@123mandalore777 As a soldier, reserve now who has served in the RAF too, and an OSCE registered member, your analysis is extremely good and to the point.

@DanHart10 I could not agree more, the answer is greed, lust for power, control, profit, personal aggrandisement and sheer evil imho. Stay safe, stay wise, all the best , peace is the only way forward.

@jellojiei6061 Both would be incorrect.

@richardpeachey1103 As a soldier myself i can tell you categorically that they are not a joke, or a paper tiger, and to underestimate them is a fatal mistake.

@yogiguitar1 They do not care, it will be up to people forming local defence groups to do it.

@steveb890 it does not stop him being right when he is actually an expert. Anything else is irrelevent.

@123mandalore777 Considering most enemies do not apply the Geneva Convention anymore, you would most likely be tortured and butchered, no point surrendering, fight harder and you stand a chance to escape. Your ADF interviewer is an idiot. The SAS would shout contact open fire and then shoot and scoot, breaking away to a pre determined RV or Rendezvous. A larger patrol could follow the same contact drills. If the ADF have officers like that then God help Australia. I worked for the oz government for a year in the UK and those normal guys, by then quite elderly, had seen service in Vietnam and other areas later, they would have fought even at their age. Real bonzer blues mate. Tarroo, stay safe and wise mate.

There are a lot of soldiers from all the Commonwealth countries in the British forces, many from Fiji, not to mention the Gurkhas, and even in the SAS. The forces are small but not as small as people think.

@DanHart10 Russia is not our enemy, the enemy is already within, and we would need half our defences or more to defend the homeland before committing to NATO roles. Sweden joined NATO pledging to be part of the defence, yet cannot even handle the mslm and other criminals within their nation, there is the pattern for the future in Sweden too.

@HymnfortheDudes The hypocrisy is that the west started this, about 40 nations supplying the nazis in Ukraine, for 8 years before Russia got involved in conflict and maybe 2 helping Russia. I am OSCE registered this was all started by Biden and Nuland etc in 2014 involving a racist, ethnic cleansing, genocide against Russian ethnic citizens of Ukraine which amounts to mass war crimes and terrorism against civilians. The democratically elected leader was forced out and replaced by a nazi riddled illegal regime, the people of eastern Ukraine supported the democratically elected leader, the legal leader.

@GegeDxD I agree and this is mainly about the west particularly the USA and greed, control and profit for them from the resources in Ukraine, with the UK and EU hanging on the tails of the morons who started this, Biden and Nuland and are supporting proven nazis in Ukraine.

@HymnfortheDudes Ukraine NEVER had nuclear weapons of its own, they belonged to the USSR and were inherited by the Russian Federation after the USSR ceased to exist. I suggest you do some research and you will find that Russia/Putin tried to avoid this for 20 years by diplomacy. From 2014 to date the Ukraine nazis have been carrying out a racist, genocidal, ethnic cleansing of Russian heritage citizens of Ukraine, all of which are war crimes. It was only in 2022 that Russia started the SMO to help aid those being butchered, that is after 8 years of murder by Ukraine. In 2014 the nazis in Odessa burned to death 48 people, they glorify a nazi ww2 butcher called Stepan Bandera who murdered 115,000 or more people, Zelanazisky himself glorifed a nazi Waffen SS veteran in Canada as a hero. I am registered with OSCE and have seen the real truth about all this and not the BS stuffed into people's eyes , ears and brains by msm and government since 2014. The west started this not Russia. By the way i am Brit not a Russian or Russian troll, i beleive that truth matters more.

@Alejandrica They get nothing for free you can guarantee that everyone will want their money back, while Zelenazisky makes money people die hideously for NOTHING.

@marshalljulie3676 True

@garyyoung3179 No, the NATO proxies in Ukraine, installed by Biden and Nuland, when he was vice President (after Hunter had been involved there too before 2014) began a racist, genocidal, terroristic, ethnic cleansing, illegal, war criminal attack on civilians in the east. One of the nazis first acts was to burn to death 48 people in Odessa, a city founded by the Russian Tsarina Catherine the Great, So for 8 years Putin tried diplomacy then finally had to act militarily. So yes there was and is a major threat from NATO to Russia, as it has been to Libya, Syria, Jugoslavia, etc for decades. A so called defensive alliance that began attacking. OSCE reports from 2014 show that to be true. The west is openly supplying, financing, supporting, arming and aiding targeting including on civilian areas the nazis in Ukraine's illegal regimes and have done so since 2014-2022 and 2022-date. Our taxpayers money is being used to aid nazis.

@123mandalore777 They were trained in Pakistan and other areas, they are not untrained in any way and their weapons are not rusty or old either.

@watershedmetal2 I am well aware of that i am amongst other roles a trained soldier, formerly RAF and later Army, and a medical professional. I am certain also that Russia has a hell of a lot more older vehicles they can use before they waste their best kit. Back in 2014 it was a Military Balance view that they had 21,000 tanks as well as masses of other vehicles. One of their tactics was to adapt older tanks and fit them for radio control as decoys, part of Maskirovka and sound battle tactics, and to do recon roles without crews. One of our senior instructors who is now very senior, said to us "never underestimate, never assume, never presume, never jump to conclusions, and when you think you are right, you will find out you are wrong, that is when you have to think on your feet, when you are tired, stressed, and have to think well outside the box" He has always been correct. He also stated that when Russia spread its forces out inside Crimea c2014, where they were already legally based, to protect his Black Sea bases and fleet, was the most logical military thing he could have done. We should not in any circumstances be aiding the corrupt, non democratic, racist, genocidal, war criminal, terroristic nazi glorifying regimes in Ukraine. Nazis do not deserve support. My great uncle landed on D-Day as a Royal Marine Commando to fight those bstds, he would have been sickened to see Zelanazisky being lauded as a hero at the recent commemoration of 80 years, he lost many fine colleagues from Normandy to Germany killed by nazis. My other relative was in two Scots regiments from Dunkirk, to North africa, Sicily, Italy, Austria, Germany losing many fine British soldiers. I will never support nazis, and i will never underestimate the Russian knack for innovation and big surprises, as the nazis discovered in ww2. We in the west should not be so complacent, considering the morons in the USA, UK, EU and NATO pushing this sickening narrative and support, to the detriment of our own nations, peoples, and security. We have more enemies within our nation already, and we may have to fight them at home before any commitment to NATO is possible. My homeland, UK, is sacred to me and my oath to defend it.

They never had them in the first place, even the word Malvinas is French, and when Britain occupied the place it was empty, and Argentina did not even exist at the time.

@johnpongi5693 Also has nuclear icebreakers for the northern waters, which is why the USA wanted Finland and Sweden in NATO, to threaten Russia's legal resources in the Arctic (remember Trump wanted to buy Greenland, another threat to Russia and its resources.) it is all about resources and greed in the west, who have proven to be liars, thieves, pirates, and supporters of nazis in a genocide.
