20% only and none of their objectives achieved. Ukraine is way too big for their army.

Trump has exaggerated the figures and Ukraine arming represent a very small percentage of the Pentagon spending. USA big g riddles are Russia China and Hard Islam.

Defending democracy against Russia is what the defence was designed for. They gave been spending billions for 80 years fearing the Russian tanks .

When they started rolling USA is saying we are out. It is cowardice. What have they been doing for 80 years?

Russians are so stupid. They loss 1000s of troops invading farmland not once but twice. Bahkmut took them a year and Avdiivka another year now Proprosk. Two towns turned to dust. and a third under the sights of Russian cannons. No one liberated they have all left.

Putin left $ 300 billion in Belgium. Europe do not really want to use this money but if Trump pulls out they will. Oops what an horrendous error by the big man $ 300 billion good grief. $ 60 billion for 5 years or $ 30 bill for 10 years. They can vaporise a lot of Russians with that sort of money.

Hard to see how Putin has any fanboys at all but he does.He smiles at his poisoning exploits which a seems particularly cowardly. Some poisoning was within 2 hours of Swansea killing a British citizen.

Trump was "disrespected" by another president who warned him not to trust the great poisoner who does not honour his agreements. This is the man that wants to make Canada the 51 at state and annex parts of Denmark not ruling out force. People need to stop taking him as a joke.

Falklands were and are sovereign British land occupied by British Commonwealth citizens. Russian invaded Ukrainian land occupied by Ukrainian citizens and Ukrainian passport holders. Quite different scenarios. Kosovo nay be a better comparison..

Some were seduced by Russian agitation by the likes of KGM man Strelkov who is currently in jail for criticism of Putin. He has admitted stirring up the locals for Russia . There was an organised rebellion and sadly this inevitably leads to violence as the central Government attempted to put down the rebellion.

The best place for ethnic Russians to live in is Russia. Putin says Russians and Ukrainians are the same so separation was not required. UK voted for Brexit and Scotland was strongly against. They did not turn to violence.

The 2014 change in government arose out of the President reneging on his own manifesto to move to join the EU. This was blocked by Putin and Ukrainians were furious and the president ran away to Moscow. Ukraine will be in the EU eventually as will Belarus. It is what the young people want in my opinion. They are dealing with Russia so there is no voluntary break up as seen in 1992.

Do you realise Ukraine has recovered 70,000 sq Km from Russia since the 2022 Istanbul talks.? This is an area of the size of Scotland. If they accepted peace then Kherson and Izyum would still be Russian.

In Kharkov Russians are invading areas for the second time and losing 100s of troops every day. They have taken some of that back but lost some of their own land too near Suzdja.

Ukraine getting independence was never going to be easy with the bully Russia as their neighbour and a a Russified fifth column among their population in the Donbass.

The trouble kicked off when Ukraine voted to join the EU not NATO in 2014. The Nationalist pro Russians and Putin objected to the vote and Donbass people allowed themselves to be agitated by far right ex KGB people. They thought Russia would help them. ( In 2016 two years later Scotland were upset about Brexit but accepted the result to keep the peace).

The Donbass males who backed Russia are largely dead or injured as they were sent to the front. Many of their leaders a have been executed either by Ukrainians or Russian mafiosi.

Mariupol, Bahkmut Avdiivka were cleansed if all and replaced buy grateful Siberians loyal to the hammer and suckle.

Ukraine like an unhappy wife made the final break and has got beaten up as a leaving present but the hubby got a knife in the back for his violent trouble.

Russia cannot take Ukraine without US help.

They can stop Russia easily with propper budget kit and training. The Russian milliary is pathetic and while improving a little cannot take Ukraine.

Scott Ritter said when they took Bahkmut Donbass would fall rapidly. In two years they have progressed about the distance of Swansea to Neath. Imagine that?

They lose 50,000 men to take the equivalent of Skewen. This is with an underfunded Ukrainian milliary opposing them. This is unsustainable economically and politically.

If Russia put a big ship there Ukraine can sink it at will. The Kerch bridge is more difficult it seems. I have to admit the Russians seem to have it protected.

Crimea is dependent on good will of President Zelenski and Bogdanov. This is the same problem UK had with Hong Kong. They could have kept it but the geography was in China favour. To keep Crimea Russia needs to crush Ukraine.

Finland has joined but are not Slavic peoples. They are now very close. Putin is more concerned about the EU. That is why it kicked off in 2014. EU talks not NATO.

He want to see Slavic peoples under his control and serfdom. He does not care about Finns. He wanted the whole of Ukraine but will settle for 20% with US help perhaps? His army has been smashed.

Getting the Russians out of Donetsk was always a big ask. All Ukraine's energy should be on the Crimea which is vulnerable. Russia had the harbour but Ukraine can take out ships anytime they like. It is effectively no use to Russia.

It was a rubbish plan for Ukraine and UK. It was a great deal for USA and Russia. If USA puts it's big mining companies in Ukraine why should the British Army protect them from Russia with no US back up? . He w volunteered UK troops without asking them first.

The British army should defending British mining firms or Joint French / UK with the French army .

He wanted the land and the children to Russify. He wanted the minerals and to cut off Ukraine from the sea and dominate them under FSB control where the population minds it's own business. This is normal for them.

They have their supporters in the UK and USA.

It never was and possibly never will be. Putin's wants to destroy and occupy a foreign land and Russify its children and used that NATO issue as an excuse.

Trump want UK and France to protect US mining firms. That will not work. As with any crisis people want OTHER people to do something

The US army has been in Europe for 80 year training and testing and ready at any moment to act. 1944 to 2025 more or less.

In 2025 after 80 years of training they decide it is a good time to withdraw just after Russian tanks have warmed up. Worse than that the Ukrainians have at least halved the Russian threat for them for which they get no thanks.

It is cowardice writ large. The guy taunting Zelenski about I his suit was Brian Glenn, Marjorie Taylor Green' s boyfriend. They all carry guns but are afraid to use them against real threats.

The money is given to Afghanistan. Afghanistan is no friend of their neighbours Iran. It is a complex subject.

A mass starvation of Afghans is no use to anybody. Biden came to some sort of deal. Keep Al Qaiada and the like under control and we will help you out a little. It is leverage to try and limit heroin production would think. Heroin and the Taliban is something I will have to read up on.

The Taliban is the leadership of Afghanistan and carries at least some consent from the people.

A brief look on google.

"The Taliban have instituted a ban on narcotics in Afghanistan. While that has led to a massive drop in production, it is hitting the rural poor particularly hard. Foreign donors should work with the government to ensure the policy does not further undermine vulnerable populations."

They were average owners. Had they not come in under Welsh owners the club would have been relegated under Jenkins and fallen down the leagues as the " sellers" did not have the cash or any inclination to Invest.

The club is not creaking under huge debts and is ready to compete. The academy has not produced the players Potter benefited from. The club has hopefully ditched the static passing game that was boring and dull.
