I worry this is far too late in the day, but at least its done now.

Is this a response to the knowledge that Trump will soon be making the decision? Is that too simplistic an opinion? Or just wrong?!?

The question now is whether the UK will follow suit, and allow our long range Storm Shadow missiles to also be aimed into Russia.

You’d have thought it’s just a matter of time.

It’s also worth bearing in mind what Putin himself said about this precise policy in September:

It will mean nothing less than the direct involvement of NATO countries […] in the war in Ukraine […] and this, of course, will significantly change the very nature of the conflict.”
