"This isn't just about the frontline in Ukraine, it's the frontline of Europe and the United Kingdom, it's about our national security. And I think we need to do more, we need to step up," - UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

I'm sorry to the pessimist here, but all I hear is talk. We need action. NOW! I still don't hear: "Ukraine must win. Russia must lose". Nothing has changed.
He's talking to the wider public in Britain, many of whom don't care!
I think he wants to back Ukraine all the way, but he needs to keep the public with him!
You've hit the nail on the head. Churchill did know, he didn't care what other people thought, the majority of parliament were against him all the way up to the early part of the war, he just knew & would not budge. Keir, whilst moving the right direction, doesn't convey that he really understands.
Then do it! Yes, the West should act in unity, but Russia has spent decades fueling internal conflicts and mistrust. They've been at war with us long before Ukraine because they know we'd kick their dick in the dirt—so they fight through cyber attacks and disinformation instead.
Shame he didn't call it out 9 years ago when #putinsToryKipPuppets were ripping us out of the #EU all for putler, could've stopped this then. #putinsBrexshit @eddavey.libdems.org.uk
EU is in play between russia china and usa for global geopolitic dominance. EU needs to double match russia military spending to 800 Billions or more. Provide an iron dome over Ukraine with hundreds of air-defense systems. Eliminate Starlink presence over its skies (geostationary and LEOs)
Yep. If people like us can think of something like that. What are our politicians in EU and US doing? Do they know something we don't about russia that gives them pause or are they just in a job way above their pay grade?
More over invest in EU defense in a organized way, devide stuffs within different countries in an adequate manner will boost the economy because it will not produced outside the union ( I could not imagine the opposite )
No democratic country can 'do more' without the financial capacity, and no electorate is willing to accept a higher tax burden. We will continue to sustain our high living standards until the autocrats take it away. Then we will wonder 'how did that happen?'
STOP MUCKING AROUND, EUROPE.

Putin can't continue the invasion without a veto.
Take the UN back and 143++ authorised states, including NATO, enforce the Charter fast, instead of un-mandated actors exploiting the crisis.
THAT's deterrence. https://www.change.org/UN_Resolution_To_Expel_Russia
Ashamed about our German „Genosse“ O. Scholz who still sits with fear in his pants beside @wolfgangschmidt.bsky.social … @larsklingbeil.bsky.social @spdfraktion.de @spiegel.de @zeit.de #Russia #SPD #SlavaUkraini
With Biden gone & 🇺🇸 going solo, splintering Nato unity, 🇬🇧 has every opportunity to take the lead, a.o. send a few dozens of its 143 fighter jets in active service to protect 🇺🇦 airspace.
If 🇬🇧 goes first, others will follow, but we currently see classic, fragmented, Eur behaviour - endless talk!
In the political circus we have now he is viewed as a very bland, boring, grey man, but I think he is a competent politician!
Anything he wants to do for Ukraine he has to sell to the electorate, and tbh, most don't care a great deal!
Hopefully he steers things the right way, which he is capable of
He's not wrong on some points but, when he said that we need a US backstop, he's in denial of the reality of the situation. The situation is that, without any ambiguity, the US has abandoned democratic Europe & is siding with European fascists. The sooner he, and all of Europe wake up, the better.
I agree, it's like they don't want to accept what is in front of their face... this isn't a surprise that Trump is the Party of Orban, the AfD and even Putin.

Brexit made it difficult for UK to speak up but it is now time and ready to lead the sheep of Europe.
Furtherest of all Europe from Russia, UK is ready to lead it. Join Ukraine in defense of Europe against Putin. Let others to follow.
