To be alarmed at Starmers plans

Anybody else worried about his ongoing plans for deeper involvement in Ukraine. In an interview yesterday he said he intends to send our troops out there. Surely this would mean we’d be at war with Russia! Anyone else very concerned.

Preventing russia from annihilating Ukraine and advancing forwards into the rest of Europe.

Why do you think this would happen? Which parts of Europe?

The Baltic States (Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia) for a start. Then possibly on to Finland. Certainly the Scandinavians seem to think so.

Is everyone forgetting that the OP provided no link here, and no details other than "something on their Facebook feed?" And that the only article anybody has found is about peacekeeping forces?

I think quite a few people on this thread aren't interested in actual facts. They just like to leap on an opportunity to slate the government.

You are of course completely right - OP posted absolutely nothing of any substance.

And OP also fucked off after posting once on their own thread. Very telling.

I’m ex forces from an ex forces family, nearly all of whom saw active conflict, I know how it works. What we don’t want is to be sending our highly trained & skilled military off to wars to fight on sides that have absolutely no chance of winning. There has to be a peace deal, an off ramp now, and if anyone thinks there aren’t UK forces sneakily there already there then I have a bridge to sell them.

Posters on MN declaiming it “the right thing” to involve our forces in this blood bath should be willing to send their own kids surely? Or is it just for the mainly very working class people who are the major components of our forces and who join because there is literally nothing else for them in their small, very often, underfunded, Northern/Midland/Welsh/Scottish towns?

Thank you and your family for your service 🙏🏼 fwiw, I think we should not be sending any more of our service people to Ukraine. Absolutely not.
