@randahl Agreed, but it does not stop private support. In the last 3 years I donated 1000s in equipment, winter supplies and cash. Just find your local Ukraine charity or donate via many mechanisms online.
@CressSalad I donated too.
But I cannot donate 1 million soldiers and the entire western air force. For that we need a war plan.

Now 4 years have passed, and we are 450 million EU and 69 million UK citizens still standing on the sidelines, telling 38 million Ukrainians they should fight 133 million Russians on their own.
We could end this war. Instead we keep pretending that it is fine to let Ukraine take all the punches.
I find that profoundly shameful.
@randahl No more shameful than we Americans have responded. You are learning and adapting. I'm sorry we Americans are just making it worse.

@randahl donβt forget you have had the USA going hot and cold,dragging its feet, limiting the capabilities of it technology, switching off critical technology and refusing to go all out. The USA doesnβt want Ukraine to win or more accurately doesnβt want Russia to lose.
Europe and the rest of the world has learnt, You can never trust a Seppo. -

What's even more disgraceful is how Ukraine is being used to test the next generation of weapons for WW3.
They aren't guinea pigs in a lab.

@randahl The problem is that other nations' leaders either believed Putin's threats about escalation "if NATO joined", and/or they feared internal political detriment if their nation's soldiers were killed.
We don't have leaders, we have politicians.
Although it probably would have only taken one other nation to commit troops for all others to quickly go "oh, yes, we will too" - but since no one did take that step.

@randahl Ucrania y luego ha llegado Mr. Trump y la geopolΓtica mundial ha cambiado radilcamente. La guerra de Putin contra Ucrania pasΓ³ a ser una guerra de tanques y se ha convertido en una guerra de drones y puso sobre la mesa las debilidades de Europa mΓ‘s allΓ‘ de su mΓΊsculo econΓ³mico.
La UE necesita nuevos actores polΓticos, el pueblo ruso debe hacΓ©rselo mirar y los aliados de Rusia como IrΓ‘n, China e India no han contribuΓdo mucho.
Han pasado muchas cosas desde el comienzo de la guerra ... -

30 sanction packages should have been one, a comprehensive one. And Russian shadow fleet ships can still pass by Denmark into the North Sea.
What a shame!

@randahl If I look at this in the only area I have any expertise, itβs clear that Europeβs war machine doesnβt run without US tech.
And currently, the US is significantly puppeteered by rus interests in this thing, it seems to me?
Not a good technical base to stand on, confronting the rus.

@randahl Alright. Let's just attack Russia and hope we don't see 5.000 nukes falling from the sky. That sounds like an amazing idea.
Actually, why don't we just end ourselves and spare the Russians the trouble.

@randahl you know how we could have already ended this war? Not giving the 2014 coup d'etat, sponsored by the US and the EU. That would have created 0 wars. Now you want the European citizenship to support a war created by some criminals in our name by giving the power in Ukraine to their worst nationalistic fascists? No, I don't think so. Go fight yourself.

@randahl how can we? And why, esp. UK and USA, didn't we at the very beginning of the war, when Russia and Ukraine were leading the according talks pretty successfully themselves?

@randahl Couldn't agree more! Let the people of Ukraine suffer so we can do business as usual :-((and EU leaders still dare to call that solidarity.)

so the ukrainian people rose up in 2014 of their own accord
it was not mind control from the CIA that made ukrainians rise up
and now today they fight with their lives to remain free of russia. again, of their own accord
do you imagine they fight now because of CIA mind control?
π€ͺ
do you have any respect for the ukrainian people at all?
no you don't
you're a liar pushing weak kremlin disinfo or you're an idiot with a tiny head full of kremlin disinfo

if russia nukes europe moscow ceases to exist in an equivalent nuclear hellfire. so russia won't nuke europe
and europeans aren't just going to end themselves as you wish, vatnik

in the arab spring as well the people rose up on their own
you're the one living in a teletubbies world where they push magic buttons at CIA hq and then magically thousands, millions of people suddenly desire to be free of sick feeble autocratic corrupt govts
it's not possible that the people living in those countries, all on their very own, don't like their govts? that's a crazy idea to you?
why are you so dumb?
why do you believe stupid weak kremlin lies?

@benroyce @randahl if you are able to remember what happened in that year 2014, although I seriously doubt your intellectual capacity, there was a parallel similar movement both in Ukraine and in Egypt, where 'the people rose up' (xD). There was a coup d'etat in both countries, in Ukraine against a pro-Russian guy, after whom Ukrainian nationalistic took power, began the war in the Donbass against pro-Russian regions and perpetrated the Odessa massacre; while in Egypt there was elections which gave place to the Muslim Brothers rule. The first ones were supported by the Western powers, while the second ones weren't and suffered another coup d'etat by their military who have been ruling ever since.
Then Egypt dissapeared from the news outlets while Ukraine was offered to host a NATO base, finally triggering Russia's invasion.

i understand the vatnik lies, idiot
a revolution by the people is not a coup, you stupid liar
ukraine did not declare war on their own people. russia moved troops into donbas and started a war, in ukraine. ukraine was fighting a russian invasion in donbas in 2014
don't believe me? putin said so, you stupid liar:
and nato base?
don't you mean werewolf supersoldier biolab?
nobody sane believes your ignorant vatnik bullshit, you stupid liar
