So Germany and the US are finally getting serious and sending tanks to Ukraine

@Cierzo Really? Most of those here who are in favour of supplying arms to Ukraine seem to me to regard it simply as the lesser of two evils. Would you rather that Russia be allowed to annex Ukraine? If they are allowed that will your opinion be the same when they try the same with the Baltic states? After all they too have Russian minorities. And would they stop there? Or should all of the states that were under Russian influence in the past be under Russian rule in the future?

@ninalanyon Yes suddenly the right wing has become pacifists.

@JimboSaturn The right wing is not pacifist. The right wing knows that wars are part and parcel of human nature. The right wing also reckons that local conflicts like the one between Russia and Ukraine, or the one between Israel and Palestine should remain local. Intervention of foreign countries or global organisations like NATO does not solve anything, only put many more people in danger.

@Cierzo YOu mean isolationist. Well we all know how well that works in a global community.

@JimboSaturn We all know how global alliances have worked. They have already brought two world wars and are about to bring the third one.

@Cierzo What makes you think that Russia thinks that way?
