This seems to happen quite often, do you guys think we will be their first target when they finally decide to declare war on the world?

They do it to a lot of countries, we may be first though if the government cut back more!

The Russian ambassador to Denmark just let us know that we would be, so, no - don't worry.

If they can't provide basic social care in this country, including NHS, they will have a civil war on their hands or at least a major uprising. Then it won't matter whether we can defend against an implied Russian threat which would have to come through all of our European allies and the US.

Putin's an arse and is desperately grasping to hold onto power. Russia is a failing country with a negative birth rate. Putin hopes that acting tough will do something for the country but it's hopeless. In 50 years Russia will be weaker than most of its satellite states.

mfw I will never be able to be a fighter pilot
mfw I will never intercept a bear and fly formation as I escort it out of friendly airspace

Oh, how much I wish.

Why did Putin even wanted Crimea?
80% goods have to be imported.
100% electricity is imported.
100% of water is imported.
This land consumes more than manufactures, all this for better location for army.

The situation in the UK is fine, get your head out of your ass.

Unemployment rate is 5.7%.

Very true. The only people predicting an insurrection are people on the dole, who are too lazy to do anything.

To lazy to do anything except cause trouble and get hammered before noon.

You idiot, Russia has always done this.

They simply test our deployment reaction times and push the boundaries a bit, and we get a good drill out of it. Stop being a fagget.

>>11
Yes they have always tested but they seem to be doing it every other week recently.

tell me again how can English Channel have any space for international waters???

>>12

its being reported every other week recently

British news is placing an emphasis because of russias involvement in eastern europe.

How fucking naive are you

>>12
And what are you expecting to happen?
A war? In this day and age? Between actual countries? Lol.

A war would amount to the loosing side resorting to a nuke, which would resort to everyone loosing, You aren't seeing that shit unless some 3rd world shit hole with a crazy dictator or some terrorist group get their hands on that shit.

It's just Russia being aspies.

It was off the coast of Scotland which means that it was likely in the North Sea, not the english channel which is south of the UK.
