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.
Quite something to see how far these European countries have fallen! London and Paris were beautiful cities that I’ve loved visiting in the past. Won’t even bother going now.
The thing about Europe falling is it’s a CHOICE.
If it wasn’t for President Trump we’d be following in Europes folly.
For GENERATIONS NATO has been an excuse to outsource the Defense of of Europe, it made sense with the Soviet Union, now it doesn’t especially with Ukraine.
Withdrawing from NATO and letting Europe learn to defend itself might awaken the Europe to the reality that Hippies who go out at night with only Hearts full of Peace and Love get mugged at night by folks who don’t give a crap.
Nice analogy.
How about LA and SF. Defiant is right, if it was not for Trump we would probably have caught up and passed the EU.
I’ve watched the old videos online of European cities. Well mannered Europeans walking the streets, well dressed and polite. Now it’s third world in these European cities, brought by the political left through mass immigration.
I was in London two summers ago. Ubering to Victoria station, the young driver(an arab) mentioned that the street bordering Buckingham Palace is known locally as “Arab Street”. The road had been totally taken over.
Homeland Security posts an important message and video, ” These are the consequences of importing the third world.
Do not look away “

That coward piece of filth, Starmer, represents what the Brits have become over the past few decades. His position as P.M. also indicates the mindset of a majority of the the British electorate to elect a creep like this to office……it pains me to “say” this. As a U. S. Naval Flight Officer (ret.), I have had, for most of my life, great respect for Great Britain and especially it’s navy. As I type this, to my left, in an old bookcase are several volumes of British (and U.S.A.) naval history and I’ve read them all. As the U. S. advances, in most respects, the British muslimized English are finished.
The majority here certainly didn’t vote for him. In 2024 Starmer got 33.7% of the vote on a turnout of 59.7%. So in fact he only got around 20% of all eligible votes. He won by default as centre right and right leaning voters stayed home to punish the Conservatives who had let the country down so badly and they had no alternative; well they do now in Reform who have topped every opinion poll for the last 14 months. Starmer’s poll ratings have been in the toilet almost since day one. In a poll last week over 2/3rds of Brits who responded said they want him to resign and for a general election.
He’s a compulsive liar and gaslighter, an irrelevance on the world stage and his grandstanding is truly nauseating.
It is true we may have passed a tipping point, but we might just have one more chance to turn things around.
We have never had fair Elections, they have ALWAYS been rigged, like every other Nation that accepted “democracy” as their blueprint. Brexit was nearer the mark of 70-30, the IC MSM sold us 52-48.
Like every other Nation that has been F**ked over where democracy has been sold for the good of the Plebs destruction has followed.
Fortunate for the US and the rest of the World DJT stepped in, 🙂
The Crown is to the UK as the mullahs are/were to Iran.
This article did not age well.

UK promised to help defend Greenland from Donald Trump.
We may get Canada before it’s over.
Maybe we’ll declare victory in the war of 1812.
Maybe the Crown needs to pony-up some cash for country.
This state visit by
King Chas is really gonna be interesting.
I posted a few days ago that King Chas may come graveling.
I posted in jest but
Now it looks like a foretelling.
54-40 or Fight! Time to reunite the Point Roberts exclave with the rest of the USA!
The land would be a great asset but not the burden of the left lunatic people. Can’t have one without the other!
And there is the problem. We don’t need to add a ton of California Crazys to the voter rolls.
Canada is a problem. It is Communist.
The western provinces are not communist; it’s mainly Montreal and Toronto.
I’d say let those folks decide which team they want to play for, but it could be a Trojan Horse.
I expect nothing from this visit by “King” Chuck. Pomp and circumstance, drummers drumming, trumpets trumpeting, white gloves, blah-blah-blah.
The Monarchy holds no weight. These people don’t even put on their own shoes.
Chuck would probably prefer to stay at home and eat his oatmeal, with the little berries on them that are just scrumptious, than fly across the pond to have to say hello to the commoners.
Nobody has informed Chuck that the Monarchy died.
It is more than a suspicion that the current “king” Jug Ears Charlie is a moose lime.
He celebrated rammi dann but not Easter.
Are the Falkland Islands in play?
I hope the Argies make their move. It would be hysterical to see England try to defend them without US help.
Absolutely!! I have a running bet with my family that the Falklands will be joined with Argentina within no less than 18 months.
Argentina this past week made a pact with Chili for their help in regaining them.
I spent 3 years in the UK in grad school (yes I was the OLDEST student in the entire school) and watched as Tony Blair dismantled the armed services.
Are you aware that Putin is now running his oil tankers through the English Channel even tho “forbidden” by the Brits since the start of Ukraine???
There are 2 Russian naval ship positioned over the transatlantic cable as well!! Putin literally laughed and said the Brits can’t stop rubber rafts of refugees landing much less interfere with his ships.
Cut the cable and the UK’s financial system collapses. In finance, transaction speed is paramount.
Next, Russian special forces dress up like bobbies and assassinate a bunch of UK muslim leaders.
The End.
Trump is a big supporter of the President of Argentina so it would not surprise me if Argentina makes a move.
Judging by what I see being said by young English men online about wanting to leave the UK, being angry about the muslim invasion, saying their grandfather’s shouldn’t have bothered to fight WWII, etc., I don’t think they could draft enough men to have a war footing.
QueerStammer falling over himself next to the king and prince to fawn and fall over the muslim horde overtaking their country(men).
Pathetic cucks!!!
How many remember Desert Storm when our troops walked right through Iraq and the Brits were stuck in some small town forever and never got anywhere, I laughed at it every day. This didn’t just start, they’ve been pansies for a long time.
Same on D-Day + 30.
I’m not interested in the Caliphate of England any more.
The Marshall Plan is OVER euroweenies!
🤝✝️🤝❤️🫵
If it wasn’t for Uncle Sam they’d be speaking German but their insanely stupid Islamic destiny is being fulfilled just the same. It’s time to cut them loose you can’t keep helping those who won’t help themselves.
sharing command with Montgomery almost F*%#ed that up.
Dear Keir, here is an idea that will greatly improve the United Kingdoms military posture as well as its overall outlook. Draft up plans for a mandatorily Draft of illegal aliens followed by a Draft of non-UK immigrants. Under these plans establish Press Gangs to help the less enthusiastic.
Those used to be called “foreign legions.” They worked, too. The parasitic trash never could hack it in the legion – most wouldn’t even try – but those who were truly willing could earn their citizenship through military service.
The British leaders are steering a rudderless ship.
It’s a shame, but the Left has control over the country.
It’s possible they can gain control of the ship, but many voters will need to come together even to begin the process of getting things under control.
The country was starving after WWII. They immediately went full socialist and never looked back.
If Western Europe hadn’t gone socialist after WW2 the communists would have taken over every country. The Soviet plans money and people were all in place in every West Europe country except for Spain. Britain the entire upper civil service was run by upper class university graduate communists. The Americans prevented a communist government in Italy. Anti communist DeGualle and the Catholics fought a mini civil war in southern France against the communists . Killed about ten thousand of them. Socialism was necessary. Look at the Soviet takeover of Eastern Europe. Soviet long term Oman’s money weapons agents in place. It didn’t just happen. Look at what George Soros accomplished BLM riots support of George Floyd. Now the well funded well organized well paid anti ICE rioters. And Boasberg and other judges overturning deportation orders. Those judges are the result of communist anti America anti White race indoctrination in law schools for 90 years. Those American no money down for veterans houses thirty dollars a month mortgage payments out of $150 a month take home pay were socialism. Worst thing after a war is when the veterans and their weapons and skills come home to poverty and hunger. They either become bandits or organize themselves and overthrow the government
The UK military is a joke. In addition, they’ve allowed a 3rd World Invasion with a goal of Conquest of the Heathen Countries. What could go wrong?
I’d love to see all the Muslim and Africans forcibly drafted. Assault and battery murder manslaughter rape extortion theft inability to learn mechanics & clerical work refusal to obey orders havoc and destruction Hopefully they do the same to officers including generals and colonels as they did to the working class all these years. Rule Brittania can’t even enforce the laws in African Muslim areas.
Seems to me that if they are drafted, they will be trained in the mechanics of war at the government’s cost. They hold no allegiance to Great Britain and could easily become an armed, trained force able to act on their crazy Mullah’s orders. Not a good idea, IMHO.
The entirety of the UK is now toast. Or is that milquetoast?
Hopefully the Irish will arm up and rebel.
The WEF blocks any hope for Ireland. Very, very sad situation.
And tea!
“Paper Tiger” doesn’t quite cover it anymore for these effete old European dinosaurs.
Is “Chiffon Tiger” taken?

😂 😂 😂
The UK and the rest of Western Europe will “transition to war footing” soon enough. That will be when the Islamists take full control and subjugate the remaining infidels.
Great Britain, or maybe Lesser Britain, gutted since The Great War!
They sent all the real men off to die in two world wars. All that was left behind were the cucks.
America sends men beyond the moon and back to earth
The UK majority Muslims screw goats and rape young girls
The state of the mad mad world in a nutshell.
I’m so glad Trump stopped Keir Starmer’s lunatic Chagos Islands deal
BREAKING: Keir Starmer has dropped the Bill to hand over the Chagos Islands to Mauritius after Donald Trump withdrew his support
@PolitlcsUK
8h
The Bill underpinning the deal will not be included in the King’s Speech next month The Government will attempt to persuade Trump to change his mind

ROFLOL
Strategy can be brilliantly developed, but without manpower and resources, it is worth no more than a good read.
Militarily, the UK will very likely remain a paper kitten.
This depressing state of affairs is proof that the “Coalition of the Willing” was always bluster and nonsense. The only boots on the ground in Ukraine that Britain or any Western European country ever had any intention of actually deploying were American. How could it be otherwise, now that the true depth of lack of readiness has been revealed?
You must consider that even though even the Red State school systems actively teach against private gun ownership,, that a large section, probably not a majority, but still considerable, of the US publice, grew up owning guns.
There probably isn’t even a percent of the British people that have ever seen a gun in person, let alone handled one.
Where would they get recruits with the aptitude to train for this “War Footing”?
The once great sea power of the world, the British Navy is a dried and shriveled husk. Ready to burn into historical insignificance because political leaders and bureaucrats in the U.K. are so inept and corrupt that they believed that there would never be a time when they would not just be given authority to act to solve the worlds problems. They are so globally and strategically inept that they have deluded themselves into believing that they still matter and that other nations still listen when they speak.
As is Canada insignificant .
Also, they are the models for the ‘crats that believe they are elite intellectuals. It happens in Britain first and then sails over here.
I just did a bit of counting.
We have 36 MP’s , at least 3 elected and 12 honorary or appointed city mayors, 2 Government ministers and hundred of local councillors who adhere to the religion of peace in Britain.
Add in many many Marxist people in local and national government and you should be worried about neculear weapons in the hands of the enemy, which included the fake news media and the church of England.
So it’s fine to prepare for war, but against which enemy?
This tin pot did not say.
Trust is a powerful thing. Hard as steel yet as fragile as glass. When intact, great things can be accomplished, spectacular things, heroic things. But when broken, it can never be put back together. NATO broke that trust the United States had with them. That will never be repaired because the next time, we will never know for sure if we can trust them in a crisis situation again. I for one do NOT want to find out. Get out of NATO now. Build relationships with countries that have proven their loyalty like Portugal, Greece, Israel, Hungary. Let the rest of Europe learn to fend for themselves. In hard times it is important to know who your real friends and allies are.
It’s very popular and sort of a given that we make fun of the French in war. However, I actually believe if Britain and France went to war against each other, France would win.
They might need to deal with their oil and petroleum issues.
The Sun has set on the not so Great Empire….
When you spend all your money on welcoming 3rd world migrants, something’s got to be neglected.
The war plan will consist of how to subjugate the proles. That is the war that is coming. I hope Labor loses the battle.
First Germany tries to stop her men from escaping the incompetent government, and now the UK wants to pretend that they’re even capable of assuming a “war footing.” These losers would end up nuked into oblivion before they could finish putting on their makeup. If Starmer wants blood, then he needs to start with a pistol to his own head. That would be a gift to the UK.
Nelson, Kitchener and Churchill are turning over in their graves. Simply astonishing what socialism does to the national consciousness. It’s just ideological dry rot.
Dads Army springs to mind—if, of course they ever managed to reach even that level of competence… which frankly, I doubt.
They have become a Monty Python skit, Two attached
If you visit London you’ll think you’re in the Middle East. The Brits are the new French; lay down arms. I hope Trump pulls our military personnel from several European countries. Americans should be repulsed at the thought of laying down the lives of their sons for Europe ever again. Let them eat cake!
I’d lean towards something more intestinal
When all else fails the Bankers take you to war. I think Gerald Celente said that.
When I fist went to Germany in the 60s, one dressed up to go to town. Same in the UK. Not any more.
Or here in the U.S. It irritates me to see some people wearing pajamas when grocery shopping.
Trump told the EU/UK to spend more money and thought on their militaries but they scoffed. Now they are dead weight to us because not only do we defend their interests but have to suffer their stupid insults. They are brain dead and doing the xactly opposite of what they should do to survive. Suicide writ large. They are so determined to self immolate that we should detach and stand clear and watch them mentally tard out from a safe distance. Once they self destruct they may be easier to talk with, but who knows, the tard is deep in thise people
Appreciate the information, Sundance. Just shaking my head…
Europe, paper tigers on and all!! Better to spend our military funds here at home than wet nursing Europe!
