The only way you could get Britain into a war with Russia would be if they thought Russia was attacking Britain. That’s how they could pull this off - either stage a false flag or somehow goad Russia into attacking the UK.
Thanks for this - it's useful. I don't get the impression many people would be up for war. Notionally getting behind the Ukrainian flag is one thing, but after years of rising prices and taxes there's little appetite for the sacrifice of an active war.
Conscription talk makes me laugh - is a nation who stayed indoors for nearly two years because of a disease only affecting a vulnerable minority really going to go off to a foreign land and fight the Russians?
Okay, if they directly attack my shores, then there will be war. Otherwise attacking another country for the sake of hating them or to pump up the weasels in the pantygon is ridiculous.
As a pacifist, my response goes without saying. And conscription? Do they really think even the middle class will offer up their lambs for sacrifice? And I've heard so many students mention they are learning Russian.......

A critical recruitment inducement will be to offer a free smart phone for all those signing up so they can take their life with them into battle.
