Russia has already been "backed into a corner". Their armies were routed in Kyiv and Kharkiv. Their naval flagship was sunk. Their Black sea fleet has been driven from Sevastopol. Their iconic bridge has been blown up twice. No nukes. This should tell you something about how empty their...

Very hard to know how it's really going ATM. Russians managing to get the resources together for attacks, Ukranians seem stalled in land gains, but destroying Russian equipment for fun, Russian fleet driven from Sevastopol. Who knows what the sum of that all amounts too, or what it indicates...

I'm sure you're right. Also, the other subtext is that Israel's warning to leave is clearly impossible to implement, so not made in good faith. I fear death and suffering of terrifying magnitude will follow; perhaps not as appallingly gruesome and individually cruel as that inflicted by...

Aye, conflict in the middle east is extremely simple and without any nuance.

It feels quite strange writing this given the last few years in the UK, but I'm really proud of the unity and consensus in our politics on this. [hope I've not cursed it now]

I think it's all important; without cash Ukraine would fail as without arms. It seems from my very limited knowledge that France could and should do more on arms; equally there are other ways we could do more. I'm very happy that we've been one of the leaders on arms. Given the limited...

In military specifically, yes, but not in total - exactly as I posted "French military support to Ukraine is much lower than the UK, but overall French support to Ukraine is actually higher."

The only person latching on to it was you. Take your own advice?

French military support to Ukraine is much lower than the UK, but overall French support to Ukraine is actually higher. https://www.ifw-kiel.de/topics/war-against-ukraine/ukraine-support-tracker/ Military support is dominated by the US and Germany. Surprisingly, there are very few European...

Yes, you are mistaken... ...but they do all think the same as they're brainwashed from birth. Got it.

I hope I'm mistaken, but you appear to think that all Muslims think the same. That's clearly not the case.

Sure, and unpleasant people in other religions do likewise. And there are many Muslims who would have no truck whatever with their religion being used by Hamas in this way. Using religion to justify evil is not unique to Islam.

There are many different interpretations of ancient religious texts. The bible has been used as pretext for burning heretics in the past, and still is today to persecute homosexuals in some branches of the religion. The point is not what the texts say, it's how they are interpreted and used to...

UEFA plan to allow Russian U17 teams seems to have been symied. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/oct/10/uefa-forced-into-stalling-plans-to-reintegrate-russias-under-17-teams

Comedy thread that way ---->>>>

I hope you're right. I've no confidence in anything from US politics at the moment.

Most of the military aid is from the US in reality.

Events in Washington currently are probably the most important thing for Ukraine; I've little insight into the shenanigans other than that funding is currently at risk and the Republican party are populated by absolute lunatics.

Take your obsessions to the politics thread.
