Hamish de Bretton Gordon can't explain the UK government's inaction over Russian missiles to Ukraine

19 April 2024: Hamish de Bretton Gordon can't explain the UK government's inaction over Russian missiles that target Ukraine and lay waste to the latter country. HDBG is a former British Army tank commander who frequently comments on military affairs. Here he is interviewed by Times Radio.Show more

The excerpt, from [0], sees the interviewer ask him point blank to compare the recent defense of Israel, which was attacked on Saturday 13 April by a variety of 300 drones and missiles from Iran, and the continued inaction over Ukraine, which is almost nightly being attacked by Russian missiles and drones.

It looks to the interviewer (and yours truly as well) like a failure of diplomacy to have UK government action in Israel and UK government inaction in Ukraine (or over the waters of the Black Sea, as HDBG points out).

The illogical actions taken by the UK government indicates to many observers that we have entered a twilight zone in which it is every man for himself. Forewarned is forearmed.
