You just don't mess with Putin.

Dictator par excellence. So what do we do when The Bear is sharpening his claws......err cut the armed forces to the lowest strength in history.

I read he was preparing to publish a report on the presence of Russian troops in Ukraine. Polonium Putin soon put a stop to that!

And yet Cast Iron Dave is still posturing and blustering away, and pretending that we are a militarily relevant power.

Many many years ago a US Senator said we would be a drop in the ocean if we didn't have Trident. And the rest of the planet knows this.

Lads, its true we have Trident but so what ? Nuclear war is a last resort
unless some nutter like the North Korean dictator presses a button, so in
most world terms excluding nuclear options lets get real - Britain under
Cameron just blusters because a) that's all a little twat like him will ever
so since he lacks real integrity b) we have depleted our military to such
an extent that we can do bugger all anyway. Putin`s Russia is in a
financially dangerous position but its resources are huge, especially its
military and its being lead by an ex-KGB officer who dreams of a return to
the "good old days". The kind of nice moral scruples that bother Cameron
or politically correct Brits aren`t even on Putin`s radar.....
