UK must build a Putin-pounding military like Poland - or he'll steamroll over us, ex-general warns
BRITAIN must mimic Nato's poster-boy Poland in bolstering and modernising its "second class" army into one that is ready to fight against an aggressive military, former British generals have warned.
If it fails to do this now, British forces would suffer "catastrophic" losses on the WW3 battlefields against an advancing Russian army if Putin invades Nato.
Three British ex-army chiefs told The Sun that as it stands, the UK's army would be "steamrolled" by Putin's forces if a major war erupted in the next two years.
They said two decades of relative peace in the post-Cold War era has meant the UK - like much of European Nato - has stopped thinking about WW3 and "run the armed forces to the ground".
But as Nato turns 75 today, the former commanders warned that the threat to the military alliance from Russia has "never been higher".
They said once the guns stop in Ukraine, a "vengeful" Putin could invade Nato's eastern flank if he smells weakness and turn the Baltics into a bloodbath.
And the only way for the UK and Nato to avoid WW3 is by having larger, better equipped and highly trained armed forces that would make Putin take a step back.
But in reality, the military experts warned that most Nato countries in Europe, including the UK, are nowhere near where they should be to pose a credible deterrence to Putin.
They said the UK and the likes of France and Germany must mimic Poland in investing in its military if Nato is going to stop Russia from sending columns of tanks over the border to Estonia or Lithuania.
Former tank commander Colonel Hamish de Bretton-Gordon told The Sun: "The UK really needs to catch up - our conventional deterrence is not up to the mark and we've allowed our ability to fight global wars to drift.

Wait for Russia to attack them or give Ukraine what they need to defeat Russia now. Or u can be a fool,and be unprepared. NATO,and the UK has to gear up for war now before u are under communist rule.

And remember the soldiers are the best, they beat America every time there are war games. Put them against Russia and one uk soldier is worth 100 Russians if not more, worth 1000 Chinese soldiers and worth about 3-5 American soldiers. The UK could be a damn strong-armed force if the conservatives had not cut their funding and funding of much-needed projects by so much. Labour is coming back and hopefully even though theya re not the warmongers the cons are, they will get the UK back up to strength.

Same here mate. There is already a war that needs fighting right here at home. Has been for decades. And the government outlaws us from fighting it while they actively let import and fund the opposition. At this point I'd sooner fight for Russia taking over the UK. It's already been taken over by outsiders. Look at the unelected dictators of all 4 UK countries. Notice what they have in common?

Ever since the CIA backed Ukrainian revolution in 2014, I'm amazed people still blame Russia. Wouldn't it just be easier if the US got what they crave and got a leader for Russia who'll do as they say, instead of what Russia wants for its own prosperity, unfortunately putin won't just allow this to happen, so no doubt you'll get the war you want

So Ukraine joined NATO in 2014?
Do people still believe this nonsense. For one. We started(with NATO) the Ukraine/Russia conflict, supporting the Maidan coup, as well as expanding NATO towards Russia, which we promised Gorbachev we wouldn't do. And two, we're already forced by America to waste £70 billion on war per year( 2% of our gdp) for being in a military alliance with America(NATO). The Tory defence minister recently talked about spend 4 to 5% of our gdp( tax payer money) on (funneled to the military industrial complex) war. That's around £175 billion every year on war, whilst we invest nothing at home, and our country crumbles. People ain't falling for these bought and paid for agents of the military industrial complex anymore. Jog on mate.
