this is a conflict of no relevance or global significance and we should have left it well alone.
t’s only you and a couple of others cheerleading more pointless death and destruction.
This you? (literally 5 mins ago)
Amazing.
It will carry on until politicians feel Russia won’t be able to rebuild within a few years and do it all somewhere else in a few years.Er yes it is me. The point being all the West has done is prop up and cheerleader Ukraine into letting it’s people die.
With no actual military aid and support this would have ended a long time ago.
Oddly you can’t reverse what has happened
We are now where we are but there is growing realism this has to at some cease and it will never cease until Ukraine are forced to concede territory - this is inevitable now.
Seems to be what Putin is attempting.Oddly you can’t reverse what has happened

The cost to Russia has to be great enough they won’t be able to try this again
Yeah it’s what, the third time in 10 years they’ve taken a bit of the republic back by force? Nothing to see here.They won’t try it again. Ukraine has always been a target for Russia - the notion they are going to return to the old Soviet Republic is for the birds.

Of course this is what was said about the regions they are steamrolling through now but this time it’s definitely true. Probably.Correct there is nothing to see. The notion it’s going to steamroll through the former states of Poland , Czech Republic etc is beyond ridiculous.
They were never part if the USSR. It would be places like Georgia and the Baltic states.Correct there is nothing to see. The notion it’s going to steamroll through the former states of Poland , Czech Republic etc is beyond ridiculous.
Of course it's of global significance!!You live in a land of self delusion - this is a conflict of no relevance or global significance and we should have left it well alone.
Let’s assume you’re right though. How would you explain to a Ukrainian that they should simply sit this out and see what life is like under Russian rule?
Ukraine's government is corrupt so it's only right they are replaced by an even more corrupt government. Or something.
Of course it's of global significance!!
Breadbasket status don't know the details of rest of it but something about British interests in agriculture?Why?
In the last Polls about 59% of US public support aid to Ukraine, only 30% outright oppose it. Even in the senate’s only about half of republicans oppose funding Ukraine in any shape, way or form and that’s the MAGA contingent whose only purpose seems to be to oppose everything. I don’t know what the notion that the US doesn’t support Ukraine comes from but it’s not based in reality.
So you think it should be taken over then? Who by - the US?
Any idea how much of the world's food comes from Ukraine? Food security is pretty globally significant.Why?
Breadbasket status don't know the details of rest of it but something about British interests in agriculture?
Do you have a link to that?
It’s almost as if Putins motivation is nothing to with Nazis and everything to do with mineral wealth.Its even more important than that. Really interesting article from Matthew syed in the Sunday times which I meant to attach earlier in the week
Here’s a snippet
‘Let’s circle back to Ukraine. Did you know that it has been described by Jonathan Maxwell in his superb book The Edge as a “mineral superpower”? Did you know it has the second-largest gas reserves in Europe after Norway? Or that the Donbas boasts one of the largest coal deposits in the world? And that Ukraine has stocks of 117 of the 120 most widely used metals and minerals, including manganese, sulphur, graphite, titanium and nickel? Did you know that one think tank has estimated the mineral wealth now under Russian control in Ukraine at $12.4 trillion, which is nearly four times the UK’s GDP (albeit the former is a stock, the latter a flow).’

Poll finds strong support for arming Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan
A Reagan Institute poll found high public support for arming friendly U.S. countries and high military spending as Congress negotiates a giant aid package.www.defensenews.com
This is the real kicker. Handing Putin large chunks of the energy and food supply chain is madness. Unless you’re tankie Grendel who believes every word of a Putin interview of course.
Who runs the Ukrainian government is up to the Ukrainian people.
It is not for Vladimir Putin to decide.
Lol so naive and forgetting one democratically elected leader was overthrown by a coup
And you are aware why he was overthrown, right?
Also the notion that the good old USA will not impose its continued influence in their domestic government and its financial and fiscal rules for decades to come is for the birds
Have to admit I never saw you as a supporter of Daniel Ortega until now!Also the notion that the good old USA will not impose its continued influence in their domestic government and its financial and fiscal rules for decades to come is for the birds
On a different manifesto to the one he actually tried to implement. We’re not talking Lib Dem’s not delivering free university here. He done a complete 180, he ran on a manifesto of signing an already agreed trade deal with the EU which the vast vast majority of Ukrainians backed and instead signed a trade deal with Russia. They also held fresh elections straight after. He acted like a dictator and Ukraine wholesale rejected that.You are aware he was democratically elected, right?
You are aware of US interference in that process to encourage anti Russian sentiment in the area, right?
So what do you think is better for the Ukrainian people, which do you think they'd choose:
Be influenced by the US
or
Cease to exist as a country and live under Russian rule
Hmmm. Tricky one isn't it.
Fucking idiot.
Interesting quote from your article:Ukraine-Russia war live: Moscow laying groundwork for Moldova invasion, warn experts
The Kremlin is using “very similar” rhetoric towards Moldova as it did before its invasion of Ukraine, the Institute for the Study of War reported.www.telegraph.co.uk
