Pretty interesting thought process/discussion.
Seems the UK has a couple of MP's pushing for Britain to formally enter the Ukraine (US Proxy) v Russia (China Proxy) war and send troops to the meat grinder.
As someone who has been a non-resident UK Citizen longer than resident it brings up a interesting dilemma, as the UK citizens (if it occurs) are drafted (conscripted) what happens to us Non-Residents (observe on TV down the local watering hole) - What happened during WW2 with non-resident Brits (yanks, Cad's Anzacs etc).
Obviously from my view, the demographics of Ukraine (pre-war) and Russia (pre-war) ultimately represent countries that were all but on life support anyway, the UK / West pushing the idea it's for democracy is laughable as we've essentially (with the EU) taken their natural resources (young fertile females, children) into our system, and even IF Ukraine wins, they won't likely go back when pre-war a doctor would earn roughly 400 Euro a month... (IF memory serves - approx) and now being in Europe/UK etc for x years applications for citizenship would be in their favour, opposed to returning to a bombed out hell-hole, no infrastructure (10+ yrs to re-build), agriculture mined (10 yrs to clear) etc - it's what makes this war so interesting as a observer, Ukraines are literally being slaughtered to no benefit as in a generation or few the country would have collapsed anyway, then its claimed for Democracy and Sovereignty, at the same time they are pushing to join the EU (become a member state thus a province of the EU, which means Sovereignty gone, and Democracy doesn't exist in the EU as the elected head branch are elected by representatives but not by the people).
Setting that aside, are we non residents citizens residing in LOS (i don't mean the old <deleted>, you can carry on slurping beers in the brothels) heading to the front :D
