Trump's refusal to help NATO allies has left Britain no choice but to make plans to conscript says GENERAL RICHARD SHIRREFF

GENERAL SIR RICHARD SHIRREFF: For everyone's sake, Britain must bring Europe together. But we must also take 'action this day' to defend ourselves.



General Richard Shirreff, in an article for the Daily Mail Online, discusses how President Trump's refusal to commit to NATO's mutual defense principle, particularly regarding potential Russian aggression in Eastern Europe, has left Britain and Europe reliant on their own defense capabilities. Shirreff, a former NATO Deputy Supreme Allied Commander, argues that Europe must increase defense spending, establish a Ukraine defense fund, and possibly consider conscription to strengthen its military. He criticizes Europe's historical reliance on the U.S. and calls for British leadership to unite the continent. The article also notes Russia's criticism of Britain's plans to deploy troops in Ukraine.
