News / How will Poland be affected by WW3 which has now started [559]

UK literally cant do long range operations anymore without begging for help from an ally

Yup, it's time they spend some money on weapons and start recruiting soldiers.
Britain's game of charades is over.
Britain is are more than a paper tiger against Russia.

Here is another news article for you jon, where is your defense besides your personal opinion of, "No it's not."

msn.com/en-us/news/world/british-army-would-only-last-a-couple-of-months-against-russia-damning-report-claims/ar-BB1hKXqG

British army would only last a 'couple of months' against Russia.
Quote:
Britain is dangerously unprepared to defend itself from onslaught in the event of an all-out war with Russia, a damning government report has found.
General Nick Carter, a former army officer and ex-Chief of Defence Staff, told The Sun that armed forces would likely 'exhaust their chief capabilities after the first couple of months of engagement', commenting on recent findings by the Commons Defence Select Committee.

After a year compiling its assessment of the British Army's current capacity, the parliamentary group said that for one thing, ammunition supplies are 'far below the level required to counter with certainty a threat from the Russian army.'


And your source that you base your, "No it's not" opinion on is ?

and not as popular as they used to be.

Because China raised the prices on fish exported to Britain.
Fish & Chips are no longer affordable for many.

and again, not so popular nowadays.

Because they put that apron of fat on you when you eat them every day like Poland did in the old days.

There is a lot to come out about Micron and his closet support for r*SSia,

Lets point fingers then.
Explosive accusations that Latvian member of European Parliament, Tatjana Ždanoka, has been working as a Russian spy for some 13 years are roiling lawmakers across the continent.

Sounds like the European Parliament is a bit sketchy to say the least.

Opinion, actually.

Actually NO jon, their pictures don't lie.
You have no pictures or sources, so it is YOU that only has secondhand opinions.
Don't worry though as you won't even see the flash.

All can be elegant.

And a British favorite of "chips" with fish and the American favorite of hot crispy fries with ketchup.
Poland's favorite is elegant smashed potato's like babcia has always made.

They paid all their lives into the system.

But not anymore jon because they are not working to pay income tax anymore and most are in retirement homes so they pay no property taxes anymore.

Your above post is a pretty lame come back to my post #120.

media scare stories intended to rile up the easily riled.

They are just presenting the facts jon, with pictures to confirm their story.
If they scare you they should.
Your "Perhaps" to avoid debating the Royal Navy 'forced to decommission' two warships due to lack of sailors is nothing more than your typical. "lets shame" my opponent with something "totally not relevant game" for a redirect to avoid the topic.

If you want to play that game, Russia has nuclear submarines sitting off Britain's coast that are capable of turning London into a sheet of glass in less than five minutes.

But lets stick to the subject of: Royal Navy 'forced to decommission' two warships due to lack of sailors

It saves on pensions.

And health care costs and medical expenses.
Old people pay nothing into the public trough and only belly up to it and suck out of it.

change to an American-type health 'system' so people die earlier

Kill the unborn babies and all the old people is jon's motto.
They are just a waste of oxygen huh jon ?

Food / Why Poles not like rice? [98]

Who told you that ?

Spuds are a staple, but rice is more elegant.

That is a myth.
Poles are very traditional for one and two the Op is assuming that Poles don't like rice.
They would if they tried several recipes.
The toppings that you pour over rice are the key.
Everything and anything works well to lively it up as simple as butter, salt, pepper, soy sauce, grated cheese, vegetables, or shrimp scampi to beef stir fry or chicken and chicken gravy to cooked red beans, and for fried rice, eggs, diced peppers, broccoli, diced onions, shrimp, beef gravy, curry sauce, red curry sauce, sardines.....it's endless.

But as traditional as Poles are they will stick to their depressing smashed spuds with lots of butter and milk just like babcia made forever.

you should not worry too much or rely on one source of opinion.

Actually that Topic has been in many news media sources lately jon, not just one.
In fact I posted another one last week about the same thing from a different source.
I know it is embarrassing for you as a Brit, however there is no denying it as the pictures show. ✔

There are probably many better sources of news.

PROBABLY ? Then post them for us. 👀

The British Armed Forces are still by far the best trained in the world

But if they don't have ships or weapons on them, what good are they ?
All you have to do is Google: Royal Navy 'forced to decommission' two warships due to lack of sailors and you will find a ton of new articles about it from several sources.

Are they all ex -army officers grumbling and lying ? NO !
You were in denial last week about the Brits needing to start conscription when WW3 breaks out too.
jon, the British military needs personal along with weapons to supply your ships.
Time to pony up and quit relying on the Great U.S.A. to pick up your slack again.
Who are we to believe, several credible news media's or jon 357's opinion ?
Go ahead and google: Royal Navy 'forced to decommission' two warships due to lack of sailors
Those are my multiple sources, where are yours ?

@jon357

A good move at the moment.

After reading articles like this one about our NATO allie Britain, one begins to wonder just how much Britain would be in WW3.
Britain's £6billion fleet of Royal Navy destroyers have gyms where land attack missiles should be due to the weapons being too expensive to buy.

The lack of weapons on the Type 45 warships has raised concerns the Navy is falling even further behind the United States, with drastic shortages of sailors also prompting warnings.

Not quite as rich in detail as the quick bulletin on the TV news.

now that the US is likely to withdraw from Europe

Now it's Europe's turn to pay back the US and put some war ships in the Pacific for the upcoming war with China vs the U.S.

Subs are in demand if you guys could spare a few.

Off-Topic / Will German Farmers change the EU policy? [45]

As for Poland's connection, Polish farmers support German farmers in their effort to kick some sone into the 'liberal' elite living in the bubble.

EUROPE ERUPTS IN WIDESPREAD FARMER PROTESTS AS REVOLT AGAINST 'GREEN' POLICIES INTENSIFIES
Quote:
Farmers in France, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, Belgium, Romania, and other countries across Europe are protesting radical leftist governments by obstructing major transport networks with tractors.

This populist movement is sweeping Europe at a time when over-regulation, taxes, and the climate change agenda threaten the livelihoods of not just farmers but working-class people and comes several months before the European election cycle kicks off in June.


It's all Greta's fault.

That Poland doesn't import nuclear reactors from Australia.

Well why didn't you just say that in the first place, jon.

I can offend and insult any group I want in America and never fear being charged criminally.

However if you had a brain you would understand that if you offended the wrong group or person here in the U.S.A. that you could face what is called 'revenge consequences' with far worse consequences than being criminally charged. :-o

And in your case, I don't think that would surprise a single person here on this forum.

You're quoting a statistical category.

Just answer my question jon and you will answer your dilemma at the same time.

Is Georgia such a crappy place?

It's a lot like Poland.

It didn't say that.

I know, I did.
See:

Australian exports of machinery, nuclear reactors, boilers to Poland was $8.3 million during 2022, according to the United Nations COMTRADE database on International trade.

Argue with them, I am just quoting them.

I am not a dirt eating redneck!

Are now claiming that you have never lived in Georgia ?
