Summary
At a European summit in Budapest, UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer assured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky of the UK’s “iron-clad” support for Ukraine amidst concerns over potential shifts in U.S. aid following Donald Trump’s election victory.
European leaders, including Hungary’s Viktor Orban, emphasized the need for Europe to take more responsibility for its defense, with Orban cautioning against over-reliance on the U.S.
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte warned of the threats posed by Russia and its allies, while Starmer urged Ukraine’s allies to strengthen their commitment to supporting Kyiv.
Keep the faith, Brits. Perhaps Brexit washed some of the insanity out early enough that the far right continues to struggle there.
Hopefully we’re not slowly returning to the Napoleonic Era, I’m not sure you guys could withstand all of continental Europe a third time.
makes sense. after all, the united kingdom + a lot of rain + an affinity for Ecstasy = UK-Rain-E.
aren’t ironclads a type of ship in civ6? is this a civ6 reference?
They were 19th century steam powered wooden ships. Eventually we just started making the hull out of steel too
Ironclads are actual ships in history.
whoa now that is a crazy coincidence
Is the following trade deal of interest to you?
no thank you, i get all my deals from quick deals thank you very much
“We’ll keep taxing our people and cutting welfare to the needy to fund this proxy war on Putin. We shouldn’t really be spending, have just announced a 40bn black hole in the nations finances, but this is too good a bargain to resist”
Yeah. Obviously, Mr. Starmer should take a sensible page from one of his predecessors.
And then nothing went wrong.
The good news is that instead of cheering for death and bombs at some one else’s expense, you can volunteer to fight with Ukraine, although they prefer people with experience I think they’re increasingly flexible these days.
Go well tough guy !
Something tells me they wouldn’t wan a 47-year-old who has two severe illnesses he’s dealing with and doesn’t have the energy to walk more than about 30 minutes without having to rest for two hours. And also, I’ve never fired a gun. And I don’t speak Ukrainian and I have no money for a plane ticket to get over there and I’m sure there are plenty of other reasons.
So no, I don’t think that is the good news.
Also, I’m not cheering death. It is not my fault that Putin invaded Ukraine. I just think he needs to be stopped because he’s a fascist dictator and letting fascist dictators take whatever countries they feel like is, in most people’s eyes, a bad thing. Your mileage may vary.
As an American, you are 10000 miles away. Your military industrial complex is making bank, and you haven’t committed a single soldier.
Shut. The . Fuck. Up.
As a Russian, you are losing this war. You don’t get to have a vote, you’ll get conscripted against your will and will be gone within 3 months.
да конечно, гринтинг из сибири, товарищ
Just a friendly reminder that in the real world, the country that cancelled its presidential elections this year and is conducting forced mobilization is Ukraine. In Russia, the presidential elections were held six months ago and the forced mobilization ended two years ago.
~.ml ~real world ~russian elections
Sure buddy. After all there are no conscripts in Kursk :))))))
You do know I have control over none of that, right?
Also, I think you need to pay attention to our civility rules in the sidebar.
Also also, considering I am emigrating to Britain, I’ll be a lot closer to Ukraine. Where are you?
Tell me you don’t know how this works without telling me you don’t know how this works
Show me how to use popular internet words to say absolutely nothing
Starmer might be a slimey little bitch in every other regard but if he can keep the people of Ukraine free then I salute him.
I just wish literally any other major labor MP had been picked for PM since then we might see positive economic action.
