Love it.

They’ve roped in George Robertson as NATO Secretary General. I’d have preferred a European just for the added fun. 🤩

#TheWargame

You can’t assume NATO are going to respond, unless you tell them and you need to request a raising of the alert level via SHAPE.

Are the UK going to invoke Article 5?

#TheWargame

Ooh it’s @gordoncorera.bsky.social

#TheWargame

WTAF is this statement by Sturgeon?

We need facts, not platitudes.

#TheWargame

I’m also a bit meh about why the retired General is wearing uniform, and also the people in the ‘Ops Room’.

#TheWargame

So they’ve not raised the Alert Level, no raising of the Threat Level, no amendment or increase of the Rules of Engagement. They’re more focused on petty retaliation and public image.

So the 3 services are in the dark?

#TheWargame

Credits roll.

I’ll save the next episode until tomorrow. I can only handle so much comedy in one night.

#TheWargame

Lmao. So now our mock Ops Room is scrambling a P8 maritime patrol aircraft.

Because of course PJHQ at Northwood and HQ Air High Wycombe have taken the afternoon off to go play squash… FFS.

They’d have had a P8 shadowing the Russian already!

#TheWargame

Jim Murphy is a curious choice for Foreign Secretary, he’s clearly not a diplomat!

#TheWargame

Wouldn’t you ask the UN to conduct an independent investigation?

Thank crunchie for Harriet Harman. She’s advocating diplomacy, but she’s role playing as Home Secretary.

Meanwhile the Foreign Secretary is discussing going to war. Crazy

#TheWargame

It does feel a bit like the Russians are pulling a Gleiwitz incident.

So I’m wondering if the script writers are going down that path?

#TheWargame

Lmao. 🤣

So COBRA is now informing the Coastguard? Because of course it’s not like they’re monitoring the Maritime Emergency Frequency 24/7???

And are we assuming the Russian vessel had turned its AIS beacon off?

#TheWargame

So they’re down in the weeds debating crap and there’s no mention of raising the threat level.

#TheWargame

This whole concept for #TheWargame has the COBRA politicians working at the Strategic, Operational and Tactical levels.

It’s nonsense!

It’s as if the OODA Loop and Kill Chain don’t exist.

They’re in the weeds and if I was at HQ AIR or PJHQ I’d be sitting back in my chair wondering why I was needed.

#TheWargame

Now I’m wondering why COBRA would start tasking a specific frigate? Wouldn’t they ask PJHQ to issue appropriate orders?

I’m only 10 minutes in and I’m already wondering who put this together.

#TheWargame

So they don’t get briefed by anyone and they just brief themselves?

Is that realistic or is it just for the tv?

#TheWargame

Not always been Mr Gove's biggest fan but.... what a decision to make.

Watch #TheWarGame, if you can.

Properly chilling and revealing viewing.

I would just hope that in this reality - this world that we're in, that if #TheWarGame actually happened - The Americans would in fact help us.

#thewargame is very good but would have been better with actors not ex politicians playing the parts, Gove tragically thinks he’s coming across as the best PM we never had
