You have to remember, for context, Bazzmand Shaw surrendered Ukraine for themselves 4 days ago. The longer this goes on and the better Ukraine does, the sillier his initial view looks, thus that’s why he has to believe Putin still has stuff up his sleeve.Actually Putin is an idiot or he wouldn’t have done this.
If a country is sovereign surely that means it can join what it likes and what the people of that country mandate it to join.
The Ukrainian drones that they bought from Turkey a few years ago are seriously disrupting Russian artillery and their supply chain.Amazing
What you have to remember is that Putin hasn't used his most deadly weapons and missiles on Ukraine and Kiev yet. He knows if he did that there would be a huge loss of innocence lives, much more than there has already been. Putin could obliterate Kiev over night without sending his troops in first. If this was a war against NATO you would see much more powerful weapons and missiles in use. Putin wants to try keep Kiev intact or at least limit the destruction of Kiev.
I suspect the EU, US, ourselves will not look for payment.Where are the Ukraine going to get the money from to pay for these arms. Their currency is shot to pieces and isnt worth the paper its printed on.
Not a fan of Trump or Johnson, especially the former but when have either done anything remotely like Putin has in the last week?
This is some fucking take.
Bear in mind that EU turned down the most effective weapon at first. Even now, the exclusion from Swift is partial. US and ourselves wanted full exclusion but compromised to get EU onside.I'm not up for a debate about this (I'm not knowledgeable enough) but I think if this resolves peacefully Britain should re-join the EU and take a leading role in massively building up EU military conventional defenses.
I didnt have a vote but I tended towards Brexit. I've completely changed my mind after this.
