Im not sure how scuppering peace talks in a conflict that’s killing thousands and raising fuel and food prices globally achieves those aims.

So why not add Ukraine to that? To be clear, you’re saying if a peace agreement is reached that involves the west giving security guarantees to Ukraine you’d say no and scupper those peace talks?

Then I think this war will carry on a lot longer and won’t be the last because we’ll have shown Putin his tactics work and the rest of the world is either too scared or too indifferent to do anything about it.

Solid argument bro.

We should’ve gone into Syria as well, that was a disgrace, what we did in Palestine was a disgrace too, Iraq was mostly us starting it wasn’t it? And again: Indont think it would be us, as I said I don’t think we count as a major military power any more, it would be the US. But the idea that we...

You don’t sign up for conscription that’s kinda the point. If we were in a WW2 style situation then yes I would, my skill set as I’ve said before would likely be in cyber or comms, but yes if it came to me picking up a rifle and doing basic training I would because frankly if we’re down to the...

Was going to post this myself. Absolutely disgraceful, I hope she sues them into oblivion.

So would you ever accept using them outside of a direct invasion on British soil?

For the third time: if the military thought I’d be of use then yes. If the best way I could support was using my skills directly instead of paying taxes for equipment and training for others then yes. I seriously doubt that’s the case though so you’re being a bit ridiculous (surprise surprise)

Thats literally your position no? “not a drop of British blood spilled”, you’re happy for other people to die by the millions if necessary as long as not one British person comes to harm?

So we should just wind down the armed forces then? To be clear, I don’t think there would be a war if Ukraine had security assurances from the major military powers in the west. I’m also not sure we count as a major military power these days. I get you’ve got personal reasons post Afghanistan...

As long as they’re not British lives, eh?

Theyre taking cities in the south and east, their likely end game is to solidify those gains and call it a day. I doubt they want to occupy the entire country, just batter it enough so that the Ukrainians will accept the losses to stop the war.

Russia are winning the war. Progress is slow but it’s progress none the less.

Looks like the rain will stop in the next couple of hours looking at my weather app…

Well the one in Ukraine doesn’t for a start. And we’ve not got to the actual point of any western leader agreeing or disagreeing with the proposals in the peace talks yet.

I don’t think the Chinese want a world war and the others would follow their lead. I’m not sure how this is like Iraq or Afghanistan, one was a regime change operation this is a democratic European nation asking for support. I think Putin knows damn well he last five minutes against a nation...

I have a bit more faith in our armed forces than you. I also have a bit more faith in Putins self preservation mechanisms. Do you really think he’d be doing what he is right now if the US was ready to step in?

As I’ve said before I’m not sure how much use I’d be, but sure if conscription happened. I’m not sure why you think conscription would be necessary though.

Id like a sovereign nation to make their own decisions and not be left at the whims of a dictator. What’s being reported here seems reasonable though not sure how the Russians would agree to it. We’ve established you’re a coward who would leave the Ukrainians to their deaths I’m not sure what...
