New Army chief warns UK must be ready for WAR with Russia and faces a '1937 moment' - DO NOT APPEASE PUTIN LIKE HITLER!

 Don't appease Putin like Hitler: New Army chief warns UK must be ready for WAR with Russia and faces '1937 moment' as NATO surges troops on high alert from 40,000 to 300,000 and Ben Wallace calls for big defence spending boost

• General Sir Patrick Sanders has used a speech to insist that Britain needs to remain ready to fight Putin
• He likened the current geopolitical situation to the run-up to WWII - a so-called '1937 moment' for Britain
• It comes after NATO announced it would surge its high-readiness force from 40,000 to over 300,000
• Defence Secretary Ben Wallace is pushing for a major boost in spending from NATO target of 2 per cent GDP  
• The speech came the same day that Putin's missiles horrifically attacked a shopping mall in Kremenchuk

• Britain must be ready to 'fight and win' against Russia rather than repeating the mistakes of appeasement that let Hitler run riot, the new head of the Army warned today.

  In a dramatic intervention, General Sir Patrick Sanders said the country faces a '1937 moment' over Vladimir Putin's 'brutal aggression' - a reference to the notorious policy of giving ground to the German dictator before the Second World War.

  He said the will to 'act rapidly' was the only way to prevent Russia's expansionism ending in all-out war in Europe.

  • Russia's former president has warned any encroachment on the Crimea peninsula by a NATO member-state could amount to a declaration of war on Russia which could lead to 'World War Three'.

    Dmitry Medvedev, a Putin ally, also said that if Finland and Sweden joined NATO, Russia would be ready for 'retaliatory steps' - and that could include installing Iskander hypersonic missiles 'on their threshold'.

    'For us, Crimea is a part of Russia. And that means forever. Any attempt to encroach on Crimea is a declaration of war against our country,' Medvedev told the news website Argumenty i Fakty.
