@SunshineGirl Do you not know that hundreds of billions are being sunk into Ukraine? What do you think about it? We know about Trump's Iran. We now need to talk about Europe's Ukraine.

So talk about Europe's Ukraine.

@emiliya War is a depressing waste of public resources (taxes and manpower) that could be more constructively used for just about anything else. However, without international law and territorial integrity there is nothing else. Which is why, unfortunately, enhanced defence spending must remain Europe's priority. Trump has no such justification in Iran. Hence my aside that Ukraine is a "bargain".

@BohoBabe What are you people on?

@emiliya Your dad.

@BohoBabe

Yes, of course, Boo-Boo... Htler would have been only too happy to have the West stand by and do nothing while he built a Lebensraum empire in the East, perhaps extending to the Urals.

But Britain and France were not so stu pid as to let Nazi Germany become so powerful.

And it had long been basic British policy not to let a continental power to become too powerful in Europe; hence, for example, the British alliance with Russia, Austria and Prussia against Napoleon.

@BohoBabe I don't think she understands the Nazis. What is the point in debating if you don't understand? It is like doing math and not being able to add and subtract. Tinker is out of her depth.

@FreddieUK I have privileged access. Isn't it great?

@emiliya So you DO just act for your government. Thanks for the confirmation.

@FreddieUK lol

@Roundandroundwego I think “Better Dead than West.” Who wants that garbage coming to their door?

@emiliya Yes, Vlad. What you can't stand is that even in the days of the USSR the Ukrainians were the intelligent, resourceful ones.

@emiliya

Of course you prefer Ukraine as it was, when it was under Russia's thumb.

Unfortunately for you, the Ukrainians never cared much for the Russians.
