That's 100% the right thing to do, and in reality the only thing they can do. Let's get those borders beefed up, and make it very, very visible, so he knows NATO isn't going to fuck about if he attempts to roll into one of it's member states. Ultimately, it's sad for the Ukraine, because all the West is going to do is apply sanctions, I don't see a time at all when NATO will set foot into a non-member state to directly square up to Russia Quote

Even Tusk calling the Germans out. They still need the gas, that's the problem, they're far too reliant on Russia. Quote

It was a typically mature comment. As it happens, I'm sure we'll see them arriving by plane, or possibly train. Wallace and Johnson confirmed we'll take refugees as has Europe as a whole. Perhaps such comments would be better replaced by donations. Quote

A clinical psychologist who has studied Putin revealed some rather disturbing observations. In his biography, there is apparently a ten year gap in his child hood. (I also heard separately yesterday that he was secretly christened and still wears a cross). Genuine question, why is that an issue? Russia is orthodox Christian why would it be secret ? and cause issues now ? Communism attitude to religion or something? genuinely don’t know , not arguing the point it wouldn’t be just wondering Quote

Germany has postponed a gas pipe. That'll teach em. I honestly think we'll regret not doing more. Hope I'm wrong. I think Cheese is an aeronautical engineer - angles are their stock in trade. How could someone be an anglophobe in that job, it'd be like a vegan slaughterman. Quote

It's an absolute privilege. All I did was try hard at school. To suggest I'm an "Anglophobe" is so far beyond ridiculous, Salvador Dali would consider it too surreal.
