In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold. We are here to discuss them in a civil political debate. If this is your first visit to our political forums, be sure to check out the RULES.

Army to Begin Forcing Out Soldiers Who Refuse COVID Vaccine, Including Guardsmen
There is no real evidence to support this. This is the case for most vaccines, not just ones developed for Covid -19 The Virus is endemic, it is never going away.

Finally : "UK must be ready for war with Moscow , says armed forces chief" God save the Queen !
To be fair, in all out war neither country could inflict much physical damage other other short of lobbing nukes at each other. Not enough expeditionary forces on either side. The Brits and Russia have usually got fought in other ways. Special forces, intelligence/data gathering, proxy... -

US Urges Beijing to Cease Its Military Coercion (Barrage) Against Taiwan - Is This an 'Act of War' Against Taiwan by Beijing?

Should the US increase military commitments with the Philippines against China’s growing dominance in the South China Sea?
You have already addressed the S400, so I will analyze the Su-35 purchase. A mere 25 were bought and it was widely excepted to be as a political favour to Putin which would help shore up UAC's finances. Russia was initially reluctant to sell their best stuff to China for obvious reasons, but a... -

Should the US increase military commitments with the Philippines against China’s growing dominance in the South China Sea?
Russia has bugger all left to sell the Chinese. The Su-35 and S-400 were sold for reasons of financial desperation and political favors, not because they would provide a meaningful boost to the Chinese military. -
