  1. We aren't expecting them to pay?

  2.  @tomjones7184  It not a debate, we are giving them kit.

  3.  @gomiladroogies5951  I'd fight for my country if invaded with foreign support or otherwise. We aren't causing the war we are allowing Ukraine to win. And as I said we are giving the kit (along with none military aid).

  4.  @Jib230181  It depends what you want your military to do. Ours isn't set up to defend our country, being an island surrounded by allies we aren't threated. It is for expeditionary warfare and that is optional. Politicians just have to remember if they don't spend they can't expect to be able to do as much.

  5. Ukraine isn't a big oil and gas country.

  6.  @tanner1111  Much is the kit is the same between Iraq and Russia, the difference is that Quran comes with more will to fight.

  7. It's pretty clear it has already changed the outcome. Negotiations would be great but what is agreed is based on the situation on the ground.

  8. The US is big and rich it isn't surprising it would be more than everyone else combined.

  9. There are quiet a few Russians writing stories.

  10. Our lack of ammunition is less a comment on what we've given away and more one on a couple of decades of underfunding and and not focusing on peer warfare.

  11.  @danielkrcmar5395  How are you dumbfounded, it's common place to help without a treaty. And there is a clear aggressor in Russia.

  12. France and Germany are supplying Ukraine weapons, don't make stupid comments.

  13.  @ExiledGypsy  Your calling not helping enough collaboration with the otherside. That is utterly dumb. Even not doing anything wouldn't be collaboration but they are helping as you describe. But as to why they dont give more the obvious answer you've blanked is because it isn't free and there militaries have limited supplies to begin with. How much of your own wealth do you give away to help other people?

  14. Your talking like a single year of less than a 10% of NATO spending is actually a lot (not that that's actually been sent from what I've seen).

  15. Ukraine exists and there is no sign it won't continue to do so.

  16. Lost in what sense? I'm sure they are considering all the people and infrastructure they have lost. But they haven't lost the war and they are fighting for there country, that isn't pointless. Russia however are just getting people on both sides killed.

  17. They were shouting all over the place 6 months ago that an attack was coming?

  18.  @matthewwalker8165  so how can you say they couldn't tell anyone?

  19.  @matthewwalker8165  it wasn't just a military briefing situation, it was a massive publicity operation, there was no attempt to hide it.
