"UK Army Chief Urges Public to Prepare for Potential Conflict with Russia"
TL;DR
The head of the British army, General Sir Patrick Sanders, warns UK citizens to prepare for a war on the scale of the great conflicts of the 20th Century, likening the situation in Ukraine to the crises of 1914 and 1937. He insists that only 'citizen armies' will be able to defeat the coming onslaught on the West's way of life, calling for a near-doubling in size of the British army and a level of civic mobilization not seen in Western Europe since 1945. This follows months of ominous warnings from key NATO members, with Germany making contingency plans for a massive Russian assault on Western Europe, specifically the Baltic states.
