft remedy this issue? In my opinion it will not as it will only cause more division.

Ok Chief, get your gear ready, make sure you pack everything: Toothpaste, brush/Flannel/MANLY aftershave etc, pop to the local camo shop for your pound gear and good luck, 😉👋

sunak or starmer what an election what a choice ?

James Bond will fight for UK

The one criteria to be met when the MOD is selecting a military commander in Britain , is the candidate must have been brought up reading The Beano , The Dandy and Viz magazine .
