Heroic UK troops ready to defend Ukraine once war's over

BRITAIN’S courageous fighting forces are eager to step in and defend Ukraine once the war is over and any threat of violence is gone.

A landmark agreement between the UK and France will see Britain’s famously valiant forces deployed in Ukraine once they have 100 per cent certainty that they will not be shot at by Russians.

An Army spokesperson said: “Our boys are raring to go. All they’re waiting for is a peace treaty to be inked and they’ll swoop right in, ready for anything peaceful and reasonably pleasant.

“The second the last tank rolls out of the Donbas region they’ll be there to show Putin who’s boss. Actually, maybe once the rubble’s been bulldozed and the territory’s been swept for mines. We don’t want any nasty injuries.

“Either way, it’ll be this generation’s D-Day. Plucky old Britain to Europe’s rescue in the face of overwhelming adversity once again. But instead of the Nazi war machine, this time we’ll be facing demilitarised zones.

“Even as we speak our crack forces are busy training. The ranks are building their collections of porn DVDs, and officers are lazily leaning back on chairs in mess halls while scrolling phones. Yes, Ukraine is in safe hands.”

Soldier Martin Bishop said: “We’ve been given orders to retreat if one of us gets so much as a paper cut. No need to drag NATO into this.”

Trump unpredictable, if you don't realise he only does easy stuff he can personally profit from

IT is impossible to predict Donald Trump’s actions except by working out what is easy to do that he will personally gain prestige or money from, according to political observers. 

The world has entered a new era of head-spinning erratic leadership, with the one minor caveat that any actions will follow the simple rule of being achieved without difficulty and promising untold millions to the presidency.

Julian Cook in Washington DC said: “Who could have foreseen the assault on Venezuela? Anyone aware the CIA had briefed the White House they could snatch Maduro tomorrow and also that Venezuela was oil-rich.

“And what will happen to Venezuela now? Well, Trump won’t invade because that would be hard, but will be paid off so they can carry on roughly as before. Easy and profit. See?

“Will he fix healthcare? No, that’s hard and abstract. Will he put his name on the Kennedy Centre? Yes, that’s easy and he gets his name on a big building in gold.

“Canada can relax. It’s safe from invasion because it would be difficult. Greenland is f**ked because he can take it over tomorrow, assign himself 100 per cent of the mineral rights and change its name to Trumponia.”

He added: “Rigging a World Cup and Olympics on US soil and declaring midterm election results invalid? Easy. Don’t act all surprised when it happens.”
