War in Ukraine

[Stirlingsays]

'The prospect of providing security guarantees to Ukraine is real with the participation of Europe and other countries' - US President Trump.

Trump pulling out of Ukraine fiscally while placing both the cost (fecking insane) and the military responsibility for Ukraine onto Europe is the direction of travel here.

Politicians like Starmer and Macron are liable to get British troops killed over in Ukraine fighting a war that has zero upside for us.

But Starmer would certainly get brownie points with his preferred Davos and Brussels pals.

I cannot adequately express the disdain I have for our mainstream political class, left or right.

It was remarkable how NATO collapsed when confronted with a crisis. Though not unexpected by many.
Now Europe is having to get used to sky high energy prices, and having the USA as its Dictator on Foreign Policy.
With China dominating world trade, small countries (like the UK) are at the bottom of the pecking order with regard to everything.
