To think Britain should have nothing to do with this war

LOL
I come from a small ex communist country
Cannot fathom a British born woman to be so blind and uneducated thinking standing on your small island and pretending the world out there does not exist is all there is to stay in peace

And how will giving in to a dictator achieve that, exactly?

I don’t think Putin gives a shiny shite about collateral damage. I’d feel quite envious of your ignorance and naivety if it wasn’t for your other posts.

I wonder what's it's like to view the world so simply, look Putin doesn't give a shit as long as he gets what he wants, the regime will bump anyone off who gets in their way including members of their own family, it's so silly and naive to think pleading with his better nature is going to solve anything, it won't and he won't stop at Ukraine either, Finland will be next in his sights...

Putin and Trump aren't reasonable men. Putin especially, simply cannot be negotiated with. He's a dictator and is insane.

I am by no means an expert (or frankly very interested in history or world affairs), but the Ukraine cannot surrender to Russia. Where would it end? Do you really think Putin would end it once he got what he wanted from them? I'm sure his plan is much larger than just the Ukraine.

Yes, 99% of the world population wants peace, however countries can't just surrender their land and its people to every arsehole who threatens war. If we give Putin what he wants, that sends a message that anyone can take what they like.

Not half as ridiculous as your posts!

But wait, aren’t Eastern European and Polish migrants propping up the benefits payouts economy for the lazy native Brits 🤭 You know, the ones who came over here and stole all the jobs from the chain smoking, big telly, tracksuit wearing, ‘hard’ British workers - the ones who never had a job since they left school and now they’ve got at least 9 children.

Don't forget to kiss your Nigel fag-breath Farage poster before bed

It's important to recognise that since 2008 Ukraine has been working with NATO to obtain formal membership.

Russia warned time and time again of "consequences" to Ukrainian and partners of NATO membership. In 2014 Russia annexed Crimea and since interfered politically to try and change the direction in Ukraine. Unfortunately the calls for Ukrainian demands to join NATO just grew louder escalating the situation.

If you're old enough you may recall how the USA reacted to Russian missiles being placed in Cuba, that episode was the closest this planet got the WW3.

For the sake of our planet and all humanity, Ukraine cannot be a member of NATO. Ukraine accepting this is a required first step to ending this rotten war.

Yes. That worked so well with Hitler

Have you EVER studied any history?

And attacking us via social media to try and destabilise public opinion

Unfortunately Ukraine is on the same continent as we are, so it is our problem. Unless we fancy being permanently in hoc to Russia.

Goodness, most naive comment of the day.

God. You really are sounding worse with every post.

I am genuinely more concerned about young men of a different nationality on my lawn. Sort of more proximate, if you get my drift. And I am happy to pay for it, that is true. But that is enough virtue-signalling for one day.

The situation reminds me of this

Well of course everyone wants peace. Except Putin!! And actually possibly also America as they will make a lot of money from weapons, defense etc.

But you can't have once sided peace can you? What do you plan to do, lie down in front of the tanks as they come rolling in because you want peace? Putin would roll straight over the top of you no questions asked.. none of us, absolutely none of us want our sons and daughters or ourselves to be out fighting a war on the front lines. Because in a war it's the ordinary civilians who suffer. But I don't think we have choice already in this. Putin has chosen the path for us. Unless he decides to climb down and be happy with his lot (spoiler alert not going to happen!). Best we can hope for is Putin is deposed from within and a leader with less hatred for 'the west' gets in and there can be peace for a while.

I don't believe that you're remotely "sorry" for the sentiments in your posts.

Because I don't leech off the money that is supposed to be spent on the unfortunate abroad - like your ilk. That is all. Not necessary (I have witnessed it) to drag all your brood and spent 'government' money on your little ones living with you to 'experience the world'.

Wow how naive can you be? Putin has never cared about collateral damage. There are plenty of 'his own' in Ukraine.

Whether you like it or not OP the world is a global place and issues in one area impact on one another as we've all seen with Ukraine- even if we are hard about it and look at it from a purely commercial angle issues in Ukraine or US or Middle East or China etc impact on everything from cost of living to pension funds . We are not a completely self sufficient country unless we actually do invest more in domestic energy which probably would have to include nuclear and live only on stuff produced here- which is pretty restricting.

The number of people who don’t seem to understand that we’re already involved and why is astounding tbh.

I suppose there must have been similar ignorance in the 1930s when Germany was advancing on the rest of Europe. It was in our interest to get involved then and it is now it seems. It’s just a shame history is repeating itself. I know my grandparents had hoped WW2 was the last one forever.

You're just a troll. One misspelled word doesn't make wrong. I write for a living and I don't give a fuck about your little spelling corrections. The rest of your post I won't even bother with, it's honestly truly pathetic.

I don’t think it’s a very good idea for us to piss off the Americans.

Some of you are asking us to think about history. Ok then. From what I remember the Italians and Germans were the aggressors in WW2, and the French let the Germans walk through to get to us. Then the Americans joined in and were pivotal in saving our arses.

Of course there was more to it than this, however I really don’t believe the Americans would stand by and ever let anyone bomb the UK. I think they’d react to protect us immediately.

The rest of Europe….France, Germany, Spain, Italy…..hmmmmm I wouldn’t hold my breath.

Is the UK self sufficient now? We no longer need to import energy or food?

Because never mind about what is morally right, what happens in other countries is very much our concern - foreign aid isn't actually given out of charity, it's to promote the interests of the UK.
