I doubt any country on mainland Europe has given this a thought.

Not sure whether the like button is right. I will cheer every victory for Ukraine but it's possible the soldiers don't really have a lot of choice.

The endless Nazi comparisons are tedious and ignorant. It’s like the whole of human history boils down to Germany 1933-45.

Think it’s the fact that this is we the last major global conflict crisis which started in a similar way hitler did not think the west would declare war same as putin.

It seems the west has no stomach for a fight. This has been inevitable for weeks and everyone's been pissing about. What a sad state of affairs
What response would you want to see from "the west"? We aren't going to start bombing Moscow over this.

Relative freedom and capitalism make wars difficult. There is a lot of war weariness and the freedom of the press make propaganda difficult.It seems the west has no stomach for a fight. This has been inevitable for weeks and everyone's been pissing about. What a sad state of affairs
The west will react only when it is backed into a corner. A simultaneous war with the us, UK, France, Germany et Al will see Russia beat and Vlad knows it. Hence his threat earlier.
He will find Ukraine tougher than he thinks after the initial bombing.
My concern is what he will do if he looks weak and the whole world realises it
I haven't read other forums like but can't believe anyone would support this, so probably better I don't. It's scary. I imagine the initial invasion and surrender of Ukraine will be over in days, but how long conflict will continue in general? Who knows. That is a part of the world k own for their bravery, toughness and ability to fight guerilla campaigns. Its going to be very brutal in the long run.

If we get our troops involved it's a path to ww3 and nuclear conflict.It seems the west has no stomach for a fight. This has been inevitable for weeks and everyone's been pissing about. What a sad state of affairs
That cannot happen.

What sort of "diplomatic solution" do they think is possible?
West: "OK, Putin. We don't want war so you can have Ukraine in the interests of peace"
Putin: "Thanks. Onwards to Poland!"

Sadly (or thankfully) , Ukraine isn’t where we draw a line in the sand militarily. We have a chance to squeeze the life out of his regime by punishing the Russian people through economic sanctions. I believe it is time to rescind all visas for Russian nationals and send them back to Russia. Russia has to become an international pariah until its government can behave. That or a lot of expensive weaponry will be used and countless people will die.It seems the west has no stomach for a fight. This has been inevitable for weeks and everyone's been pissing about.

For the latter part is the reason the other super
Powers are watching if Putin doesn’t sweep Ukraine and take power in record time
USA China will be watching.

The far right lads are an odd bunch. There's one openly supporting Putin on here, there's another somehow correlating thinking Liz Truss is useless with supporting Putin and another laughing at the prospect of war.

There’s also a few left on my Facebook supporting putin it’s not down to what side of the fence your on here it’s about how you are as a person.The far right lads are an odd bunch.

I’ve seen war I’ve looked into the eyes or children who have lost their parents. No one should want this or take sides i feel sick and watching and listening to it all.
Had to check who you were talking about, thought you were referring to safcoldie
