General Sir Richard Sherriff tells Sky News that even if Russia is defeated in the war against Ukraine, it is going to remain determined to rebuild another empire, subjugate Ukraine, and then move on to other ex-Soviet countries, like NATO members. That could mean war with Russia.
"Could we try offering actual support to our soldiers and competitive pay and benefits, and eliminating toxic military cultures, to increase recruitment?
No. It is the people who don’t want to ruin their health and their life for minimal benefits in peacetime who are wrong."
We do see that’s the general’s goal, right? He doesn’t actually want conscription; he wants funding and attention.
