Jan 2025 new/old US president takes over and with many troubles at home the US goes back to the 1920's and becomes much more insular. Reduced interest in the war and financial fatigue with Ukraine the west falters and Russia makes big gains, China enboldened by an inactive west takes back Tiawan, with minimum fuss, whilst the world has enough to contend with. The Iranian version of the muslim world continues to attack and harass anything and anyone connected to Israel or the US and its allies . Afghanistan heads back to the dark ages and no one notices. Meanwhile back in blighty Romeo Beckham reveals his recipe for hash browns and Tik Tok goes into frenzy. Finally an RAF focus group decides that although there will be a 15% force reduction free socks remain.
I think the 'heat' in the world right now is rising led by Putin who can fund his war until we all get fcuked off with piling moderate amounts of money into the Ukraine war chest. Unless we get involved in the Ukraine to end it and put in place a peacekeeping force, Putin will win through on sheer bloody mindedness and belligerence, with a side order of his people too scared to resist in any useful numbers...then lets see where else he goes as he goads his Iranian and Chinese pals to expand their involvement and stretch any resistance to their advances.Mystic TB says 2025 is when it all goes South.

Agreed it's a whistful, rose tinted, pipe dream from a different age that just doesn't fit the generation inhabiting todays world. Putin and other dictators might be able to bully citizens into complying but in the west its non starter.Not in my lifetime will conscription come in.
Maybe a few dangled carrots may help.
A brand new top-of-range smartphone with unlimited text, calls and data for the duration of phase 1 and 2 training should have them queuing down the streets.
On completion of training, they take on the SIM contract but get a nice big tablet to keep.

Aren't there any gash retired MRAFs around? Just to add that vintage touch.Is that the same RAF Focus group led by an Air Marshal , comprising 3 Air Commodores, 6 Group Captains and 18 Squadron Leaders?
They would have had a couple of AVMs and a dozen Wing Commanders too, but they wanted to "set an example of cutting the cloth accordingly"
But we don't need runways, we have F35B. Or not 2B.Perhaps all this talk about a potential future conflict is a good reason for NOT accommodating members of the Cross Channel Rubber Boat Club on airfields that would be needed to support operations? When the last Vulcan sqn disbanded at Scampton, AOC I Group said whatever the future for the station, the RAF must not give up its runway.
They all are - it's the only rank you can hold until death and still get paid an outrageous amount.Aren't there any gash retired MRAFs around? Just to add that vintage touch.
