Ex-RAF top gun (call sign Hooligan) has made a killing training China's fighter pilots - and helped recruit dozens of British airmen paid £250,000 a year by Beijing... so why has the MoD only just woken up to this outrage?

#1 Could Liz Truss have a 'Hooligan' in her past ?

Excerpts from TFASA response:

* On 19 Oct 2022 a UK Ministry of Defence (“UK MoD”) spokesman told the BBC that: “the training and the recruiting of pilots does not breach any current UK law.” (BBC News).

* TFASA also wishes to highlight that it has been in contact with the UK MoD for many years and they are fully aware of the nature of the company’s business.

#3 Elements training Ukrainians now. Who knows how many troops their now. Marines in Sweden and other border nations at this time. Early on Navy seals lodged(hardly rustic) in fancy motel in I believe Kyiv. Short stay as military showed up and demanded they leave. So without hesitation they left. This story told by a Seal who was there. So at any time USA and NATO will attack when the mood suits them. Just as Putin warned of over many years. Same efforts worked in the Arab world called the domino effect. How did that turn out as with other areas as with Vietnam, Afghanistan and so on. Massive money printing. Pallets of money airmailed to even Russia during the cold war. Obama, and Biden promote this diplomatic effort. Perhaps Putin realizing this and China promote an alternate world dominate currency. With real value backing it up based on things of value not based on paper. So a short term effort. Past history demonstrates the end results repeatedly. Bloated and overextended in many conflicts saps the true wealth of any nation. Today's world the nuclear option is now available. Biden's mental state is an unsettling thought having the nuclear codes.

#5 I would imagine that they've been told not to mention anything classified, and report back on "interesting" items.

#6 That's it, Dale, shit something out of your facial anus in Old Coot Mode about Ukraine, maybe people will forget to be mad about the betrayal to China.
