They are so belligerent the British establishment. Too much vested interest in wars. What if people refused? Australia would follow suit like a pack of lemmings I am sure. If there’s a war the Americans and British are, more often than not, in like Flynn.

I don’t know about anyone else but I’m always reading the newspapers, mainly daily mail and express. In the time of Covid I was constantly reading and watching the news on tv, no wonder I became extremely anxious and thought I was going to lose all my nearest and dearest. My DS did tell me not to continue reading these papers, full of negativity, to which I did take notice of him until recently, and now hitting headlines is WW3 could be very near! It is likely that all men from ages 18-41 or could be 60 yrs of age would be likely to be called up or conscripted to go to war if necessary as the British over the years have reduced their numbers of the Army, Navy and royal air force etc. My anxiety levels have again risen so high just by reading this, my 2 sons are 31 and 34, the thought of them going to war and to possibly lose them. I guess it’s time to step away from reading the news for a while.
