''Right lads, lasses and LGBTA-Zedder troops ... We're off to war tonight''
''But Sir we've our monthly DEI 'Diversity on the battlefield wins wars' lecture tomorrow and we can't go into battle unless we're suitably equipped to deal with any transgender Russian troops we might meet in the field, you know, how to exchange makeup and body lotions with them and the only armoured troop carrier our company owns is in having its tracks manicured. I am NOT walking into battle, it will ruin my stilettos!''
''So, technically at least, it would appear that we’re now at war with Russia.''
And 'technically' at least, because we and the Yanks have allowed our troops to fire weapons into Russia (I don't doubt we have boots on the ground there doing that very thing) without a declaration of war and without any provocation from Russia ... that would make both of these countries 'Terrorist States'
I already knew the disaster of the light brigade. It doesn't inspire hopes, does it. As I'm a convinced pacifist, I shall make no further comment on the military side of things. As a non believer also, no prayers.
In any case I am currently cursing Apple for their latest cock-up of a major update which wrecked photos and notes on my iPad. I haven't gone further than that yet, but I fear I will rapidly run out of suitable words and phrases on all fronts in several languages. My condolences to all fellow sufferers.
