Sky News reports:
British troops will be allowed to fire back at Russian forces if attacked in mission
London and Paris are pressing ahead with their preparations for the "Multinational Force-Ukraine" (MNF-U) and a potential deployment.
Another nonsense headline.
Why would British troops not fire back if attacked?
What, does the British Army have new rules of engagement: Do not fire back if attacked, just accept massive casualties?
Sky's much-vaunted military 'analysts' were obviously asleep when this story was filed.
The Zelensky regime in Ukraine inviting another military force to come to its country is much like the Assad regime inviting Russian forces to prop up its regime in Syria.
It won't end well either for the regime or the country as in Syria.
Maybe the West can find another ex-terrorist to take over in Ukraine?
But just as Assad ended up protected in Moscow, Zelensky will end up in a Floridian gated community under 24/7 protection.
At least Sky is honest enough to admit:
The idea that the Kremlin would allow for troops from 11 NATO nations to help "secure lasting peace" as part of this negotiation seems fanciful.
The Russian president has repeatedly ruled out such an idea in the past.
Stroll on!
