UK made missiles launched into Russia today. AIBU to think it would make more sense on a geopolitical level to wait until Trump was in place to determine major changes to UK strategy?

Yep...we have been fed a lot of propaganda about Ukraine...picture this. Scotland goes independent of England, signs a trade deal that excludes England...the same body who Scotland have signed with blocks England dealing with france, Holland, Germany...you get the picture.

Russia is pissed off because the eu moved to remove countries from it's sphere of influence even though it damaged the eu...Romania, Albania and Bulgaria for example....Third world countries.

Now Biden...a man suffering from dementia had allowed Ukraine to use us weapons and now we have...ffs!. Less than 10 years ago the female leader of a Ukrainian political was put in jail. It's not a democratic state...the current leader is a joke candidate to point this out. In 2018 Lee child's Jack reacher book was about Ukrainian gangsters...

I'm not a Putin apologist. I just don't want to have to volunteer at 56 to fight for Britain in a war we could avoid...but if we do get sucked in because I love England right or wrong and I will go.

@Justcallmebebes I can't see Trump continuing to support them.

No, Ukraine need help now and Putin needs to understand we will support Ukraine

This. I really hope Ukraine is not sacrificed on the altar of Russian appeasement next year

The missiles won't be going anywhere near Russian cities, it's purely to defend Ukraine and within international law. Once Trump is in a negotiated settlement will take place. In the meantime, there will be an increase in activity on both sides so both Ukraine and Russia are in the best position possible for negotiations.

No, the best time to act was a year ago. The second best time to act is now.

No. The UK acted on the basis of the situation as it currently stands.

Why? So he can insert himself up Putrid's butt and half Ukraine is handed over to a short arse psychopathic reptile who's living in the far past?

Not a good plan Natasha.
