It’s not charity you know Ukraine will have to pay back over a long HP plan while we get rid of old stock.
Our military gain very useful experience in training soldiers in the art of warfare, it’s got nothing to do with whether Ukraine win or lose, it’s about helping a neighbouring country.

What we're doing for Ukraine extends far beyond simple help, we're supplying and teaching Ukraine to defeat Russia at any cost.

My worry is just what that cost will be in the long term, it may mean that our military is cut to nothing as resources are being redirected to fund more arms for Ukraine instead of here. At somepoint though Ukraine is going to need people more than it needs arms and that will be the tipping point.

WW3 would be well underway had NATO not existed as a combined force and more importantly had we and the west not possessed nuclear weapons. The fact that some people still believe that we should give up nuclear weapons today is incredible.

There isnt a war here, and there wont be. The reason our military exists is to help Nato partners and fight against Russian aggresion through the world. That is WWIII, or this WWIII. It isnt simple help, we are actually doing it

Ukraine has 3.8mn draft-eligible men left to mobilise.

They are never going to have more arms than men.

I wish we and the rest of Europe/US were supplying Ukraine at any cost. We are not. We are doing just enough. We need to do more. And by ‘we’ I mean everyone.

The cost in the long term if we don’t is war in Eastern Europe dragging in Poland et al and by extension ourselves. Sweden and Finland decided to join NATO because they fear this happening.
