Russia's unjustifiable war of aggression in Ukraine

Snide? Like saying that people who might disagree with your belief that it is necessary to end the war by any means are “rubbing their hands with glee?”

Maybe you might check your own attitudes first.
I deleted that almost immediately and apologiesed to the person.
It was uncalled for and yes I did check my attitude on that occasion.
Perhaps you could do the same.
 
We should be thanking Trump.
He's highlighted Europe's inadequacies to protect its Eastern boarders from an existentialist threat.
Time for Europe to up its game, fund and arm Ukraine, and give it the means to arm itself.
USA is no longer a real ally, we are on our own. Time to act accordingly.
In fairness, most countries next to or near Russia have been pumping money into defence and their military since the invasion. Long before that orange cu*t returned to office. Germany, France and even Spain have also upped their game militarily.

Totally agree with you on Europe arming Ukraine. The European countries that can, need to send as much military hardware as possible. And other countries like ourselves need to contribute to that effort financially. Also, in Ireland, at the very least, we need half decent military technology that can better track hostile forces like Russia that are loitering in or around our territory.

We'll see what happens over the next few weeks. But Pete Hegseth already looks like a clown, by coming out and saying Ukraine can't expect to have all it's territory back in any agreement. You don't say something like that before you start negotiations. The Russians must be laughing their asses off.
But unfortunately, it does look like the Republicans and all the people who voted for maga are about to shame their forefathers, who fought and died to help liberate Europe from tyranny.
 
I have no idea what a peace deal with mean for either country but unless they speak to each other, nothing will happen. If both partys are happy a deal will get signed.
That's all I said.

There is no point in negotiating anything with Russia which is not a "country" in any normal sense. It is a corrupt, criminal enterprise masquerading as a country.

Until 21st February 2022, Putin, Lavrov, Peskov etc. denied they had any intention of invading Ukraine. They denied involvement in the invasion of Ukraine in 2014.
 
Not sure comments by Cretins like Hegseth make any difference.

AFAIK Ua has already accepted that it cannot reclaim territory.

Putin can't sell a deal where Ua joins NATO.


US is no longer a reliable partner for Europe. We have to accept this.

Ua needs a very strong military presence by Poland, UK and France. Then it needs to rebuild its military and strengthen defence lines.

This biggest issue IMO is whether sanctions will be removed.

If so then the free world is rewarding illegal imperialism. This would be a very bad outcome

I expect Europe and NATO to insist on sanctions continuing.

Trump and his clown show would concede anything
 
I love the idea that Europe has the means and the mettle to go it alone in a multipolar world, failing to realize that they have been nothing more than America's subservient amusement park for the best part of a decade. Choking industries in regulation, self-sabotaging their energy security to appease the climate Gods, and importing millions of lifetime dependents from the third world that hates its own culture and will aim to replace it with its own, brick by brick, mosque by mosque. And the most tragic part? You oblivious fools haven’t even noticed that you've already lost.

Paranoia much? ?

Putin is a liar, he denied that the "green men" in the Donbas were Russian Military. And when confronted with evidence to the contrary from captured "green men" he said that they must be tourists that got lost.

You can be an awful fucking eejit, Pep. I mean that in the nicest possible way, of course, but you have some real '18 year old nerd discovers Ayn Rand' vibes about you.
