Should Trentham Enter World War Three
Yesterday, Russia bombing came within 7.5km (5 minutes vehicle travel time) of starting the third world war.
Russia who are not doing as well as it had anticipated, is tempted to use chemical warfare on the poor Ukrainians, a presumed red line action for the USA.
It must be noted that Russia and the USA have both used chemical weapons in previous wars on multiple occasions.
If NATO and Europe including of course in both instances the UK get into conflict with the Russians (and possibly the Chinese), should NZ go into battle as we have done in the first and second world wars?
DO we side with the Ukrainian who famously said:"Russian warship, go @%&* yourself" not only in words but in action. Or should we be like USA in the second world war and assist our allies in other ways than sending troops and only physically take part if attacked. I suppose Trentham army base will become a target which does not make the surrounding residential areas safe havens.
I wonder if there is any extra urgency at this juncture within the Trentham ranks.
