Russian invasion of Ukraine

You and your 'mate' do seem to get very upset about the misspelling of your little town.

I do wonder me

A pair of wrong uns

Again complete and utter horse shit.

Before accusing people of posting horseshit you should do a bit of research. You might be surprised to find the horseshit is coming from a little closer to home.

Another one who hasn’t got a clue how NATO is funded.
The operational costs of NATO are funded proportionally to each members GDP and everyone contributes a fair amount.
What Trump was talking about was individual country’s defence budgets and was deliberately incorrectly conflating it with paying for NATO, then making out that everyone owed the US money. It was bullshit then and it still is. Some NATO members should undoubtedly spend more on their own defence, and they had committed to up their spending to 2% by 2024. I suspect that after this those countries will get their spending up rather quicker than they would have done.

This shows spending vs the recommended 2%.

It is true that most don’t hit the 2% and before the US started throwing their weight around a few years ago it was worse, but it wasn’t Trump that fixed it.

The only time people should be mentioning trump in this thread is to remember he illegally withheld $400m of military aid from Ukraine and blackmailed Zelensky demanding he fabricate stories about Joe Biden to help him win the election before he got them.

Rumours that China will abstain which is as good as we will ever get to them not agreeing with Russia who will of course use their veto.

In times of war the lives of men don’t matter, only the objective matters. You only remeber the dead once the war has ended.

In the meantime, you hope for as many dead as possible on the other side.

War is cruel and not like normal times. It sounds horrible but there’s no sentiment when it comes to war.

No, you remember those immediately, and continually, we honour their passing once the war is finished.

Friends don’t die, they just move on to a different place in the mind.

Think Zelensky has been seriously impressive throughout all of this.

Think Zelensky has been seriously impressive throughout all of this.

I can't imagine ever saying the same about our leader!

 

[hello]

Think Zelensky has been seriously impressive throughout all of this.

Don’t forget he’s a genocidal Jewish nazi
