Because the UK and France honoured an Alliance Agreement with Poland signed off prior to the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact... it wasn't just the Third Reich who invaded, Soviets and Slovaks were part of it... incidentally the citizens of Gdansk were in favour of the occupation being Germanic in descent. The moral is that eastern European politics are very involved and complex, just like the Balkans and we really do not understand the history and pass our over-simplistic judgment upon hundreds of years of hatred ... in some ways we need to leave them to it

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvgl27x74wpo I see Mr Z is covering his options by suggesting an "Army of Europe" should put boots onto the ground in Ukraine. Point 1:: Does this assume Ukraine is to be a member of the EU? Point 2: Should the UK commit to this Army not being an EU member? Marine Hyde this morning with regard to the second point: "The UK's ego has long been writing cheques its body can't cash"

If you feel so strongly about it why don't you sign up with Zalensky and join the slaughter?

Brag on cocker I actually feel guilty that I can actually get by quite well now I am clocking on 70 Some folk have trusted the state to provide security in old age and they are being let down. What I hate to admit is some mornings I really do feel tired and the winter cold bites more than it used to... but I keep sticking it up everybody and that keeps me going 😉 I am privileged in that I can still enjoy turning the heating on and opening a bottle or two when I feel the need.

But the winter fuel allowance was "not good value for the tax payer" End of

It is becoming increasingly obvious to me that the leaders of Israel, Hamas, Ukraine and Russia all need to continue fighting or their grips on power will be destroyed and they'll all be overthrown and sent to whatever fates their populaces decide which will probably not be very nice.

Owing to my interest in aeroplanes and flying I have been following events since a Russian SAM was fired by Ukrainian separists and brought down a Malaysian airliner, well before the invasion. Also my interest was fired by the fact I had a very pleasant holiday in Kiev and Odessa back in the 70s and have fond memories of playing chess with the old men (i never won)

Yanukovych was pro Russia and came to power in 2010 owing to support in Eastern Ukraine and virtually none in the West. He now lives in exile in Moscow

I really want them to get things done but having doubts. The last lot were too posh to get anything done, they had been raised with nannies and housemasters doing things for them and had no common sense. Reeves had better pull that proverbial hat out of a rabbit soon
