"Mr Cameron also said equipment and supplies should be pre-positioned in key locations and called for an enhanced Nato Response Force."
Back to RAFG! Hurray!

Bloody politicians, military and civilian! So, who has failed here? Who was living in cloud cuckoo land? Where is the coherent policy that recognises there is a dangerous world out there? The Russians have not changed, we have!

But where would these stores and equipment go?
It can't be Germany as the current gang in parliament have been running BAOR and RAFG down so they must have thought it was the wrong area

The wonderful world of "should" ! (as in: "The UN/NATO/EU/Uncle Tom Cobbley 'n All should Do Something About It).

It beggars belief. This jumped-up PR slimeball has spent the last four years
assiduously pulling apart the very fibres of British military capability Now having caused untold damage which will take years & billions to put right, having left Britain weaker than in living memory, starts waving his pencil dick at President Putin.
How do such creatures reach such high office. That's the real question.

Ahhh, but Dave and Co can sit safely behind the fact that Russia cannot attack as they would need to comply with H&S etc first. He would also need to carry out a risk assessment too and submit it in triplicate.

Why are our glorious politicians spoiling for a fight? Well, its a century after the Great War and nearly three quarters of a century after WW2. Lloyd George and Winston Churchill will always be remembered for their roles. Does Call me Dave yearn to emulate them? At least in Victorian times they could sing "We don't want to fight - but by Jingo if we do, we've got the ships, we've got the men, we've got the money too".
Private Fraser of Dad's Army would have it right today if he uttered his famous phrase "We're doomed!"

It's called writing ones name in history with someone else's blood, since Churchill and Thatcher pulled off the extraordinary.
Those that have been in power since seem to think they have the talent and resources to do the similar, sadly they have neither, it gets bad when they now expect to fete themselves in glory with not only their own troops, but with those of other countries as well...

"and Thatcher pulled off the extraordinary."
Thatcher made the decision (Falklands, Iranian Embassy etc) and had the balls to do so, the troops (of all uniform colours) were the one's who shed blood and pulled off the extraordinary.
But as you say, the UK doesn't have the resources now to do it but
the bellicose statements continue.

Before asking NATO to rethink its Russian relationship, amongst others, how about he do so himself. We, and certainly the EU, did nothing to discourage the violent overthrow of the elected president which kicked all this off. If it were down to Dave we'd be up to our armpits in Syria. Does anyone actually have a plan?
