The crucial decision on Ukraine will be made in 2024, said a British colonel who believes that if the Russian Armed Forces make serious progress and Ukraine collapses, the North Atlantic Alliance will be forced to send troops.
This means a Russia-NATO war in the coming years.
The British seem to be aligning themselves with the Germans. We remind you that German analysts, the Minister of Defense of Germany, Boris Pistorius, and the German Chancellor, Olaf Scholz, revealed in the Bundestag that Europe must be rearmed immediately in a short period of time as war with Russia approaches.
And this is because after Ukraine, Poland, the Baltic countries and now Finland are the next fields of NATO-Russia military confrontations.
Hamish de Bretton-Gordon, a retired colonel of the British army, sees this scenario as very likely and will depend on what decision is made regarding the course of the conflict.
This view was expressed by the British chemical weapons expert and former commander of the British ABC weapons regiment in an interview on Talk TV.
"The West has already done everything for Kiev's troops, from aid to humanitarian aid to the supply of weapons - so the last step left is to send in its own troops.
So far this has been avoided, but if Russia makes serious progress in the Ukraine war, it cannot be ruled out that NATO members - mainly the US and Great Britain - as well as other Western allies such as Australia will have to reconsider the position them" he said.
Specifically, when asked specifically whether the collective West would send its own troops to fight alongside Kiev in 2024, de Bretton-Gordon replied:
"It is not beyond the realm of possibility that if serious progress is made on the front by Russia, NATO and Western allies such as Australia will have to reconsider their stance."
The colonel says that any move depends on NATO countries' assessment of the magnitude of the threat to them from Russia after its victory in Ukraine:
"This could really mean the possibility of British and other forces fighting in Ukraine."
The West can avoid this necessity by expanding the supply of military equipment, especially ammunition, he stressed!
