Reply to: Who would win: Russia or the UK?

Russia apparently.

The scenario only seems to deal with artillery on artillery with no thought that artillery is next to useless where air superiority is not gained. Think of the Falaise Gap or the Road to Basra.

But the British have a cunning plan

What do you think Reagan would have done if 150 Russian thugs battered 3000 US citizens?

Slightly less than **** all.

He should have been about for Euro 2016 where 150 Russian hooligans battered about 3000 English Hooligans

Rule 1, on page 1 of the book of war, is: “Do not march on Moscow”. Various people have tried it, Napoleon and Hitler, and it is no good. That is the first rule. I do not know whether your Lordships will know Rule 2 of war. It is: “Do not go fighting with your land armies in China”. It is a vast country, with no clearly defined objectives.

One advantage of war with Russia would be sending all Russians home. Even if they have bought a des-res above a kebab shop.

2011 census states 36,313 born in Russia resident in England, 687 in Wales, 2180 in Scotland and 349 in NI
ONS estimate for 2016 is 66,000resident in UK - why estimate ? - presumably they came through correct channels rather than refrigerated lorries so there should be accurate figures available

Given the Novichok and Polonium incidents we may want to ask how many of those 66,000 are sleeper cells

Yeh, Russia. Napoleon and Adolph made the big mistake of taking them on.
