Ukraine counter offensive
- Thread starter Notch7
- Start date
Russia’s Vladimir Putin has committed to spending a post-Cold War record $157bn fighting Ukraine and securing Russia next year – a 70 percent increase on this year’s defence budget.
But Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskyy has failed to secure $61.4bn from the US and $76.6bn from the European Union, among his staunchest allies, riven by internal disagreements over spending.

If the West allow Putin to win, he will become bolder and it will just cost the West more in the future.
part of Putins strategy is to try and destabilise Europe by displacement of people from Syria and Ukraine
How much more are NATO prepared to spend in combatting Russia's plans for next year: $200bn - $300bn?
Bringing inflation down to pre-covid levels mustbe the top priority.
Historically Russia has never shown any interest in invading the West.
Eastern Europe is different, it is full of religious and ethnic faultlines.
They are always nicking bits of each others territory.
None of Eastern book countries that joined the EU have done so.
EU is a force for peace in Europe.
Conspiracy theory.
Putin is sitting in the kremlin stroking a white cat and laughing at the above post.
The war in Syria and the subsequent displacement of millions civilians, was a consequence of the Blair / Bush invasion of Iraq.
Western interference in the region has caused chaos and misery for millions of innocent people.
That is why so many of these people want to escape into Europe.
Can understand why you laughing..
EU is a force for peace in Europe.
The EU didn't bring peace to Ukraine when they supported the overthrow of its democratically elected leader.
