Could UK troops end up fighting in Russian stronghold?

A remote island like England is always stealing other countries' territories. It wants to pick a fight with Russia—which is closer and actually has a legitimate claim to sovereignty—yet England seeks war while sending its attack dog, the USA, to do the fighting. I hope the US comes to its senses and stops sacrificing the blood of its children just so the British Crown can live like millionaires—people who have never worked a day in their lives and live off the sweat of the common people.

About the pictures with car caravan waiving russian flags and helicopter overhead. Sysselman (Norwegian representative, sort of King of Svalbard) reacted to this poweplay. At least the helicopter flight was heavily fined. And I believe they didn't run the car caravan anymore.

The uk couldn’t send a single warship to Cyprus to defend British territory when Iran kicked off. Our army had to stop training the other day due to a lack of funds. No, we are not going to fight the Russian in some Norwegian island. Also why would we want to???

Thank you for presenting the BFBS variant of American Trump logic: The voters UK wants to be in NATO - but only defend the important parts of the UK? <br><br>Here is a funny part - if Russia &quot;win&quot; Svalbard, thank god it is no longer our duty to give your Farage an early warning about Russian aircraft, submarines, war vessels - as you embrace their new base. <br><br>That is some solid &quot;English-speaking thinking&quot; from our English-speaking allies, as of late. Canadians seem to be the only nation (north or Equator) that can think in English recently, probably helped by the fact that they also know French (slightly less depraved of logical breakdown). <br><br>BFBS - in case you Britons forgot - you are in NATO - you may be called upon to defend a shed in Poland or Italy. In case your English logic failed you....we give you a heads-up hours before your RAF pilots pretend to have a massive rush of &quot;quick alert&quot; surprises for your channel - we defend your local pub with questionable cleanliness 24/7. <br><br>Vote Farage and Trump - you are clearly above NATO as you pick and choose what is worth defending of NATO. <br><br>(God - Norway did the worst mistake ever with the Type 26 - the UK people are best trusted by &quot;Reform&quot; and BFBS. UK is going to be the 51st American - while defending)<br><br>Edit - leave NATO, BFBS - you risk defending something as worthless as a Finnish Sauna or a Romanian field of grass)

NO, UK troops are more likely to be fighting on British and Irish streets in the upcoming UK Civil War, against the invading Islamist Immigrants.<br>It&#39;s rapidly approaching now, so people need to prepare themselves, the Muslims in this country are already heavily armed, every local Mosque acting like a local armoury.

What happened to nuclear deterrance? Why is NATO trying to sell a war with Russia that won&#39;t happen? Trying the American model of faking an existential threat to push massive and pointless arms spending? It&#39;s bankrupting us over here. You want that to happen to the UK? You&#39;re poor enough already.

The only reason British troops will fight Russians is if our stupid politicians in the UK keep pushing the Bear! And if social trouble in the UK persists, the UK government will need a distraction, and a scrape with the Russians will be it.... What could Britain and NATO do? Deny the Russians freedom of movement from their northern naval bases... we have form!!!

This article seems a bit of a mash up, with a really stupid soundtrack. 1. Describing Svalbard as Norwegian territory isn&#39;t strictly correct; research the Svalbard treaty. 2 The Russians there stay mainly at the mining communities in places like Barentsburg. Without roads or infrastructure it&#39;s a long shot for them to be disruptive elsewhere. 3. The Svalbard treaty stipulates the islands are demilitarised. 4/10 Please do homework, and stop assaulting my ears with screeching background muzakk.

It isn&#39;t a stronghold, it is a small outpost of Russian citizens who live on the <b>Norweigian</b> island of Svalbard, under Norweigian sovereignty.<br><br>There are special rules governing the island, but this island is neither Russian nor a stronghold. In fact the island is demilitarised. The former Russian mining settlement is just a few hundred people.<br><br>Let&#39;s not give strength to Russian territorial ambitions, bit of an unforced error this @forces_news.
