Because if they can’t stop a few inflatable boats, obviously they’re ready to take on Russia.

🧂 Border Patrol Blunders Now Come With a Side of Nuclear Threat

Ah yes, the UK and France—Europe’s most famously efficient collaborators—have announced they’re “prepared” to send troops to Ukraine… after a peace deal. You know, the kind of deal that usually follows after a devastating war, countless broken promises, and several years of awkward international side-eyes. 🤝🕊️

But here’s the real kicker: these are the same two nations who can’t even stop small rubber boats from crossing the English Channel. Hundreds of migrants per day drift across with nothing but an outboard motor and more determination than either government can muster on a good day.

So now, they’re gearing up to face off against Russia? A military superpower with tanks, missiles, and zero patience for international waffle? Let’s be serious.

If you can’t secure a 21-mile stretch of water between Dover and Calais, what on Earth makes anyone think you’re ready to lock down a frontline in Donetsk? 🗺️🚧

This isn’t diplomacy—it’s delusion. It’s like a lifeguard who keeps missing the kiddie pool claiming they’re ready for open-ocean rescue ops. If your response to inflatables is red tape and press conferences, your response to Russian aggression is likely to be a strongly worded letter and a NATO Zoom call that cuts out halfway through. 📉📡

And remember: this “multinational reassurance force” is theoretical. It kicks in after the war. Which is convenient, because they don’t seem prepared to participate during the actual fighting. It’s all the optics of power, none of the responsibility.

So the question remains:

If they can’t stop boats, how the hell are they going to stop bombs? 💣🤔

Still think they’ve got this under control? Or is this just global theatre starring two post-imperial has-beens fumbling their way through a serious crisis? Drop your thoughts below—mockery, disbelief, or diplomatic despair welcome. 💬👇
