Russia-Ukraine War (continuing)

He's only speaking the truth, if Russia is allowed to continue.

Also, is this one of your 'neutral' sources ? The account is a complete crackpot.

Continue what ?

Are there any circumstances, such as a Russian invasion of an EU state, where you would accept declaring war on Russia, or that other EU states should?

Even Putin hasnt declared war. He declared a "Special Military Operation". Declarations of war are becoming a thing of the past.

We would not have managed to get an Irish Republic if people had listened to the "peace at any price" people. 25% voted for the Home Rulers in 1918 and many of them were the more comfortable big farmers or middle class professionals who benefitted from British rule to some extent and were more risk averse about changing a system they benefitted from. But if people didnt take those risks we wouldnt have had the Republic we now have/

And few gave the Irish any chance of success in that war but here we are.

Those who are not prepared to fight for anything will in the end lose everything to the first aggressor.

Reading the plan it’s clear Trump has done a deal with Putin to split up Ukraine between Russia and America making both countries money from Ukraines natural materials and nuclear production. Ukraine has no option but fight on or they’ll be impoverished and ruled by Russia. Europe need to make a stand here.

It's a really good speech and strikes a defiant note. It's also a clear appeal to Europe to step up its support. Let's see how it evolves

What about shooting down the Russian surveillance drones flying over sensitive sites in Germany and Denmark?

Its genuinely hard to know where this is going.

The actual fact this so called peace deal was being glued together "IN SECRET" behind Ukraines and the EUs back speaks volumes.

The fact that the orange buffoon is now telling Zelensky to accept the unacceptable sounds like he wants Zelensky to reject it so he can have an excuse to walk away from it all and allow his buddy in the Kremlin try and get what he wants.

I can see Tramp, I mean Trump, cutting off intel if Ukraine reject this ludicrous proposal.

If intel is cut, how badly will it affect Ukraine, can it still carry on fighting but with more casualties…can the EU fill that gap ?

They also say the US may cut off weapons supplies….would the orange buffoon sacrifice the billion of dollars hes currently getting from the EU for US weapons ? Is he really that compromised ?

If Ukraine chooses to fight on with the EU backing, how will this play out ? Will there be a more aggressive stance from the EU now that they dont have to keep kissing donnies ass to try keep him onside, hes shown his true colours and where his allegiances lie - cut the US off …would this work ?

If Ukraine continue to fight, can they fight long enough to destroy russias economy and force it to stop fighting due to economic reasons ?

Should Ukraine continue fighting in the hope that a more "Normal" and not so "intellectually disabled" president wins the next US election and see if they can cut away the festering boil that is russia once and for all times ?

Im sure we'll see the last gasps of EU \ UK - US diplomacy and ass kissing playout over the next week or 2, in the hope TACO strikes again, but , and I so hope Im wrong, I think this is the culmination of what has been planned by Donnie and his buddy in the Kremlin from day one - I think Donnie is hammering his colours to the mast and the EU \ world needs to take heed.

I think its time for the EU to say once and for all, we have to go this alone, and I hope they do their utmost to make the US pay in one way or another for the shameful, lying and wholesale disgusting entity it has become.

HHow Can the EU continue to support Ukraine in the defence of their country, when Hungary can veto any decision they make and also the EU have no military structure.

I think you're getting way off track. How does a European fighter jet flying around Ukraine defend itself from Russian missiles launched from within Russia? Are they expected to not defend themselves?

A no fly zone needs air supremacy, you can't very well have that when Russian fighters are launching missiles from within Russia.

Maybe the European fighter jets would have their transponders turned on so the Russians won't target them? Or maybe the European fighters don't engage targets until fired upon? That could work, you'd loose a fighter jet but the pilot should be safe.

It's very easy calling for a no fly zone but most experts say it's unachievable without a direct attack on Russia or your fighters be just sitting ducks.

It’s up to NATO now, they need to protect Europe from Russia. It’s not just Russia sending armies, they’ve attacked a nato railway line in Poland as well as cyber attacks. They have been in our waters looking at the underwater cables as well as planes overflying Eastern Europe.

Putin only respects strong responses, Europe needs to make a strong action in favour of Ukraine and see how Putin replies. Wouldn’t worry too much about losing US intel as the likes of Tulsi Gabarrd is completely a Russia asset

Zelenskyy is here in Ireland next week.

Starmer, Macron, Merz, Tusk and Meloni should all be invited here for an impromptu summit, not only to back Ukraine, but to demonstrate it to the world.

I can't imagine any circumstance under which Zelensky signs it. Ukraine had absolutely zero involvement in its drawing up, not a single word.
