Ok let’s go full on in then. But before we do lets make sure that Ukraine call up fighting age males. Currently the average age of their front line is 45, they’ve got blokes in their 50s on the front line whilst they have lads in their 20s pissing up clubbing every weekend. Get a proper front line together instead of middle aged men digging in. Let’s get these fuckers wanting to fight for their country. In 1939 over a million men signed up for us.  When Ukraine got invaded 700k ran off to Europe.

People comparing us to them is embarrassing 

I agree with you there! 

I think the failure to persuade Ukraine to conscript younger people has to be seen aa a reasonable criticism of Zelensky. And something I've always been surprised about given how hard, talented and resourceful the ones who have been fighting have proven themsleves to be.

We (the west) refused to supply them with the equipment they needed to drive the Russians out so a land settlement was always going to be the result of a negotiated peace. The Ruskies would never withdraw without force. I fear it’s now a case of how much land and at what cost.

I'm not so sure. I actually think the current US administration will galvanise Europe.

Ukraine shouldn't give an inch of land away to an aggressor.

Well it would have save many lives and billions of dollars for what’s looking like the same outcome. 

Ok 

There it is 

The way to avoid war 

Let an aggressor take what they want if they tell you they'll go to war if you don't 

It's almost like Putin saying 

Hey Ukraine, I've got a peace deal for you

Give me land or I'm invading 

Ok, please don't, have the Donbas, just promise not to ask for any more 

I won't 

 

Hey, Latvia, I've got a peace deal for you 

Erm, no thanks 

Look it's going to save you and Europe loads of money if you just hand over Riga to me

Well when you put it like that 

 

Great 

 

Right, this is easier than I thought, let's go back to Ukraine for some more

None of them involve Trump getting anything out of it so none of them are realistic 

If we forget trump hasn't got back into power, preferably option 1, more likely option 2 and if Ukraine decide to surrender of their own free will, option 3

But if Trump is a puppet to Putin which is what's suggested on here it doesn't really matter what he does or thinks ... it won't be backed by the rest of Europe and Ukraine right?

Or we can just let them have the land they have already claimed whilst carrying on fighting costing money and lives. What makes more sense to you. Billions of pounds and 1000s of deaths or an agreement for the same outcome?

For a load of blokes in their 50's, they've done a pretty good job of holding the Russians at bay for 3 years, when they were expecting to waltz into Kyiv within a week.

With the best equipment money can buy I wouldn’t expect anything less. Especially against a rag tag army.

Fight back 

Every time 

Putin is responsible for the deaths and money spent on both sides

He shouldn't be able then end it on his terms, and end up better off for it

Rangers fans? You've lost me

Don’t worry, may be that you don’t bother with scotch football.

But imagine the fuss if the Republican of Ireland invaded the north and trump said it was best all round if they kept it.

just imagine.

It's been working 

OAPs v Russian Rag Tags

Pushed them back from Kiev back to the east

Keep going

If Putin thought he could win he wouldn't be looking for a "peace deal"

And if we flip this round 

Why has Putin not entertained a peace deal in the last 3 years 

Considering you told us they keep on advancing

You could easily direct Royal's peculiar hysterical laughter at the Russian front line.

Dragging in North Korean prisoners at one point.

What's with the constant whatboutery... doesn't excuse letting Putin have what he wants.

Do you honestly believe it's wise to give him what he wants? 

You can tell me in the morning 🙂
