The military and government say the risk of conflict is growing, but we may not be mentally ready for it

If the UK suddenly found itself at war, would you know what to do? Do you know what would be expected of you?

    An entirely valid fear; there are British politicians who seem to really want to enter into war with Russia and people need to sit them in a room and be like “no, that’s a bad politician, bad; no starting wars with Russia; bad”

    If they start a war with Russia, fast track them to the front lines and honestly problem solved.

    if the UK suddenly found itself at war

    This isn’t like walking down the street and being like “oh blimey, look! A quid!”, with people being like “now how did this happen”

    ‘Found itself’

    Yeah amazing how that just happens

    Do you know what would be expected of you?

    A new round of elections?

      While wanting to start wars is bad, I think in this case it would be a little delusional to think that the war hasn’t already started and that it wasn’t Russia who started it.
