As opposed to Russia who are surrounding the Ukraine capital just for the craic, of course.
Agree, says alot about the arseholes behind the keyboard to use that awful slur. It is horrible and it eminated from disgusting human being.
FWIW, I think Biden is an awful choice of president. The better of two bad choices of course.
They want Russia isolated as much from the international community as possible. It's their perogative.
As opposed to laying siege to the capital of another country?
Thats not escalation?
Whats your alternative unconditional surrender to putinazis?
I'd be worried for their safety too, the way Putin has been acting.
Massive explosion a few minutes ago. I'll try get a link. It's not a nuke obviously but it's like what you would think a nuke would look like.
Indeed- some posters here seem to think we can hide behind neutrality in this decision and “we have no skin in the game” so we can act as peace brokers- ha, no skin in the game my arse- we’re in the EU- it’s the 21st century not Develera’s Ireland - being part of a community means stepping up to the mark when it counts the most- it’s a cowardice decision
Massive mistake for the EU to announce sending fighter jets on a day when Russian and Ukrainian delegates have agreed to meet for peace talks.
If Putin has his way we'll all be dead before March 2024!
Did voters in the EU27 realise that they could be committed to entering a war theatre in this manner? Doubt it. So much for protocols and debate.
Russia would be right to be defensive with this set up. And Russia also needs to be shown escape roads from this situation.
And no 'turn with your tail between your legs' is not an answer.
You're talking about that video from Cherkasy? Looks like a large thermobaric weapon to me. Not bright or violent enough to be a nuke.
It’s the Russians attacking another country…and threatening the west.
they could have stayed at home and kept off threatening people and country’s.
only one aggressor and escalating party.
So should we just lie down and let Russia continue on their rampage? And do you think that it will stop with Ukraine? What do you propose? Turn a blind eye? Russia caused this. Russia has backed us into a corner.
If you appease him today because he has an arsenal of WMDs, you are ultimately just kicking the can down the road to another day
We appeased him in 2014 and where did that get us?!?!?
Jaysus, I read that as 'looks like a nuke' for a second
The mayor of Kyiv has said reports that the capital is surrounded by Russian forces are false
More Russian propaganda
Is this is? Ukraine War: Massive Explosion to Cherkasy Region, Ukraine - YouTube
No such thing as 0% chance ,London is the capital of a leading Nato country ,Dublin isn't
Nuclear fallout would effect us no matter what
I think this is it. Terrifying. Arms depot?
P.S. That put the heart across me. If anyone needs me I'll be in the back room rocking back and forth going la la la. Thank you.
It's not just us though, Austria and Malta who also have a similar stance on neutrality are doing the same thing.
Not providing funding for guns and stuff does not mean we aren't providing funding.
Yeah sorry. Just a massive explosion with a mushroom cloud at the end.
Bought from money stolen from Russian people- these assets must be confiscated and held in trust or given to Ukraine. Utterly ridiculous this carry on had been allowed go on
That wasn't my point at all. I was highlight the seeming fact that the Russian military and political system has allowed Putin to become what he is today. Because of fear. So they can sit there with their uniforms and medals but in their hearts they are spineless cowards.
Like general Milley looking at Trump. Although in the end he was willing to rebel.
That was my point.
Surprising decision. I suspect a lot strings being pulled by the US behind the scenes. They don’t want to seem too directly involved but very non EU like decisions are being made.
It was not a mistake. It was announced precisely because of that. West is not interested in Ukraine to become neutral and demilitarized.
Absolutely not. It's more likely to produce a result. If Ukraine was isolated they would not even be invited to talk.
Jaysus, has the look of a nuke tho
If this stands then decent people should unite and boycott FIFA WC sponsors:
We can easily survive eating less fatty food and fizzy drinks.
Absolutely no time for this nonsense. We are a complete fcukin embarrassment- “neutral” me arse- only when it comes to anything remotely difficult
While I'm all for supporting Ukraine and want to see the Russians sent home with their tails between their legs, the EU supplying combat aircraft etc seems like a massive overreach by the EU.
I think everyone would love a russian general to rise up and be a world hero.
Not likely to happen though, unless putin does something really really crazy.
