General Sir Richard Dannatt condemns armoured vehicle transfer to Ukraine - Telegraph
Conservatives have had his pants down here IMHO. He repeatedly spoke out against a Labour Govt. over their mishandling of the Iraq War, and Afghan debacle. But as soon as he was demobbed,jumped into the sack with Cameron et al to help get them elected. Now expresses surprise at the news that the present Govt. has effectively turned a blind eye to an inferior weapon supply.
At least he is speaking out against it, I will give him that. But he was used.
Cameron, as UK PM is absolutely desperate for this crisis to go away, because he knows he should be helping to lead with the European response against it. But he cant do anything, because (a) we are small and now surprisingly undefended-we no longer have credible defence forces and (b) the Government know the public do not want to antagonise Russia, or be any part of the potential fight on behalf of the Ukraine, because they now recognise point (a) themselves, and only want to be left in peace. My 2 bob opinion spent.
