Quote ="Scarlet Pimpernell"The government use the excuse that this is a time of war therefore why weaken our own defences whilst at the same time sending over equipment they currently cannot use. I agree Ukraine need arms therefore why did the USA not take up the offer from Poland to allow their Mig jets to go to Ukraine and the USA replace them.
If I was being cynical it could be suggested that de Pfeffel is more interested in self preservation at any costs because we have to face facts that we were happy to allow Russian oligarchs to launder their money through the U.K. with some actually donating to the Conservatives.'"
As already explained the decision to cut armed forces was made well before this conflict.
Its well documented why the USA rejected Polands "offer"
But now we seem to be getting to your actual point................................................this has nothing to do with armed forces cutbacks,nothing to do with giving assistance to Ukraine , nothing to do with USA /Poland offer. Your last sentence sums up everything - what a disingenuous human being you are.
