Ukraine counter offensive

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.

Dictators can keep their citizens in abject poverty and send hundreds of thousands to their deaths,because they can’t be voted out.



If the West allow Putin to win, he will become bolder and it will just cost the West more in the future.
 
I bet you'll grumble when millions of Ukrainian refugees are looking for shelter

But that's what you want

Followed by Poles, Hungarians and Bulgarians fleeing the Russian invader
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.

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.
 
German tanks are fighting russians again. If that isn't a threat, what is?

Nonsense the German tanks were just passing through on there way else where

All a misunderstanding

The Russians attacked tanks that were just passing through (y) :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:
 
Can understand why you laughing.
The EU didn't bring peace to Ukraine when they supported the overthrow of its democratically elected leader.

There is an element of truth / fact in what you say

David Owen was speaking on this subject a good while back

How ever we are we’re we are and if the west ignore poo tins aggression as they did in the crimea and Syria this Ukraine caper will escalate into some thing much much bigger !!!!
 
Conspiracy theory
no

its supported by evidence

Russia organises flights from the Middle East to Moscow, giving migrants access to the Belarusian and then EU borders, ministers from the Baltic region said during a hearing with MEPs on Monday (4 September).

Is that you, Mr Chamberlain?
