Well, at least it breaks the monotony. News of the UK's troop deployment ( as part of a wider NATO strategy to foment a military conflict with Russia ) to the turnip fields of two of the EU's aggressive beggar satrapies of Poland and Estonia really does define what genuine incredulity feels like. The BBC trumpets, a la classic Vaudeville Petomaine the following, in easy to grasp bullet points in case you're too thick to comprehend a longer narrative form.
Hundreds of UK troops are to be sent to Poland and Estonia as part of the Nato response to concerns over Russia.
A 500-strong battalion will be deployed to Estonia and 150 troops will be based in Poland to "reassure" these countries, the defence secretary said.
Michael Fallon said it aims to "deter Russia from any further aggression".
Eastern Nato countries "feel enormous pressure from Russia doing large exercises on the border, flying over their airspace and so on," he said.
"This [the deployment] is something Nato's been planning for a while, that countries like Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia have made clear that they want.
The units - led by the UK, the US, Germany and Canada - are due to be in place in early 2017.
UK armed forces are already deployed in more than 80 countries across the world in a range of roles, including 450 soldiers in Afghanistan and more than 275 military training personnel in Iraq.
*Mr Cameron, who is due to announce the deployment at a Nato summit in Warsaw later, said: "This summit is a chance for us to reiterate our strong support for Ukraine and our other eastern allies to deter Russian aggression.
"Actions speak louder than words and the UK is proud to be taking the lead role, deploying troops across Eastern Europe.
"It is yet another example of the UK leading in Nato."...here endeth the pious sermon.
*Cameron you might recall is the same Cameron whom my blog,historically caricatured as The Chief Toilet Attendant of The Greater European Union's Northwest maritime province of Yu-Kay. And we all know how that ended. So, la Grand Petomaine's record is already 0-1 and falling.
BBC Radio 4's flagship Today programme on July 8 even featured a rather long and laborious p.r. exercise by epicly challenged bipolar Foreign Secretary Hammond,who as is customary spouted an immense load of idiosyncratic verbiage that contained repeated phrases about Bwitain's leading role in NATO.No-one whilst he was on air at the Beeb had the perspicacity to administer him his meds,which may have mitigated the listener's suffering and to a lesser extent any fleeting compassion for Hammond's endemic stupidity.
Deliberately under-resourced,shabbily treated,badly commanded, idiotically led by ex-public schoolboy buffoons a la 14-18, the British Military are currently 0-2 with their performance record in actually doing anything worthwhile whatsoever. Mowing down unarmed Irish civilians is no longer in their training manuals.Alas, since they were getting quite proficient at it at one stage.
My views on NATO match precisely my vindicated by History view on the european union; I utterly hate, loathe and despise everything it does and everything it stands for. Not only is the eu dead and buried, NATO isn't far behind.The grave beckons. As an arm of US Global Imperialism it is, NATO once again finds itself in the somewhat ironic position of being wholly impotent and redundant as a hydra-headed armed insurgency is again raging across urban population centres of The Beast itself.
schaden...freude!!!!
