The British press called Russia an "acute threat" and China a "chronic threat"

The British press published an interview with the Chief of the General Staff of the United Kingdom's troops, General Nick Carter. A conversation with the general was published on the pages of the newspaper The Times and is devoted primarily to the desire of Great Britain to improve its armed forces, to increase their effectiveness.

According to Nick Carter, he is ready to make every effort to increase the combat capability of the British army, in order to make it capable of responding to modern challenges.

The author of the material tells how, in the office of the Chief of the General Staff, he noticed a map with the inscription “View from Moscow”. At the same time, the Times material stated that if 2014 “few people remembered Russia, now it is perceived as an acute threat”. Noteworthy is the epithet in Britain given to modern China - a "chronic threat" to the interests of the United Kingdom and its allies.

The article says that in the near future, General Nick Carter will make a report in which he will outline all the threats to the UK and how the British Royal Armed Forces plans to counter these threats.

From the article:

Critical decisions in this regard are to be made within the next three months.

At the same time, the key change is a significant increase in the volume of the military budget of the United Kingdom. Under the need to counter the "acute threat" in the form of Russia and the "chronic threat" in the form of China, the British government is going to increase the expenditure side of the military budget by 24 billion pounds at once - within a 4-year period. This is the maximum increase in the budget of the British military department in fact since the end of the Cold War.

At the same time, the chief of the British General Staff said that "funding needs to be increased, since many NATO partners ignore the clause of the charter on the need to finance the army at the level of at least 2 percent of GDP."

Let's wait for the Russian press to call GB a puppet kingdom with clownish threats.

Under the need to counter the "acute threat" in the form of Russia and the "chronic threat" in the form of China, the British government is going to increase the expenditure side of the military budget by 24 billion pounds at once - over a 4-year period.

It's too late to drink Borjomi .... Only klystyr, gentlemen, only klystyr!

[Real Pilot]

Well yes...
Of course! More or less like this:

"We want to bite you now in order to get out of the crisis at the expense of Russia's resources! We want so badly that we can't sit still ...

But for the time being we will tolerate the Chinese for their consumer goods and other benefits ... Although we quietly and chronically hate! "

So they don't hide anything ...
But now they left the EU, and now communications inside will weaken from lockdowns and other troubles. And we will, in solidarity with the Scottish people, raise a glass of whiskeykarik in honor of their independence!

What? And to you the same as you wish us, sir!

It might just be worth admitting to them that they are akin to the contagious infection of the planet.

[APASUS]

Now the UK is about to leave the EU and we'll have a look at its military budget!
And they can do only one thing, another scandal with the ploy of poisoning another Navalny.

[Bolt cutter]

Now the UK is about to leave the EU and we'll have a look at its military budget!

I think that the military will not be allowed to pocket all the 50 billion pounds saved on payments to the Eurobudget per year. So little will really change.

[Berber]

Correctly noticed. There is always only money behind all statements. Another "sawman" started an old record.

Well then Britain is an "old threat"

So it's not clear what they are afraid of? If we do not touch, then there will be no response from us.

[Alex777]

They have always been afraid of Russia.

"Russia has no friends, they are afraid of our vastness." Alexander III

They know for sure that if something goes wrong, they will get it. So they spend the money.

It's just that the British general is trying to convince the public that taxpayers still need him and his office.

And they got it all mixed up, maybe for the first time in their lives. But the hint is clear. The acute threat will be eliminated immediately, surgically, but chill, walk and walk. But they are fighting with us (not fighting - the gut is thin) with Ivan the Terrible, and with China they fought for 10 years?

[Igor Kobernik]

Much earlier ... At the end of the XNUMXth century ... Because of this, the Russian - Japanese war happened ... The Britons solved their problems with China (where Russia's influence increased) at the expense of Japan ...

[Mavrikiy]

Don't skip your lessons! However, what I mean ..... Engage in self-education from the textbooks of the USSR. With the Russo-Japanese War, England did not solve Chinese problems, but Russian ones.

[Igor Kobernik]

You don’t skip it .... Almost the entire Japanese Navy was built by England, moreover, on very preferential loans .... And it was more expensive for the Anglo-Saxons to stop the growing Russian influence in China ... So they used the "Zouaves", whose role was performed by Japan ... By the way, after the Russian - Japanese interest in Britain, Britain's interest in Japan dropped noticeably .... And China has always been a very tasty morsel for the colonialists ... So who skipped lessons?

[Mavrikiy]

I repeat for the gifted:

With the Russo-Japanese War, England did not solve Chinese problems, but Russian ones.

And what have you sanctified

China - has always been a very tasty morsel for the colonialists

At the end of 19, at the beginning of 20, it was more related to the United States. Well, there were, before that, the opium wars, but they ended and the defeated one left to wait for the moment. Well, he waited.

[Igor Kobernik]

Young man, I am not a "father" to "sanctify" anything ("And what did you sanctify") .... They address a stranger with "You", and it is with a capital letter .... And what is " late 19th and early 20th "??? That is, in your opinion, the end of the 19th is 1899, and the beginning of the 20th is already 1901? Has the geopolitical situation changed radically in a year or a year and a half? Yes, in 1901, the United States was of little interest to anyone as a regional power, nothing more. In two world wars rose ... You yourself - then read your posts ???

China once got out of them - it immediately became a threat. And in recent years, they've gotten graters over Hong Kong.

They don't have graters because of the territories, everything is in the past. All the graters of China because of the bobble from the USA, Arrogant in the wings.

[Igor Kobernik]

British soldiers have repeatedly visited Russian soil, and by no means as tourists, and far from for peaceful purposes ... And how many times have our military visited the UK lands? Starting from the Russian Empire ... Then you can not discuss ...

[Pessimist22]

Or should we argue with Europe new?
Il Russian weaned from victories?
Or a little of us? Or from Perm to Tauris,
From the Finnish cold rocks to the flaming Colchis,
From the shocked Kremlin
To the walls of immobile China,
Shiny bristles,
Will not the Russian land rise? ..
So send us to us, Vitia,
His angry sons:
There is a place for them in the fields of Russia,
Among the coffins that are not theirs.

A.S. Pushkin

Maybe xтonic?

Something on the "small island" is afraid, or what?

Who would doubt it, everyone wants money ...

[newcomer]

"Network-centric", "global", "space", "nuclear", "military", simply "threat", "humanitarian", now "acute". The Anglo-Saxons probably run out of epithets. Yeah: tendet_ don't carry bags. I could simply say: "Give more pounds to seize Russian territories and mineral resources." After all, they are suffocating, they no longer pull without colonies. Damn them.

[Vladimir61]

Nothing new. In the West, there is one fashion designer and everyone has the same patterns!

[Yaro Polk]

Russia agreed to cooperate with ASTROZENEKA in order to help all mankind with a vaccine, and these Russophobes are in a hurry. "ACUTE THREAT", and does not flinch

[Reserve buildbat]

But small Britain - chronic hemorrhoids. How does this island pimple intend to "confront" Russia and China when it is already safely "subject" under the mattresses?
Although it does not stop shitting.

[Baloo]

the people themselves are a threat to themselves. China is more dangerous than Russia, which seeks partnerships with everyone. Even more dangerous is the United States, or rather those financial structures included in the Federal Reserve System. V. Baruch was the ideological inspirer of the creation of the FRS in 1913, seducing W. Wilson to make money by fomenting wars. Just one example of the essence of the Fed: when Kennedy decided to limit the influence of the Fed, the old dragon Baruch met with Kennedy, there is a photo on the internet. We are unlikely to know what we were talking about. Only now, less than a month later, Kennedy was killed. The Americans also had a hand in the First World War and all subsequent ones. Ferdinand's motorcade (like Kennedy's) changed its route at the last moment.

Nothing! All to the point is that soon the impudent Saxons will have to answer for many sins before the Chinese.

[iouris]

How low we have fallen: Great Britain will "oppose" us.

[tolmachiev51]

- "funding needs to be increased, since many NATO partners ignore the clause of the charter on the need to finance the army at the level of at least 2 percent of GDP." - who is talking about what and "lousy" about the bath !!! Where will you take these 2% after leaving the EU !?
