Wednesday, February 19, 2025

NATO's British-led, rapid-response force is "ready" to be deployed if needed, a senior commander has said, after UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer signaled he was "ready and willing" to put British troops on the ground to enforce a ceasefire in Ukraine.

NATO and the EU are stepping up to help Ukraine while Trumpf golfs and slanders Ukrainian President Zelensky as a "dictator."

"Russia would lose a war with NATO, Poland warn

"It is not we, the West, who should fear a clash with Putin, but the other way around," Foreign Minister Radosaw Sikorski said."

That was last year... Russia is much weaker now.

"February 10, 2025

Now is Europe's moment for decisive action on Ukraine

First, much is at stake. A Russian victory would increase the risk of wider war in Europe, and it would likely embolden authoritarian states elsewhere in the world, including China, Iran, and North Korea. It would profoundly weaken the credibility of NATO and undermine the unity of the transatlantic community."

France and Poland could take Russia by themselves in the condition Russia is in now. And they have nukes, too.

This is great news. It gives me hope for the future.

Let's see how the Russian Air Force competes with the RAF.

Good. It's clear that FDT works for Putin, so we need to see who is an American and who is a traitor.

Pretty much all Repubicans are showing their loyalty to Mother Russia...so we may have to duke this out internally as well.

Like the demented idiot he has always been, Trump is blindly walking all of us into WW3. What do you rightwingers believe will happen when Putin finds himself by NATO/West European soldiers in The Ukraine? Because that is what the PM of the UK is explicitly threatening. It won't just be drones or US made missiles. It will be soldiers. Tens of thousands of soldiers. All there to kill Russian soldiers and expand the bombing to Russian territory.

That's what they thought last time, until a base on US territory was attacked.

Do we still have a base in Greenland?

Anyone that has multiple citizenship, passports and loyalties needs excluded from ever representing national sovereignty and its people as an alleged citizen or official in government.

Countries have historically got sucked into destructive wars because of officials with entangling and multiple alliances and allegiances.

Don't forget to add financial incentives/entanglements to the list.
