Londoners reacted strongly on Tuesday after Britain’s top military chief warned that the country’s “sons and daughters” may need to be ready to fight — and potentially be “sacrificed” — in a future war with Russia.

Air Chief Marshal Sir Richard Knighton said there was a possibility Russia could pose a direct threat to the UK and warned that the country must be prepared to face “real, physical threats.” He added that families, veterans and civilians could all have roles to play if conflict were to occur.

The comments have reignited debate in Britain over national defence readiness, military capacity and the balance between deterrence and diplomacy amid heightened tensions between Russia and NATO.

00:00I think that I feel that that's a sort of silly thing to say and I feel a bit dismissive about
00:15it really like well that's you know a silly thing to say but I guess with somebody as powerful as
00:20that maybe we shouldn't be dismissing what somebody powerful like that says and I don't
00:27think that anyone would be keen to sacrifice their sons and daughters I mean what what a thing to say
00:35it's outrageous no there should be much more diplomacy before anything like that happens
00:40definitely not lose my child I think that's a bit harsh but no I'm not really too keen to pick up a
00:52gun either if I'm being honest I got a lot of you know I'm studying at the moment I'm only 22 so
00:57not something I'm really interested in to be honest
01:00I was prepared at all nobody's going to fight dying for the Ukraine for who controls eastern Ukraine
01:12that's what you're going to die for I mean it's it's it's total nonsense nobody's going to sign up
01:16nobody's going to go so I I don't even think they're serious about themselves I don't know
01:22why they're kind of trying to push this maybe to try and scare the Russians but it's total nonsense
01:28I think all this war is wrong people fighting and killing each other what do they gain from it
01:37literally what do they gain you know people die in your country their country and that for what
01:43it's just they just want power don't they power crazy they are especially that Putin I think he'd
01:49start a war tomorrow if he could really I think it's only because of US that he doesn't do it
01:55I think the government needs to concentrate on educating the masses and supporting the masses
02:06and not sending people into further global conflict that nobody actually wants
02:13I think the Russians are worried at all I mean the Russians are going to win the war in Ukraine
02:22they're in a powerful position I think the neocons in DC made a massive mistake provoking Russia into
02:29an invasion and so I mean the peace deal if it's signed will be in Russia's favor
02:39I don't think it's fully prepared 100% I don't think so really definitely not now I don't think we've
02:50got enough people soldiers and all that lot really I don't really I don't think so we're not ready
03:00my personal view is that the Russia Ukraine war is a proxy war that doesn't need to be fought so I
03:09wouldn't encourage any young person and to be honest I don't think any young person in their right mind
03:14would actually want to go out go to war I don't think it's right that's what I would say but I
03:25mean if it's a it depends if they're up for it and if it's their choice then that's fine but to force
03:31them to go and do that then I think that's a bit silly yeah
