Russian invasion of Ukraine

Woke up to news that Ukraine will not be getting the Mugs from Poland. Very disappointed to here that.

Shapps on TV now saying it's because NATO don't want to be seen for escalating things by providing these weapons. Pity the interviewer didn't ask what's the difference between what weaponry is provided to Ukraine and why doesn't what NATO has already given not escalate things.

Oh, and FFS government stop answering every question with " the UK was first".

Polish mugs eh? I guess the offer just wasn’t the Americans cup of tea.

Seriously though, I think it’s anything that’s isn’t exclusively defensive in nature is not going to be given. The fault of this story lay with the EU, they are the ones responsible for this grandiose announcement of false hope - saying it was going to happen without actually discussing it with partners first - predominantly NATO.

Poland shouldn’t have publicly dropped the US in it either - should have been done privately. Putin has woken up this morning thinking what? my threats have worked - cue more incoming threats.

I guess Poland are seeing first hand the fallout from this war with the volume of evacuees and the pain in every one of their eyes and felt the need to do something more than is currently being done.

We are already providing lethal and defensive weapons, and yet, giving warplanes us a no no

It's disappointing but understandable.
Nuclear winter would be a fucker.
 
This is the statue of Wellington outside GOMA in Glasgow. Usually he has an ordinary traffic cone on his head. Its our way of saying we dont care who you are, how famous, we are putting a cone on your head. The council tried to remove it hundreds of times, then gave up. A Glasgow woman knitted this and her husband got a ladder and put it up. Small gestures of solidarity and support. Well done Glasgow.

Brilliant, I remember reading about the battle between students and the council regarding the traffic cone.
