If Britain were attacked by Russia would you enlist?

[Gutter Boy]

Yeah, but you could have experience working on autonomous machines on construction sites and convert your skills to drone warfare. It's still enlisting.

I do agree that it is a changing landscape though. It's not about warm bodies per se anymore.

A nuclear winter is definitely not worth surviving into. I'd run straight towards the big mushroom and have it over with as quick as possible.

Even Mad Max is optimistic about what a post-apocalyptical world would look like. There would be no fresh food for generations to start with. And all water would be poisoning you

I would do some logistics but I wouldn’t go abroad - am too old anyway.

Well British culture is infinitely superior to Russian inspite of any flaws.

But one of the very few benefits of a war like this would be a collective national pride being restored.

I don’t know that all Russian culture is bad, there are some Russian owned places that have a lot to offer, Texas, New York, Washington - they all have positives.

Nah - I did a free module in 19th and 20th Century Russian Culture at university.

Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Chekhov, Zamyatin, Solzhenitsyn, Tchaikovsky, Prokofiev, Rachmaninov, Stravinsky, Shostakovich, Tarkovsky, Eisenstein - I'd line up with those guys

Most of those active in the 20th century were surely Soviet and many of them fell foul of that culture.

This has to be one of your most bizarre political posts yet mate.

I think a wider angle to your question is what would you consider an attack to be? I'd argue that Russia has quite successfully attacked Britain (and other places) with huge success via it's manipulation of social media and angling prevailing narratives where they want them to be. They have successfully created such divisions within Europe that it essentially attacked itself from within. It could be argued that Russia has been attacking Britain for a solid decade or more, and that we have not only not fought, we've ceded to them in many ways.

Sure but we (both UK & US) also do that in Russia and other countries.

If they were to strike UK energy sources and infustructure which results in casualties. Which is unlikely but not completely out of the question any more.
