here is a perfect example of a paper tiger in action;

The top UK defense chief indeed painted a very bleak picture regarding Britain's war readiness in testimony in the House of Commons this week.

"A Defence Committee meeting in the House of Commons yesterday afternoon heard the UK has just 40 tanks and roughly a dozen frigates and destroyers ready for war," one report on his words underscored. "With the Russian-Ukrainian conflict continuing, military figures are urging for larger stockpiles."

The top admiral confirmed that Britain is ‘investing like crazy’ in armored vehicles – but these won't be available till the end of the decade. Below is a summary of Adm. Radakin's words and key statements via The Daily Mail: 

On paper, the UK has around 200. But of these, only 40 are ready to go to war, it emerged yesterday.

Sir Tony responded that Britain was 'investing like crazy' in armoured vehicles which will be available by the end of this decade.

He also told MPs: 'We were at 19 frigates and destroyers, which we subsequently reduced that to 17 because some of those ships were very expensive. 

'You've then got some in maintenance and refit so it is probably 11 or 12 which are available to go out on operations.'

Sir Tony added: 'It is true across the Armed Forces, we need to have deeper stockpiles. So I wouldn't say I was happy.' ........more........

 guess who has the guns now that ordinary french citizens aren't allowed to do so, and its the same thing that would happen here. so when a drunk driver is caught do you take cars from sober drivers? same thing with guns and criminals;

In case you missed it, France entered into a pseudo-civil war this past weekend. Rioters took to the streets, destroyed billions of dollars in local property, violent criminals pulled out their illegal guns, and there was nothing the average disarmed Frenchman could do about it.  

These recent riots proved the old adage, "When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns." 

France has much stricter gun laws than anywhere in the United States. French citizens do not have the individual right to bear arms, nor carry a firearm in public for self-defense. Instead, they have strict regulations for anyone that does want to keep a firearm at home:  

• limits on the type and amount of guns and ammo you can own; 
• universal background checks; and 
• gun registration. 

Nevertheless, what began in France as mostly peaceful protests would end with fully automatic weapons and banned "weapons of war" being used to terrorize the streets of France. 

Protesters started by burning cars, starting fires, and shooting off fireworks, but soon began using shotguns to shoot out police cameras. ........more.........

 it seems that israeli's are quite thin skinned as the video reveals;

A BBC news anchor sparked outrage among Israeli and pro-Israeli occupation circles after she asked former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett about the killing of children in Jenin.

“The Israeli military are calling this a military operation, but we now know that young people are being killed, four of them under 18. Is that really what the military set out to do, to kill people between the ages of 16 and 18?” Anjana Gadgil asked.

The interview aired on Tuesday, as the Israeli occupation army carried out a massive invasion that resulted in the killing and wounding of scores of Palestinians in Jenin and the destruction of much of the Jenin refugee camp.

“On the contrary, in fact all 11 killed are fighters. The truth is that there are young terrorists who have decided to take up arms, and this is their responsibility,” Bennett, a rightwing politician answered.

“Terrorists, but children. The Israeli forces are happy to kill children?” Gadgil answered.

“You know it’s quite remarkable that you’d say that, because they’re killing us,” Bennett claimed.

“We’re not talking about that. The UN have defined them as children,” she said.

The fact that Gadgil insisted on her point, raised the ire of pro-Israel and Zionist organizations in the UK and Israel.

Following the interview, supporters of Israel and pro-Israel organizations in Britain launched a campaign against the presenter, accusing her of bias and violating the channel’s rules of neutrality, Aljazeera Arabic reported.

A formal complaint was made against Gadgil who was later forced to formally apologize.

Here is the exchange between the British journalist and the right-wing Israeli politician........more.......

Ben & Jerry's co-founder Ben Cohen set fire to a replica of the Bill of Rights Thursday outside the Department of Justice in Washington, D.C.

The businessman, activist, and philanthropist led a protest outside the DOJ to criticize the treatment of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and emphasize the importance of a free press.

"Little did we know that our greatest struggle would be when we tried to bring the First Amendment to the United States," said Cohen, who resigned as CEO of Ben & Jerry's in 1996.........more.......

 martin armstrong has some thoughts about coming attractions;

There is definitely the idea of using climate change to justify lockdowns. However, this is really not for climate change but for crowd control. They are well aware of the rising discontent civilly, which historically produces revolution. They are pushing for world war III for two reasons.

First, it will be the excuse to default on all sovereign debt as they are also attracted to the Schwab-Soros solution of a one-world government. If that is the case, then all previous sovereign debt will be null and void. The United States did that with the debt of the Continental Congress when they created the United States. That’s why you can collect the revolutionary currency that was never honored.

Secondly, they fear revolution is in the wind. In order to prevent that from taking place, they need to restrict all travel, censor social media, and lock us down using climate change as the excuse.

You may not know it, but at the Paris climate summit, they REFUSED to allow anyone to testify who disputed their agenda. That was the start of this Cancel Culture. The Guardian published the truth, perhaps ahead of schedule. There are those pushing for lockdowns every two years to meet the Paris requirement of ZERO CO2. Everyone’s future is to change, and they never ONCE allowed anyone to ever vote on this agenda. These people understand that civil unrest is on the rise. They desperately need a diversion. Russia is providing that for now.

Will people support this war against Russia and draft people to go to Ukraine? Will that be the turning point? Are you willing to send your children or yourself to fight for Ukraine over the Donbas, which is the home to Russians, not Ukrainians, for hundreds of years when it does not impact our lives? They know there will be resistance. If it is too great, you will suddenly see the need for climate change lockdowns............https://www.theburningplatform.com/2023/07/07/climate-change-lockdowns-are-coming/
