Peacekeeping? What about stopping his blind support for the murderous Zionist entity.? Hypocrite doesn’t cover him anymore. He’s a Genocide enabler, a supporter and a rationalizer of murder and rape.

This was always a proxy war between the US and Russia with the European minions hanging onto mummy's apron in case there was some US crumbs from the table in the event of victory. Well, the US has finally, after 3 years and thousands dead, maimed and injured realised that's its Imperial project in Eastern Europe against Russia has failed. It's Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan et al - all over again. We should thank Trump for the wake up call. There is no 'special relationship' between the US and UK, or Europe, Canada, Mexico, China, Greenland, Panama - add to the list as you see fit. The neo-liberal Brexit project exposed the UK to even greater headwinds economically and Trump has now left us stranded on our island militarily and politically. The Tories, Labour and Reform would sell their grandmother (and yours) to take any role, no matter how subservient, in Trump's new world order. Starmer and Sunak before him ripped up the rules based world order the moment they became complicit in the genocide in Palestine. Bombings, killings and total destruction of a whole nation and civilian population is promoted, protected and encouraged by Starmer and Labour. No one is going fight on the beaches to defend such hypocrisy and moral bankruptcy to help the war machine rake in billions while ordinary British families cling on to the little they've got left. No-one is going to line up behind a PM and government that promotes war on the one hand and total war on the other. That's the choice. If ever we needed a Statesman (or woman) to come to the fore and determine a path that promotes, peace, equality and decency it is now. The British people need to recognise that Starmer, Tories and Reform are poisoning the UK from the inside out with their deference to Corporate donors, Zionist lobbying, media lies and migrant racism. We need to turn away from this and forge a new way before it's too late.

The puppet Starmer has made this ludicrous proposal at the behest of his Zionist masters. It confirms that the UK really has handed over its independence of action to the crowd behind the genocide in Gaza.

Sorry but Tommy Atkins won’t be joining up this time.

Russia also has no interest in attacking or taking over Europe. That's why the war hawks want to do some more poking of the bear in Finland.

Starmer is making a tit of himself. The sagging Ukraine flags have all disappeared, Britons aren't going to actually fight in Biden's proxy war.

Russia should just put an end to England permanently.

You are not wrong there and that's why my opinion is ultimately to end the war by any means necessary as soon as possible. An unfavourable peace is better than no peace at the moment from my perspective and I'm not even a male in Ukraine or the mother of males

The graph you have shown includes the effects of the National Service (Armed Forces) Act (1939), which extended conscription to all men aged 18 to 41 and later to unmarried women and childless widows aged 20 to 30.

Conscription continued until 1960, with the last conscripted soldiers leaving the service in 1963.

The decline in military since then seems less dramatic in view of this fact.

Another issue unmentioned, is the nature of weaponry in 2025. Warfare is more about missiles, remote controlled drones and electro-magnetics than human physical combat, as we have seen in Gaza and Ukraine.

Finally, Sir Keir Starmer is obedient to the Crown and is surely aware that British boots are already on the ground in Ukraine, claiming to be there in a training capacity. There are rumours that the operations against Nord Stream 2, the Crimea/Kirsch Bridge and other attacks on Russian territory were British led.

War is dirty and the old animosity against Russia festers deep in the independent City of London.

They're going to send the entire army... 75k soldiers. What a pittance. Anything more than active personnel will not go. They will jump off bridges rather than go to the meat grinder. For what? To uphold the honour of the West's regime change efforts?

The foreign policy and governance elites HATE the people, and the people know it. There was a chance for peace and these elites deliberately sabotaged it to pump the stock price of their REAL owners: not the people, but the military contractors and think tanks which guide them.

Peace will come when Russia ends the war on the battlefield. The US cannot be trusted.

If Starmer wants to go to war as far as we are concerned he can go, on his own hopefully. Maybe we won’t see him again after that and, while he’s off to fight, there’s a number of other people he can take with him, like Streeting for example.

For the psychopaths who own and operate the world, war is the only guaranteed profit center. Trying to make money by monetizing pharma and natural resources pale in terms of profits when it comes to war. Why do you think "peace" is a dirty word to them?
