You say that as if Ukraine isn’t Europe’s 3rd biggest country. What would you define as victory? Just to be clear because I don’t want to misinterpret anything here… 49.8% of the US voted for Trump, what % of the 77.3m of those people would you say are ‘uneducated’ or ‘misinformed?’ Just as...

Even if all those things are true and that’s debatable… Russia has the political will to prosecute war, Europe really doesn’t. Things aren’t much better over the pond in the EU. The issues are more or less copied and pasted in all the major EU economies.

Classic playbook of condescending liberals… anyone who votes in a way contrary to how they vote is ‘uneducated’, ‘susceptible to propaganda’ or the best one ‘didn’t know what they were voting for’. People know what they voted for, they’re not uneducated and cajoled by propaganda… they just have...

Perfect, then all the European powers can join the war in Ukraine and win it without the USA. Russia has a more active military personnel than approximately; France, Italy, Germany, UK, Spain and Poland combined. There’s still change left over of around 100k military. Russia’s economy and...

There you go and he said he’s never been so proud of a US president before… it’s not like a bad thing for the US to put US interests first. Our number one priority should be ourselves. Look at the sorry state of our armed forces, we’re not in a position to project power even if we wanted too.

He’s not a well versed diplomat and quite confrontational. He’s offended the Biden administration and a few European states. Trump is someone you don’t want to berate or risk humiliating in public and that’s exactly what Zelensky did.

The US public opinion seems to be in favour of Trump and Vance here. He’s in the Oval Office, dressed in military slacks and because he doesn’t seem grateful, it’s rubbed up a lot of Americans up the wrong way. Watching the whole unprofessional exchange in full, in my view, Zelensky said a few...

If you look at how devastated the occupied regions are and the sheer manpower Russia has lost… it’s almost been relegated to China’s vassal with how dependent it is on them economically. The cost of the war on Russia means they would rather fight to the death than give up their ‘gains’...

In reality Russia has exhausted a lot of its military capacity and unlike Ukraine and Georgia, the Baltics are in the EU and members of NATO. Therefore, there’s an obligation to fight Russia then. The lesson the UK & EU needs to take from this is that we need to rearm and build up our military...

Again, this is platitudes. What do you mean by ‘just do the right thing?’ If you mean NATO should go to war over Ukraine and escalate the conflict further, good getting support for that.

Predictability from the West is what got us here in the first place… 😂 The true villains in this tragedy is the Biden administration, unfortunately.

Your ability to speak in platitudes is unmatched Pete. It’s just not just based in the real world.

You do if your war effort is being propped up by other countries.

Seriously Pete, what is the alternative? There’s a lot of faux outrage on here today but a complete unwillingness to accept the facts on the ground. Something the West, in its complacency, has complete forgot the fundamental truism in international relations: might is right. In the Cold War...

Exactly my point. It just isn’t sustainable and there needs to be an acknowledgement of that reality.

It also displayed why Zelensky is considered a difficult man to work with by multiple world leaders, including the last US president.

That’s the thing, you can disagree with the ways and means of it… what is a viable alternative to the Trump/Vance view of the situation? Does Ukraine have the resources to oust Russia? No. Does the west have the political will to intervene on Ukraine’s behalf to oust Russia? Also, no. There’s...

I respect Zelensky for standing up for himself. Ultimately, if he doesn’t like a deal, he doesn’t have to accept the terms and continue to fight on without US support. The reality is, there is no defined victory conditions, or plan to force the Russians out. The war in its current state relies...

It makes sense, it’s the only policy area where budget cuts are popular.

That was probably the most predictable thing about the Russian method of warfare throughout history.
