Bottling / slippery shouldering / making a mess of yet another crisis.

Now this

People should be asking what is the f***ing point in them?

Self serving pigs in a trough. Run and divert responsibility in a crisis.

At least check your facts

Looking on FlightRadar it seems the Americans continue to provide air support in the Nato states close by and we are providing ground force in nato states (Estonia, and soon to be Poland and Lithuania)

He can and probably should. He can be a rallying point for those who believe in a free and independent Ukraine, and to be a constant thorn in Putins side. However it appears he has massive balls and is going to stay put. Fair play.

Until he sneaks away under cover of darkness - plenty others have done it.

Bravely send the boys to their deaths then run away

I know it's only chess, but everyone should follow suit. Pull all sports out of Russia and get their teams out of competitions. Make the public question what's happening and why.

And get Mazepin and his father's money out of F1 because he's a waste of a seat.

This. Make them a pariah state in every aspect of life

I agree but as he puts it, if U.K. decides to do anything it is also put the whole of Europe and US into a world war.

I 100% agree with the sentiment of standing up for what we believe in and the freedom of the people of Ukraine but we have to also acknowledge it is a extremely difficult decision to make, which if invoked could result in killing millions of people. And who knows what the knock on effect would be with the likes of the Chinese, North Korea etc..

Anyone who is suggesting we send western troops into Ukraine must be wishing for the end of humanity

Indeed but I think the West will send troops to defend Europe’s eastern frontier, the eastern borders of Poland, Romania and the Baltic states, Even just a statement of defensive defiance.

Once it's in full control easier said than done.As for Germany and Italy they could well end up backing the measures suggested on swift,it's only day two ATM.Hungary with it's "popular" leader will follow the Trump/Farage line.
