Defence cuts put in place by Boris Johnsons Government will see UK troop numbers reduced by 10,000. Liz Truss the UK Foreign Secretary defended the cuts by saying “We all need to recognise that warfare now is different to warfare as it was 100 years ago, or 200 years ago.”. I’m wondering why, if soldiers are no longer needed in modern warfare, the UK is currently training 10,000 Ukraine troops in Manchester. I also wonder if some of the soon to be redundant UK soldiers are doing the training?
