  1. From Czechia, with memory of Munich 1938, immensely grateful for the one word "SO-CALLED peace talks" from Brits. My country is meeting the 2% threshold and has sent 1.6 million artillery shells. Very good to hear from all the countries. It means we (or Ukraine) aren't alone this time.

  2.  @crckr2010  I dare to disagree with that. There's quite a lot of leaders who have some basic moral compass and patriotism. They're far from being a parade of heroes, but I wouldn't sell half of them short, either. The Romanian leadership, the Danish leadership, the Finnish and Swedish one, the Czech one, all the Baltic leaders (except for the Lithuanian PM who is a jacka**)... even Starmer has a bit of a spine in this matter.

  3. We are! There are millions of us contributing small amounts of money every month, witnessed by the fact that Ukraine is still alive and kicking. I support an ambulance driver who drives to Ukraine every month in his spare time and brings dried food, bandages, hospital equipment and the like.

  4. Likewise, but we need to act. Their objective is to boil our blood, so that we don't act.

  5. Russia might re-arm in a couple of years, and judging by the way the Chinese minister was talking in interviews in Munich I'm almost sure China IS coming to Europe. Not militarily, but strengthening their influence like promoting heavy centralization, irresponsible use of their AI, opportunities to study in China (i.e. being brainwashed) etc. Agreed on everything else, though.

  6. What's important to emphasize is that it would mean problems for the rest of Europe, too. Spies, border problems, perhaps even sabotages, worse economy, because fewer close reliable trade partners.

  7.  @kraitshakti  They're weak in terms of economy and Pu*in not wanting to mobilize too suddenly. They're not weak in terms of human resources and foreign partners. Training soldiers and buying/making military stuff takes time. That means, if they're allowed time and help from outside, they might gather a significant well-trained army later. Also, Ukraine is VAST. Most NATO countries are smaller.
