  1. The provinces vote Tory. There is no hope.

  2. ​Russia is a colonial empire, Europe's last. They just colonised Asia instead.

  3.  @jackburgess8579  that is a Russian backed insurgency by a minority. Eu support is very high in ukraine. Around 80% or so.

  4. ​ @vizned  the Netherlands is an advanced economy, it makes microchips which you can't. It also exports many medicines to you which you can't produce. However, unlike uour citizens, Dutch citizens are not prepared to be poor to have a large military. They spend 6% of their budget on the military. You spend 30-40%. Therein lies the difference.

  5. ​ @csuporj Holland has the technology and the wealth, but its citizens are not prepared to spend 40% of the govt budget on all things military. They prefer to live well. Russian citizens are prepared to be poor, Europeans are not.

  6. ​ @jonymanay it has. It also stole territory from Finland. It didn't help russia. Finnish citizens have a much better quality of life. Russia is doomed to expand and collapse, as it always has. The only thing that never changes it that it remains poorer than Europe, in spite of periodic territory grabs.

  7. The US has strong institutions, as it showed on January 6th.

  8. History suggests they don't claim responsibility for fun.

  9.  @ohslimgoody  not everyone. I for one appreciate the fact that the US supports democracy in Europe. I know it is also important for America's own security, but still, I find it good.

  10. ​ @СергейГромов-ф9я 5,500 should be enough to clean the ice from your pavements don't you think?

  11.  @kiz11a  it isn't actually true. Russia has neither the economy nor the infrastructure to supply higher troop numbers abroad.

  12. ​ @stumpymctool3718 2% of Russian territory was occupied. Stalingrad was an offensive which pushed from Ukraine, and had to withdraw back to Ukraine. 70% of German forces were in Ukraine.

  13.  @moiseshuerta3984  if it wasn't for lendlease so would thd russians.

  14. Benetton and reebok are still there.

  15.  @surjakantasingh4287 for that you should be very grateful.

  16. Tell that to Poland, Croatia, Czechia, Slovenia, and the Baltic states, and Ukraine.

  17. Still waiting for our money back for the Iraq and Afghanistsn commitments. You didn't think we helped you because we were allies, did you? What a quaint notion. Slava Ukraina.

  18. The long-term outlook is good. Ukraine might lose 10% of its territory to Russia, like Finland did, but it is Finland which is wealthy and free, not Russia.

  19. He relies on Russian energy, and hasn't taken any measures to stop that situation, like other EU countries have done. He's a poor leader. Now Ukraine just stopped it getting to him, and he's desperate for a ceasefire to get the taps turned back on. Panicking due to his own poor judgement.

  20. Most European citizens think freedom is worth dying for. Do you think tyranny is worth dying for?

  21. ​ @robford3211  Rob Ford. Went to school with someone called that. But he wasn't from a russian village with no inside toilets.

  22. Guy's a security risk for Europe. Needs to go.

  23. It's how they explain to themselves how they can't defeat Ukrainf.

  24. ​ @chibakutensei8799 being in NATO spoils his ambitions we know.

  25. The lionesses of the fight for our wonderful Europe.

  26. Napoleon' grand army wasn't mainly defeated by the russian winter, but the typhoid epedemic which killed half of its troops, 250,000, in summer 1812.

  27. From the guy who's scared of germs. Don't think so.

  28. ​ @cwpv2477 he doesn't defend our values

  29. The east of Germany is historically more right wing, Iowa not so much.

  30. And who will pay for your national security, or do you intend to feed Russia with the smaller nations of Europe in the hope, that it won't eat you?

  31. ​ @snoreberry1786 Quote a few European countries spend more of their GDP on defense than the US. Poland, for example, spends 4%.

  32. ​ @bobbysinger4053 which they won't. Little putin is more scared of dying than anyone else.

  33. ​ @valevisa8429 hated MAGA

  34.  @JohnCSmith-lp1qr  they are hardly going all in. There would be 5,000,000 troops and 24,000 aircraft in ukraine if they did that. They are giving just enough to bleed out russia's military.

  35. Why would a Republican be against standing up to tyranny in the world? I remember Reagan and the Bushes of course.

  36.  @First-Last_name  Finland has developed very well since then.

  37. Yes, he did. And he liked the bread.

  38. And European arms manufacturers sell to Russia.

  39. ​ @mgronich948 you don't understand the diplomatic convention called "duty to warn". And you don't want to.

  40. You didn't seem to hear the constitutional expert. You know best.

  41. Please leave the EU. We are giving you billions of euros for nothing. Maybe Russia will hand you put some money instead if you ask them nicely.
    3
  42. You do. At this point in human history, you are by far the largest economy in the free world, which comes with a certain responsibiity, as it did for Britain in the nineteenth century, when we had to pay the most for the Crimean war costs to stop Russian expansionism in Europe (Russia invaded Rumania back then).

  43. And lose access to Norwegian waters, where the fish we like live.

  44. Unreliable.

  45. Sometimes I think the population of Europe is much better than its leaders. People are appalled by what is going on in our small continent, and want decisive support for ukraine. So sick of these weak leaders we have. Always afraid to act.

  46. Hut ab Pres. Steinmeier. Ukraine needs our support.
    3
  47. Non-entity? The only non-entity in Europe is Russia, cast adrift, ostricised, finding new friends like the Iranian supreme leader and North Korea.

  48. And thanks to the Americans too, and a the other countries pulling their weight.

  49. With an economy smaller than Italy's. Dream on.

  50.  @lawrencekling8598  they withdrew because the US public didn't support the war. US citizens are free to protest, and elections are free, do governments have to listen to them.
