Great interview.As an American, I'm so impressed and incredibly jealous by this quality of journalism. We have nothing like this in American mass media.Most Americans have never heard of Estonia or the other Baltic nations( except those whose ancestors came from there) and the Mainstream media doesn't educate them.I consider myself fairly well informed, but I wasn't aware of Estonians fighting in Helmund with the UK. Thank you James and especially Gen.Jones for this wonderful conversation.
👍👏
There’s a thing called the internet. It’s been around for a while now. The problem with the yanks they worship the mainstream media who sits there and read off the screen and gets paid millions. Have a neutral mind don’t be emotional and do your own research . It’s not hard to look into things on the internet, just type in anything and things will come up. Remember war makes money and peace doesn’t. Americans need to leave your country and travel abroad . America is not the only country in the world. Travelling broadens your mind. Don’t stay in hotels go out to the local village and learn their culture and way of life. Trust me it’s safer then what the mainstream media is telling you. Safer than your towns and cities where people are just killing each other.
I'm pretty sure all NATO countries sent some soldiers in Afghanistan. The US invoked Article 5 after 9/11, the only time it has been invoked.
Disband NATO!
@@DJquatermassWow! You're my first
@@DJquatermass Why would anyone in NATO want that, after Russia's aggression. Even most in the US don't want to, considering that the US is the only country to activate Article 5 and demand that the US itself be defended by other countries (after 9/11).
It is a deliberate "LEAK" to make you scared
I think so too. Russians figured out they can get away with everything, they laugh at the west openly.
Or Iraque chemical weapons evidence - credible white somefing in a little bottle .. oh look - scary ! 😂
For sure. Also, it’s foolish to assume that every country hasn’t gamed out a scenario for using them against everyone else. Doesn’t mean they’re gonna do it.
Hey, they removed my comment about little bottle evidence of kemikal Persians 😂 s+ Adam
That is how western intelligence works, propaganda
Just for clarification. Estonia does not border Kalinigrad. Lithuania and Poland does. Kaliningrad was former Germany (Ost Preussen) since the 1200’s. ( did you see that, Putin??)

Take note Putin! A piece or REAL history. 😏
@@pjhgerlach which version??? American, German, Chinese, no such thing as real history just pure propaganda I never read any American history stating that the American Elites like Ford, Rockefellers, IBMs predecessor and more with the American blessing were supporting Hitlers war efforts , did you???
That's right, and Old Prussians were neither Germanic nor Slavic people, they were the Balts, just like Lithuanians and Latvians. Sadly, Germans conquered their land and assimilated them and their beautiful language and culture went extinct 😓
Well yes, though nobody cared to bother about it post WWII . Then most locals left while the russians arrived. So ....
Great interview, glad the Maj. Gen. stood up for General Sanders, the British Army has been the 'poor cousin' when it has come to defence spending in the last 20-odd years.
I think you are missing a zero there; "the British Army has been the 'poor cousin' when it has come to defence spending in the last 200-odd years.", fixed.
Really. So weres scotlands 160 billion England nick from us for war stuff?
@@walkaboutgla I have no idea what you are talking about. The British Army has been the 'poor cousin' to the British Navy and in latter days also to the RAF. Scotland hasn't been shortchanged on defense spending since before the Acts of Union (1707).
The UK has its own internal threats, and they are growing.
@@abdell75roussos no England does an soon there gone anyway son uk doesnt exist it's only in the English minds
Texan here. I thank you, Times Radio, as I benefit greatly from discussions, such as this one, regarding our NATO partners & their POV. Our broadcast/cable news is focused 24/7 on Trump’s legal issues & Biden’s arthritic gait. I would estimate that about 0.5% is actually devoted to British/European domestic & international issues. Thanks for providing more in-depth & pertinent information about your country’s domestic & international issues. I’m truly frightened about what Trump, if elected, might do to the security of our country & that of our allies.
True, apparently Trump is taking after his Uncle Joe.
24:51 As an Estonian I can confirm this is the reasoning we give ourselves for sending our soldiers to those far away wars. Cant expect you to come to our aid if we never helped you in your fights.
This is the same logic Australia used (in my opinion). And Australia isn't even a part of NATO.
Glad you guys are so trusting.
Don't trust us in the UK to keep our word or understand what friendship means Estonia, not at the moment.
We'll get back to remembering who we want to be, eventually. But just at the moment we're acting even more, uhm... *Pragmatic*, let's say, being very kind to ourselves, than usual.
As a Romanian I can confirm that your country's continuous and consistent support to our "sister", Moldova, is noticed and appreciated. And it won't be forgotten.
Isn't the timing of this alleged leak just a little suspicious?
It is , Joeys handlers are trying to get more money laundered through Ukraine back to themselves . Joey has said 70% of the aid goes to the US MIC which means they then donate some back to the US democrat party and politicians.

As a Dane - please lean in. As mentioned: All our artillery, all our f16 planes, anti ship missiles and a lot of other stuff. We have given the 2nd most per citizen (after discussed Estonia) and we dont even have a significant lokal Danish arm production, meaning every single Danish Krone are gone from Denmark and given to the likes of UK, USA, France and other producers. If the producers give arms it is money right back to your own people who work in said arm production. We were in Afganistan and we step up now in time of need. Step up for Gods sake.
I tend to agree. Buying from the US is one thing, actually relying on them for help seems a lot more iffy. More expensive but safer to produce locally.
Jesus, all we're talking about it 155mm ammo, surely any modern country can make some factories to produce it. It's not like building 6th generation stealth fighters, or something. It's literally just ammo.
On December 5, 1994 the leaders of Ukraine, Russia, United Kingdom, and the United States signed a memorandum to provide Ukraine with security assurances in connection with its accession to the NPT as a non-nuclear weapon state. The four parties signed the memorandum, containing a preamble and six paragraphs.
Not entirely true they just agreed to respect the borders of Ukraine
Budapest Memorandum- I wish they had included details in those assurances on how we would respond to an attack on Belarus, Kazakhstan or Ukraine. Unfortunately there is a lot of grey area there.

Slava Ukraini. Love from Scotland
Och aye
Ukraine territory is a whopping 603,628 square kilometers (233,062 sq mi), Russia at one point occupied a total of 161,000 km2 (62,000 sq mi) or almost 27% of Ukraine's territory and some has been librated so now we are down to 119,000 km2
What really gets me is that some ppl. are now saying why does Ukraine not just let Russia have the areas /land it’s just a small part of Ukraine anyway.....
A small part of Ukraine ...WE ARE taking about a land mass is 119,000 km2
In EU terms thats the size of Belgium, Holland, luxembourg all put together..
In UK terms that the size of all of Scotland and 80% of England all put together !!
In US terms is the size of South Carolina, West Virginia all put together !!
Why the f. should Ukraine give Russia all that land for what? TO ONLY be invaded some years later when Russia as had a brake and regrouped ,rebuilt its army and fortified positions !!
I SAY RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND AND DEMAND UKRAINE CAN NOT JOIN NATO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom !!!! ; The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept that Ukraine and its ppl. should become some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda; so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ...
---------It is embarrassing that the US and Europe do not support Ukraine more than they do , the US. were in Afghanistan for 20 years and achieved less than Ukraine in 2 years, and Ukraine is also a much stronger opponent with many more resources !! As a Norwegian I am ashamed of our policies in the west , the western nations governments use every opportunity to go on national TV and tell how much they support, but the truth is that we have only provided 94 Euros per inhabitant, it is ridiculous when we look at the size of Ukraine, the opponent and the way Russia has bombed cities in Ukraine back to the Stone Age, and that we (western nations ) have not lost a single person in the war , we are talking about Europe, democracy and freedom that Ukraine is defending , one can only be ashamed
Agree
Absolutely.. it is embarrassing.. one Estonian here..
I agree on everything, especially the NATO part.
Europe want stability? Prove that some crazy dictators can't just do whatever they wants.
Europe need to rebuild strong Ukraine to prevent future escalations, but it is impossible without security guarantees. Not from talks and negotiations with Russia - those have proven to be worthless so many time that is is a joke now, but from NATO.
For Ukraine to be part of the NATO is the only way to establish lasting peace.
"A poll released by the Kiev Institute of Sociology, with data gathered from 8-16 April, 41.1% of people in Donetsk were for decentralisation of Ukraine with powers transferred to regions, while letting it remain a unified state, 38.4% for changing Ukraine into federation, 27.5% were in favour of secession from Ukraine to join the Russian Federation, and only 10.6% supported current unitary structure without changes"
"An opinion poll that was taken on the day of the referendum and the day before by a correspondent of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, The Washington Post, and five other media outlets found that of those people who intended to vote, 94.8% would vote for independence. The poll did not claim to have scientific precision, but was carried out to get a basis from which to judge the outcome of the referendum, given that independent observers were not present to monitor it. Even with those who said they would not vote counted in, a 65.6% majority supported separation from Ukraine"
"Ukraine Lists NBC News Reporter on Ukrainian Government HIT LIST After He Reports that Most Crimeans are Pro-Russia NBC reporter Keir Simmons from England recently traveled to Ukraine and Crimea to cover the War on Ukraine."
When Zelensky was asked on ABC news " Are you arming a resistance behind Russian lines?" He replied " No those people are fighting with the Russian against us for their freedom"
This whole thing about referenda is Russian propaganda, and a total ploy and such utter nonsense. Let’s just say for example, that there was a referendum conducted in England where X portion /population of the country wanted to join Russia? The solution? Move to flubbing Russia!!! 👊
Ukrainians doesnt normaly fall back. They gave Advijika because West couldnt provide wepon and ammo quick enough so Putin can easly adapt to that lack of action from west, Putins first important victory
A military analysts on the other hand, see getting Advika as a trap because they fell back to higher grounds where they can shoot the Russians as fishes in a barrel on open lower ground lands.
@@TheHighlanderprimeCOPEnhagen!
it's more like the americans going back on their word to support Ukraine. as most of the west (i.e.) Uk Germany, France, Sweden and many other countries are supporting Ukraine with weapons. It's only america that's dragging it's feet yet again and letting down Ukraine
@@worldwide8587 He's half wrong and half right. Losing Avdiivka is a loss for Ukraine, full stop. However, it was surrounded on three sides by the Russians and hold little strategic value. It only had a population of 30k before the war started.
In a war of attrition, which seems to be what this is, or is becoming, it makes sense for Ukraine to pull back to better fortified positions. Russia did the same during Ukraine's "spring offensive" and it worked.

My reading of Macro's ideas is that he is thowing ideas that may get Putler worried - the West has been pretty shy of winding him up but some potential to worry may help get Rissia to think again - no bad thing.
He thought about & now he is moving the nuclear tipped missles across the country.Now we know thats just a threat but thats the answer to Macron.Notice today everyone started back peddling.
@@larrydean6550 Can you clairfy "back peddling"? I don't believe any NATO countries agreed with Macron's suggestion from the start. No one has back peddled. Russia was moving nuclear armed missles around about a year ago.
I doubt Putin lost any sleep.
They have prepared for just that very thing !!!
They had best think this involvement all the way through !!!
Rather then jump in like the Sanctions...
Putin: "Hold my pivo.
'shy of winding him up' Im sure Putin was chuffed about the US coup in 2014
I think this 2% thing is good but on the other hand it’s nonsense.some countries need to contribute 5% or whatever . The point being is that each member has its own niche in supplying arm . Some countries can supply lots more 155mm shells because frankly they don’t need them & properly never will , like Denmark .NATO needs to be looking at WHATEVER Ukraine needs is what they all should be looking at & what they have NOW!!! , not in the future or hypothetical scenarios of what they will be able to do. 1 million 155mm shells as an example!! It didn’t happen, but the Czech have 800k available, so what’s the hold up 😡 Nato needs to get more focused on what they can do immediately. Not what they might be able to do . The USA will come through eventually but let the EU focus on what we need to stop Russian aggression now and defend what Ukraine 🇺🇦 has!!
The Czech DON'T have 800K of shells. They've located a large amount of shells in other countries that the EU could buy.
I really doubt the USA will come trough. Putin's agents have a strong hold on the Republican party.
I don´t know where you get your "info", but something is not right. Why should Czech Military have 800000 155mm shells available ??? When The dont have 155mm Howitzers, But 152mm SPGH-M77 "Dana" Howitzers ???. When "Big" Nato countries like Germany,France and UK has so littel 155mm Ammo? After sending a few hundred thousand ? And Even US is Quite low and had to Borrow Ammo from S Korea,Israel then Everybody is realy at critical low leavels. So its not correct and just wishfull thinking. A 155 mm Shell would not fit and fire from a 152mm Barrel. Iam a 155mm Artillery Man.
... the US didnt have to borrow anything... we had that already pre-,positioned in those countries just like a squirrel hides their nuts in different places before winter. We have them like that all over the world. @@mabuhayproductionltd3627
The problem is the US does not want the Europeans to up their defence spending, they want min of 2% that is it. If the Europeans did up their defence spending to 5% + that would be a direct challenge to US hegemony. The Europeans have the economic and technical base to do that, the US knows this. The US cannot dictate economic terms to Europe, as the latter is independent of the US in that regard, hence the importance of the EU. Many dismiss the importance of the EU, but it is a major world player in terms of economic power. The US hates this hence constant trade wars. If the European nations did created a EU based defence force it would seriously challenge the US, it would be far more of a challenge than China is now.

US spending is prolonging the war and resulting in Ukraine being decimated and its people dying as pawns for the west’s greed. Wake up.
We need to be ramping up arms procurement, army recruitment etc - this is our 1938 situation and we know we don't have a lot of time to get ready!
Speak for yourself lol
1938 was 1938 that’s how time 🕰️ works, it only occurs once.
You want us to ramp up production of arms 😂
1) ramping up production of arms WILL put Putin on a war footing
2) it would take literally a decade or more to get our armed forces to a level where we had enough artillery to withstand an incursion.
3) good luck getting the youth of today to fight willingly for this country
4) where’s the money coming from?
5) stop war mongering and believing everything you see in msm about Putin
Why dont world leaders all just grow up. instead of constantly threatening one another. Come together to make this a world worth living in.
just look up God wrote his word a long time ago and it ends where it began. When I look around every event that shall take place in the end is happening in front of my eyes
Russia has been playing the nuclear blackmail card since the days of Stalin.
Putin is pulling the same old worn-out games
Superb analysis by Maj. Gen. Jones as always 👍
If I saw a correct translation Macron never called for NATO troops he called for troops from Western countries possibly, there is a subtle difference. UK not having a National Guard is crazy, especially when your military is so pathetically small at 72,000 which is just crazy.
We have Reserve Forces' that is what you would class as a National Guard
So Putin is accusing the west of ganging up on Russia,while he's been building up his military for the last 20 years. Military production and defence spending hasn't exactly been the priority of European countries.
It is dangerous disaster when the monster is power leader
Get the Ordance factories 🏭 working
Very interesting discussion. One only can imagine why EU, NATO, and US do not provide a real support to Ukraine. Everyone understands Ukraine is bleeding and desperately need help. What if Ukraine at some point looking on the amount of help from the west will decide, that the fight doesn't make any sense? What if Ukraine will understand, that they will not be accepted into EU and NATO? What if Ukraine will decide to join Russia in fight against Europe and NATO? Can the European polition understand that in this case Russian and Ukranian armies, two armies with huge experience, will be in front of NATO? Where these two armies will stop? In Poland, Germany, Portugal?
I think US, NATO, and European politicians in very dangerous place. What is really bad, they don't understand it!
This comment precisely nails the dilemma. It transcends such short-term thinking we see from individual nations. The U.S. has its ridiculously myopic domestic problems and European nations seem to not see the full potential and likely danger on the horizon if Ukraine falls.
Oh, they do. Y'all live on borrowed time, subhumans.
Nato has been forcing russians to return to putin from europe. Nato is forcing ukrainians to accept putin's terms. Instead of preventing the big future war, nato is helping the other side. Not even mentioning un directly supplying terrorists in gaza

If UK citizens are directed to be far more involved in military matters in future, the UK government should expect a correlating much greater interest in foreign policy and military deployment decisions compared to how it has been. As long as they're prepared for the UK to be far more restricted in its military involvements overseas like our European neighbours tend to be. Currently, the UK population generally tend to leave foreign policy matters to the government. Asking citizens to be stakeholders in the military would bring with it very close scrutiny by the public in future.
Stakeholders is a word used by globalists . I think a lot of people have caught on to the fact these wars are banker and corporate wars and who in their right mind want to die for those people

I think Macron's position was a show posturing a possibility, like sounding a bell before times up. While it might not apply to the circumstance, the message was to forewarn of something more than the present but possibly less than the boots on the ground that was spelt out: like long range weapons (ATACMS & similiar) with unrestrained use for not putting boots on the ground.
As an American I am so ashamed of our Republican Party which is stalling on helping Ukraine. It is better to stop Putin now then when he has rebuilt the USSR!

Army centric. Britain is a maritime power and needs naval capabilities. Air defence capability too. No need for big armies (and lots of Generals).
Uk has growing internal threats, i wonder what that costs?
Give Ukraine back their nuclear weapons if your not going to defend them. Both US and UK are disgraceful liars
There is a more serious and realistic issue with respect to the involvement of NATO member countries. If Russia makes significant further advances into Ukraine. Then if the US is still AWOL then it is quite likely that some countries, such as the Baltic States might send their military in to support Ukraine. At this point these countries put themselves outside of ‘article 5’ protection, and Putin might respond directly against them. This would cause the fragmentation of NATO and severely damage NATO deterrence- therefore it is a scenario that Putin might actually want ….
Poland could find a "russian" excuse to intervene the war. Then when russia retaliates, Poland can use article 5
An attack on one is an attack on all so nato will respond regardless of what were the prior circumstances..
Do you think Russia has army to deal with that ? Maybe use nuclear but regular army Russia is very poor
I agree. Khuilo is desperate to justify his rhetoric - like every Dictator before him!
In case the baltic states help Ukraine with troops and putin orders attacks on them i very much doubt nato will just stay idle
AUDIO TOO LOW, REPOSTION THE CAMERA AND QUIT LOOKING DOWN, WE ARE NOT THERE?????????
It's corridor of uncertainty, not zone
My next child will be called Article Five.
Chief of the Defense staff should start looking for a new job - no apology is needed.
This is not private matter when our sons will be on the line.
Maj. Gen. Rupert Jones is a very clever man.
Audio - is deafening quiet.
Turn it up then.
Times Radio always has an issue with this
deafeningly quiet. Stellar oxymoron, a big congratulations to you.
WHAT? SPEAK UP!!!!
I hear this often but never have a problem with it. I watch it on an iPad.
These ads barging in suddenly are so irritating. Makes me want to give up UA-cam completely...

The question is were these plans leaked on purpose?
This general has much war experience, really well analyzed and articulated.
Which war did he fight?
😅
USA 🇺🇸 MUST support Ukraine 🇺🇦
How many majestic retreats does it take to make even a little victory?
It is still worth pointing out that when the UN Security Council was set up comprising the Big 5 - Nuclear weapons were defence not first strike so in effect all agreed that on that basis they would never be used.
Because Britain does not have a battle ready division, perhaps British media could keep the public aware of what Britain's instant commitment should be if NATO's article 5 was enacted, and could Britain sustain that commitment over a long period of time. In short try to influence government to make Britain ready for such an eventuality.
"leak"??? R U serious?
Now although on the surface Russia is making, and although I am not a military expert, it seems to me that the noises coming from the Kremlin are not that confident. I think they were hoping Ukraine would stand and fight for every inch so that Russia could bring their material superiority to bear. Ukraine is indeed in trouble, but they have also made the Russian army pay horrendous costs in men and machinery. I sense that the Russian command is not actually that keen in engaging in the hit-and-run combat tactics that Ukraine has switched to.
Also look at the targets Ukraine is going for outside the front lines. They are hitting the Russian air force and economy hard, which is a worrying thought for an advancing army dependent on growing supply lines. The targets Ukraine is going for are following a definite pattern that is not one of desperation or panic. Ukraine has learnt to resist fighting the kind of war that Russia wants. We did not see the usual massive surge of boastful propaganda after Avdiika fell, but instead the suicide of a Russian mil blogger who exposed the huge losses and bad command structure of this operation.
This is not the first time in this conflict that Ukraine has been at a considerable dis advantage in one way or another. But at the same time, they are inflicting structural losses on the Russian war machine that are hard to make up. They hint that when Ukraine does finally receive the supplies it needs the things that Russia has previously relied upon, such as air superiority and Naval support, are no longer such a threat.#
Russian political espionage antics in the US have mostly been revealed and as much they have had a dangerous effect on the frontlines, They will not deliver the knock-out blow Putin wants. The economic situation in Russia is beginning to worry the Kremlin. It will also have a wake-up effect on Europe. I may be wrong, but I have been watching this conflict closely, and I have a hunch not everything is well in the Russian camp. Putin will make increasingly rash and spontaneous moves that will not bring about the results he thinks they will. His hope for a Trump presidency are looking less and less likely, and the Americans are waking up to the threats within their establishments. It is a tough, painful time for Ukraine, but I would not write them off too soon. There is more going on here than it seems and while they are losing some ground much of it is full of Russian corpses.
Slava Ukraini Glory to the Heroes
Ukraine is trashing Russian logistics, Black Sea naval fleet, fighter jets, military kit factories, fuel and ammo depots - great job, I’d say❣️
Very interesting post. At some point, the Russians are going to wake up to the casualties. The Tucker interview didn't mention causalities on either side.
Even if Trump wins, and Ukraine has to give up some territories, it will be a loss for Russia. Ukraine might be forbidden from joining NATO, but the whole East flank of Europe will be reinforced against future Russian attacks.
I will be surprised it Ukraine falls completely, unless the West gives up all support.
I 100% agree our defence spending is ridiculously low for the role we are trying to play in global politics. But what i want to know is what is our actual goal in Ukraine? Because right now we're being told our best case scenario is Ukraine trying to hold the line for the whole of 2024 while under constant shelling in the hope we come up with some miracle plan for a Ukrainian counter offensive in 2025. Sounds to me like the Great War taught us nothing and we're just gonna allow it all over again! Why isnt everyone demanding an immediate end to hostilities what even is the UN at this point?
The artillery comparison is a red herring. Precision weapons more than make up the difference. Slava Ukraine.
how so ? i agree to a certain extent this is why Ukraine is concentrating on single use attack drones , which is a precision weapon, however when you have barrels and no rounds , thats wasted force.
It's not that simple. You do realise who this gentleman is, right?
@@RobertoEarnywho I thought he meant 1 precision shell on target is better than 6 rounds from a russian barrel off target. So total shells fired don't tell the whole story.
Are we still thinking Ruscist Ruzzia is strong. 😂
I see fascism is strong in Russia but history has shown that fascism is always defeated.
@@pjhgerlachlmao
Only a fool will think 1 Russia against over 30 countries supporting and training Ukraine troops is weak.... let alone the fact that they have enough nukes to destroy everything on Earth.
Most of the world does, but the brainwashed British commoners clearly don't. How about volunteering to the frontline in Ukraine and checking it out?
@@pjhgerlach
Over 500 bases all over the world!
That is what i call fascism
I agree, I think it would be good if the UK introduces conscription.
He is so right if Britain could somehow get back to a point where they could provide a combined arms division then that would help out the entire European continent for sure.
This is better than a any soap opera😂😂😂❤
Biscuit and a nice brew always works a treat
Very Good interview.
Tactical nukes 🤣..... What's tactical about a damn nuke.
"leaks" or faked statements to instill fear
100% bs narrative
@KiltedJock1 Wakey wakey, propaganda no doubt put out by the West.
No, nothing is fake, unfortunately. You will be surprised to know that situation is thousand times more worse than what you are hearing now.
Many western nations are understanding we are not properly prepared military Vs our opposition. We have the money to spare, we are just too slow to adjust to the situation in front of us.
I'm not a warmonger or scare monger, just very aware of Russian and Chinese actions and what that means for us in the west.
I would not call that a win for Russia for finally taking Avdiivka. Look how long it took, look how many personel, apcs, equipment, and tanks they lost just to take that sized amount of land.
Just coincidence that this comes out the same day Russia took two more towns.
What towns?
@@global.citizens Another 10 years at that rate, they'll have half of Ukraine.
Putin would have to do a nuclear first strike in Europe to survive
So ridiculous. In WW2, Canada alone produced 325,000 artillery shells per week.
Agreed. Even in the US they are firing up really, REALLY old factories just to produce a few 10,000s. How hard is it to build an artillery factory? We've been using the damned things since WW1, it can't be *that* hard.
Agree with comments from by Rupert Jones from about 15 minutes that there needs to be a proper open mature debate in the UK about geopolitical risk, looking beyond the immediate future. Proper planning requires considering risks over much longer periods of 10 years plus. If NATO members wait until something bad is about to happen, that will be too late to do anything. If the UK government tries to limit such a debate, for fear of 'scaring the horses,' then there will not be a proper understanding of risk and necessary precautions to prevent more wars. The NATO guideline of 2% of GDP on defence is absurdly low. The UK armed forces have been cut to tiny levels especially the army.
We are creating the risk that you think we need to prepare for? Wake up.
2% GPD as a minimum seems reasonable, if spent correctly. The problem is, most countries spend on the wrong things. The lack of basic artillery shells is telling.
But not many countries spend more. Even the US is only about 3.2%.
All have a safe journey God bless
No
