Current Affairs Ukraine

The bottom line here is saving lives. Lines on where borders are (always changing) and national sovereignty mean f.a. to me as I'm an internationalist and socialist.

Do you think this country is free? If the US tells our government to put its hand in a fire they'll do EXACTLY that.

Starmer's Chief of Staff McSweeney has been with Trump's people all week kissing ass and promising Trump fealty on NATO spending, aligning with the EU...just so the UK gets his nod on making any tariffs to the UK economy go away.

So Europe should have just let Hitler win to save millions of lives.

You really are dumb as ….

Continue to send aid by the looks of it, according to FT.

Didn’t have that on your bingo card eh Dave?

At the end of the day it is Congress apportions the funding and there are still a few old school GOP members supportive of Ukraine.
Trump may need to bargain with them to get what he wants elsewhere due to the small majority

How do you impact on the population, making life slightly more uncomfortable, without firing cruise missiles at them or starting them of power and warmth?

Answers on a (check notes) bank card.

Simple answer is to pay people desperate and stupid enough to commit acts of terrorism.

But doing so you lose all claim of being an innocent victim if the same happens back.

Same as assassinating military officers outside their homes or with car bombs etc.

Act of desperation doing so in reality.

In actual fact Europe pretty much did exactly that in large part - the exceptions being Britain as an island nation able to resist - and Russia/USSR who refused to yield despite the horrific costs.

The rest of Europe folded like a cheap suit, Poland resisted bravely, outside of those who actually fought to resist ...

Oh wise one, please educate me how long/hard each European country fought before surrendering to Germany?

How many casualties they received before capitulation?

I'll give you an hour to check Wikipedia as you likely have zero idea about anything without referring to that...

Aren't you the one suggesting Ukraine should surrender instead of fighting long and hard?

And I haven't checked Wiki so perhaps you could remind me, it was 1939 when the Soviet Union invaded Poland in coordination with the Nazis right?

Is my hour up yet?

Yeah but you know, during The Dymitriads in 1605, Poland invaded Russia first mate, food for thought mate.

Who was the massive danger that was waffling on about the lack of Ukrainian PhD's and it being because of the simplicity of the language and the schools not being up to much.

And now, Timmy the teacher from Tyumen turns up.
