  1. Francis, I don't trust Republicans, I worry that they express a more active stance about more weapons to Ukrainians as a form of criticism for the Biden administration. Personally I think the Withe House should be bolder and work for the Ukraine's victory, so more weapons!

  2. I don't get it, the US Congress approved 200 million dollars back in March of 2022 for training Ukrainians to fly F-16s at Ft Sill Oklahoma. Why are they just now acting like they need to train them, by now they should be trained.

  3. I would love to get into an internet fight with somebody from the global south over the environment. Seeing as how climate change impacts the entire world, seeking help from Russia to solve the climate crisis isn't much of a threat. It'll degrade into name calling very fast 😉

  4. Putin has been wagging similar wars since he came to power. The West has supported him(money and technology transfer) until recently. China (Which assists Russia) has been made into the biggest industrial base on earth. Does the West realize that it dug it’s own grave?!(Brazil was neutral and more on the Ukraine side until they got
    The hailed criminal communist shill back in..). There is lots more to say.

  5. Putin and Lukashenka have successfuly eradicated the Belarussian language. The country is already russified over the point of no return. The Europeans should forget about Belarus and build a hughe wall at its borders.

  6. The Swedish Grippen is a better choice of fighter for the current situation. The F-16 which requires a 8000 foot runway not mention air superiority to be highly effective. The Grippen can operate from unimproved roadways and doesn't need nearly as much room to take off. It ALSO takes a rather large ground crew to keep the F-16 in the air. The Grippen can be rearmed/refueled by four guys only two of them have to be highly trained. It can also be shipped quicker then ferrying F-16's from the east coast of the U.S.

  7. Has jo jo informed Europe that he not only demands to supply Europe with Gas by blowing-up Nord stream but now will bomb all European Farms so the USA USA USA has to supply all food to Europe at ten times the original cost?

  8. I'm very surprised the meeting organizers don't arrange to have a very nearby room for the participants to catch a nap during these kinds of negotiations. Sounds like poor planning to me.

  9. Between Brexit, COVID, incompetent and corrupt politicians.
    The UK doesn’t have enough pennies to help itself let alone another nation.

    We need to consider pulling support out of Ukraine.
    We would get obliterated in a hot war with Russia. We need to stop antagonising and maybe look to rebuild connections with the Kremlin.

    Ukraine haven’t been doing enough on the ground since the Kharkiv counter offensive to justify sending more kit anyway.
