According to statements made by Air Chief Marshal Sir Richard Knighton, the United Kingdom has not done anything to shift their military strategy or defense posture for the past 30 years. The changing relationship with the United States and NATO now indicates that Britain must formulate a military plan.
According to the concerned military man in charge, institutional Knowledge has been lost, muscle memory diminished, and several years of calm has created a situation where very few in the U.K would know how to respond to a war footing.
(VIA MSM) – […] According to Knighton, the UK is updating its Government War Book, a strategic blueprint not actively maintained since the Cold War, in a ‘modern context, with a modern society, with modern infrastructure.’ He said lessons from that era had been lost over 30 years of relative peace and needed to be relearned.
The updated strategy aims to coordinate the military, police, hospitals, and private industry. The goal is to ensure that the machinery of the state does not grind to a halt in the face of an existential threat. Knighton emphasised that the modern era requires a whole-of-nation approach to national readiness.

The British government has promised to increase their defense budget to 3.5 percent, as soon as they find the money for it. Meanwhile, the British Navy are borrowing ships from Germany to practice on during scheduled U.K led exercises. It would appear; they have a significant issue to overcome.
They do terrorism rather well. They ran the Catholic IRA vs Protestant UVF, UDF terror dialectic for decades. They would even blow up buildings and blame it on the IRA.
Colkitto, you always post the most informative and enlightening info! Thank you!
Colkitto,
To your point,
E.M Burlingame explains what was done in Ireland, and much, much else.
He must be feeling like the good guys are winning, to explain this all in such clear terms.
Sundance, if you have time to spare from drinking from the fire hose, you will connect all the dots that flow from what he says about the first and most important level of information control being the intelligence product inside the Five Eyes, as directed to the special forces operators.
This also connects to the American Cathedral model of power flows, tightest leash on the military (the Castle)
Castle Lock.
This is the first year in which the Castle could be trusted to carry out the orders of the American disruptor, the Commander in Chief. The Year of Action.
I suspect it may be a very “boom” kind of weekend.
Also, it is predictable that at some point there is going to be reverse ninja move on the financial system. At a time of Team Trump’s choosing,
likely.
The discussion is also a helpful frame in assessing current wannabe players in the Middle East and South America, and how they have managed to live quite well for decades with no real job.
I once again propose that the US force the UK to hand over all that Khameini wealth squirreled away in the UK to the families of the dead Marines.
Call it out on Truth Social, Mr. President, and cut Starmer’s reassurance mission off at the legs.

Secret affairs : Britain’s collusion with radical Islam
https://archive.org/details/secretaffairsbri0000curt
Its like they were relying on someone else for all that stuff isnt it?
Love rhe Benny Hill shot but Id have used Dads Army or It Aint “alf Hot Mum.
Naw! I think the Benny Hill pic is perfect!
The idiotic deindustrialization and migration policies are a huge chunk of the problem.
Indicative of for sure…
England (as it used to be called) is a stunning- and condemning- picture of dependency.
At one time, Britains would have thanked Trump for awakening them to their peril.
Now, the Red/Green axis will offer nothing but condemnation.
Let’s not forget mullah Charles helping usher in islam.
The dead Queen is to blame not Charles.
King Charles revealed himself when he ignored the holiest day in Christendom, Easter.
That was a bit of theater by the critics. Elizabeth always gave her Christmas speech. But in 70 years she only gave one Easter speech and that was during covid. Britain needs a real jobs program . Instead of its major industry of royal gossip.
I don’t understand. Who are they going to war against?
their millennium-old native population
Their legacy citizens.
They aren’t exactly sure, besides their own native population that is.
Exactly. The Obiden Ukraine War actually served as a Proxy War on Americans.
And a Western Europe War on Russia would serve as War on Europeans.
Even now, the Nazi Zelensky is depopulating Ukraine so the Evil Empire can repopulate it with Muslims.
ps; this all seems like more WW Redditt play-acting, including the German Ban on men fleeing from the Eastern Front draft.
I don’t doubt that they would like to suck us into a war, however.
The First Lesson of the Cold War they need to relearn:
Don’t become the Evil Empire yourself.
And take “Yes” for an answer.
And with WHAT ????
Russia
They don’t know either.
Having the Brits help in the Gulf is like having a toddler “help” mow the lawn. You have to keep an eye on them so they don’t get hurt while they think they’re helping.
They are going to need a lot of prayer rugs for their new recruits…
I wonder if the citizens had any idea that they had no military to speak of?
There never would have been a VE Day if things then were as they are now. Also goes without saying, but for we Yanks, there wouldn’t have been a VE Day.
As a line from one of my favorite Irish music groups goes:
“For the sake of our conscience, for the sake of our souls
To never more suffer peace without end
Or will we pass silent into the great night?
When all of our sins will lie with the dust?”
I don’t know if they were specifically referencing the crisis that all of Weatern Europe is currently experiencing (the song is from 2015/2016), but I think we can all agree that the endless Pax America that Europe has existed within since the last world war has been extremely corrosive.
Pax Americana was an opportunity for Europeans to rise above themselves. They have largely failed with the exception of a handful of peoples of Eastern Europe.
The irony should not be lost on Western Europe going all in on socialism because America was magnanimous enough to let them take advantage of the strengths of our Nation for so long.
What was once gifted turned into entitlement and a superiority complex.
It was something we never should have given them. It has ruined them; socially, militarily, spiritually. A culture that does not need to fight for itself (or even have the mindset that maybe it may someday have to) ends up, well, like this.
No good deed goes unpunished.
We cannot change the past, but we can change the course ahead of us. Ending the generational dependency is going to have severe withdrawals.
And good times create weak men.
In Starmer’s case, a good speech will do.
This ought to be a good laugh.
Whatever they do, it is a good bet they will make the UK more oppressive for its subjects (especially its historic subjects) than it is even now.
Speaking of subjects….
The actor on “Turn”.
We really enjoyed that series.
Britain used to produce world class series and programs.
Used to…
Yes, same in US.
Thank God for shows like The Chosen.
We are starting to see more faith based movies coming out… slowly.
Thank you for the pics Betsy, you find some goodies ❤️
I’m always on the lookout, girl 😉
Fawlty Towers!
Don’t mention the war!
Betsy, this is unbelievable! Which means it’s true.
BTW, I got it wrong. My answer: “Go back to whatever sh**hole you crawled out of.”
Everything we’ve seen is unbelievable, 88.
Gone….gone…Britain is gone.
How gone?
Defender of the [Protestant] Faith
Ick, that pic is repulsive, isnt it betsy!!! So very sad!
No Easter message, sis.
But this at Windsor Castle.
It’s an abomination.

How could he be so incredibly tone-deaf?
Perhaps a case of latent toxic-shock syndrome? He expressed an interest in being his mistress’ tampon, after all.
Lol
OmG I had not seen that
Are you SERIOUS?
Well, here’s something all those Paki and Moslem invaders can do now….sign them up for UK military duty and send them into battle!
But not against the UK’s legacy citizens…
UK arms them at their peril.
Yikes!
The politicans will need a defense when the population rises up.
So they’re gonna train and arm young Sharia-loving Brits of dubious allegiance?
.What could go wrong?
Jihadists vs Leftist Democrats; what’s the difference?
very few in the U.K would know how to respond to a war footing. Except the millions of muslims that will be only too ready to take up arms, not in the defense of Britain or Europe but as in the sleeper army sent in to destroy them.
Oh, dear. … and Cold War practices are his reference. … “Knighton stated that the UK needs to ‘relearn lessons of the Cold War,’…” ….and when they have those nailed down, they WILL be ready to face 21st century threats.
Who’d a thunk?
In other words, they’re going to increase defense spending to prop up their failing green economy.
A very long way indeed from the days of Agincourt:
“He which hath no stomach to this fight, Let him depart; his passport shall be made, And crowns for convoy put into his purse; We would not share that man’s company That fears his fellowship to die with us.”
Now King Charles the Chicken Liver sets the example.
Maybe he will end up like his first namesake with a bit of luck.
UK admits they’re no help to NATO. News at 11.
This country has nuclear weapons?
Do they know where they are?
Given the state of their Navy one has to consider if their nukes faired much better considering the highly technical upkeep.
Might end up with a bunch of duds that fizzle out short of criticality.
Or a “stay at home” dirty bomb…..
More scary than destructive. A weapon of terror for those who serve the darkness.
They rent their nukes from the US. We also rehab them.
Well then, it sounds like a good time to repo them.
Who will be subject to the draft? All age-appropriate present in the country (citizens plus refugees)? Or just citizens?
Should be interesting to watch …
Their only option would be to surrender.
Britain, without us, can’t credibly fight a war.
Are they going to draft the MOOSLEMS if war breaks out. And how many soy boys are going to be willing to fight?
Depending on the timeline, the question will be — will the Muslims draft the heritage Brits, as it won’t be that long until the Muslims are in complete control.
Freeloading isn’t a defense strategy ? Who knew?
Well, in their defense (ha!) the freeloading strategy has been working well for them, and all our other NATO “allies”, since 1949. Profligate welfare spending at home, while Uncle Sugar picked up the defense tab.
Until now.
Benny Hill…
Accurate and hilarious 😂
Yakity Sax – don’t talk back! 🤣
Ha!!!
Just for you, sis 💕
https://m.youtube.com/shorts/Z8HSXSUiI8o
Always loved Benny!!! 😘
I did, too. He’d be run out of town these days…or brought up on charges 😎
They even named the HMS Dragon after their Chinese Owners.
I thought it was named after Puff the magic one.
HMS Drag-queen
I case you didn’t know drag queen humor has always been a part of the British military.
Yea, they’ve always been on the edge…..
Booze beatings and buggery in the army. Rum the lash and buggery in the navy.
Luckily, they’ve got all those brilliant, hard-working, grateful, military-age males pouring across their borders.
With their can-do spirit, their willingness to roll up their sleeves in gratitude for all their adopted land has provided them, they’ll be ready for whatever task needs doing.
Whether it’s continuing their day jobs curing cancer or fine-tuning space travel, their willingness to help their neighbors, their self-discipline and refinement, their hardwired wish to NEVER be a burden, and yes, their willingness to take up arms, these vibrant new-comers are an answer to Britain’s prayer rug prayers.
Praise be to allah!
Jeb! ??
Is that you?
The Rhodesians told them to go pound salt. Bunch of traitors.

“as soon as they find the money for it”😂😂😂
Good one Sundance!
How in the world was the UK able to provide any security to the Straight of Hormuz shippers to secure the insurance that Lloyd’s of London was collecting? The more I read about it, the whole thing looked like another skimming operation, just keeping Iran in power as the eternal “bad guy” security threat.
Answer: The UK didn’t provide any security.
And yes, it was a good racket while it lasted wasn’t it?
Not just the Brits-think of the wailing in DC when Soleimani was taken out by PDJT
Even Israel backed out of that operation.
Interests friend, there are always interests involved.
“The British government has promised to increase their defense budget to 3.5 percent, as soon as they find the money for it”
Good luck. Trump’s run-amok government services corporation has run up quite a tab for the unauthorized Iran fiasco that the corporate HQ will have to pay. The lawful American government of The United States of America (unincorporated) said “No.”

So, the U.K. is fixin’ to get ready?
They are investigating the steps that must be taken to plan for the phases required to attain the wherewithal to become capable of defending themselves.
You could write for a new series of Yes Minister, be a hit for sure until they come and arrest you for exposing the truth.
Sucks to wake up one morning and realize your trust fund party has run dry.
How did British men become so soft, so quickly?
Surely their “new Muslim residents” must be integrated into their forces, else serious civil problems develop. The same can be said about the new US “automatic draft registrations” due to go into effect next year for our “new immigrants”!
The state of the UK proves the Monarchy is nothing more then a free loader and completely worthless while allowing a once great country to turn to complete detritus.
Nothing comes close to the comic genius of Benny Hill.
Until they understand that a net zero carbon footprint is not compatible with the viability of their country, not withstanding a growing population of never going to assimilate immigrants, they can make all the plans they desire because it’s just an exercise in absurd wishful thinking hitting the wall of reality.

We should offer asylum to British subjects with clean records and a solid work history if they want out of Londinstan.
I lot of really good guys over there want out.
I want to see a voting record too.
These people are nuts. They don’t understand that their enemy is internal. The kingdom is long gone.
True. Unfortunately we are not all that far behind.
We sit here, laugh and judge. The problem is, we’re about 10yrs behind them and nobody realizes it. Yes we have a great military, until another psych dem gets in. We’ve been invaded just like them!
How far the empire on which ‘the sun never sets’ has fallen.
How embarrassing is this, that a country that once ruled the waves, has for several decades unashamedly freeloaded off America, expecting them to come to their rescue if needed. It has only been President Trump figuratively shaking them by the scruff of their necks to open their eyes to the parlours state successive governments have allowed the UK to fall. And that goes for Europe as well.
“Peace has cost you your strength. Victory has defeated you.” -Bane
The Nato countries are acting like the spoiled brats raised by the ultra-rich people!
It’s time to cut them loose!
Lots of things I do not understand…
“The United Kingdom has not done anything to shift their military strategy or defense posture for the past 30 years.”
They sure have, right in front of our eyes….with Immigration.
Why Iran did not just bow and Appease to the US…and wait for the lefties to come into power again in beyond me…why the need for war when the Country of England/France will be toppled from WITHIN and their hands will be right on the nukes with out a single bullet fired… What’s the plan for that?

I wonder if charles the weanie is the least bit embarrassed by the exposure of his military’s “readiness”?
The interview with the air chief marshall shouldve made him want to crawl under a rock to hide in shame.
Charles is working on supporting his fellow muslims.
A sad tale of the lessons a dependent child must learn when daddy kicks them out of the nest.
Briton needs to retake London from Pakistan first.
