You don't get peace by appeasing tyrants. The idea that Ukraine can't defend itself lest we upset Putin is not just dumb it is dangerous. Why should he be allowed to fire foreign made missiles at Ukraine and throw North Korean troops at the front - while Kyiv just sits politely on its hands.

I find this notion that it is the west constantly making escalation steps incredibly bizarre.
(Putin is the goose.)
They should be trusted to attack the Russian military targets only, which they have proven to use the skills to achieve their goals.
I’m assuming you could land the rockets they’re using on a dinner plate so risk of civilian damage low?
P.S. The point with these long range strikes is Ukraine can’t do them without US/NATO assistance.
A de facto declaration of war.
"Johnson sought a “normalisation” of relations with Russia despite its illegal occupation of Crimea and was a vocal advocate for the policy of sending only non-lethal military equipment to Kyiv"

"If we had armed Ukraine faster, Thousands of lives would have been saved. Thousands more children would now be safe with their parents. We must recognise the fact that appeasement did nothing to protect them"
Instead we carried on dealing with Russia as though it was a real country, and not a criminal enterprise with a fossil fuel racket
And he will probably fall out of a window.
Why? Very rich oligarchs in Europe especially London. The UK and France have 500 nukes
Firstly there’s no black hats or white hats in this conflict , I’m not sacrificing me or mine because of this bullshit-everyone should be driving for negotiations not missiles - by your logic we should have been bombed over Northern Ireland- Jaw Jaw is better than War War
He can just stop the madness.
My problem is, why the West appeased Putin for decades while waging war in Georgia, Chechnya, Syria etc. I feel it's a last minute action now.
Diane Abbott and the Magic Grandpa seem to think imperialists are cool if they are Russian.

Hearing @amnestyuk.bsky.social pontificate about this just sickens me. They have lost all credibility, which is so sad.
