Here's my tuppence on the situation.......putin amassed troops and war machinery at Ukraines borders, the west nor the east europeans did anything about it, russia invaded ukraine and took part of Ukraine, with inside help that was built up over time, the west did nothing....so the russians have gone one step further and have invaded and will take over the Ukraine, incorporate it back into the communist regime and begin on the next country and what exactly are the west doing to prevent this.....let's see, ooooo germany are sending the Ukraine faulty rockets, they know they are and they are still sending 200 of them. So, chances are they will blow themselves up....really helpful, oooo I know taking in refugees from a war they could have prevented...really helpful too. I'm being sarcastic...what's the eu doing about it, nothing, they need the russian gas and their money...they haven't even sanctioned them, not that it will do any good. The west were all fooled by putin and his friendship with the west, china have done the same thing and north korean nearly did it with trump........they fool them into attracting finance and big business, get money for rebuilding factories etc and then when they have amassed enough finance, they kiss the west good bye...with taking up arms and none of our leaders have seen it coming? Look if the west sanctioned china.....we would lose most of our electrical goods straight away, most toys come from that way or thereabouts, clothes, even some food stuffs and don't forget their cheap coal and steel, it could be catastrophic for a lot of countries around the world, and especially those they have special relationships with you know the road building etc...the money those countries owe china. The western alliance did screw up big time with Iraq II, going in under the pretence there were WMDs there, when there was not and never were, they allowed saddam to be killed, which opened up a massive can of worms as he kept Iraq under control by force and terror. Our business should lie within our own countries and the governments should be sorting out those for the good of the people before spending trillions on wars in countries we have no right being in. With regard to Afghanistan, surely the US administration took lessons from the first time they went in there and supplied our now terrorists with weapons to defeat the russians.....I guess not eh?
I believe we need our armed forces for our protection, that's what they are supposed to be there for, not for protecting a country halfway round the world for what? Sushi, Nissan, Toyota, kawasaki, honda, etc etc...what about the attacks on our shores at this moment in time because our government sees fit to save immigrants that come over in dinghies, get 4 star hotels and get to trash them, get food, clothes, mobile phones to chase under age girls and yes 200 just this year have been found to be trying to groom girls under 16 for sex, why not save some Ukrainians that think more like western europeans that some people that have come from religious countries that rule them religiously from abroad by sending abused scriptures from the Quran that come from Saudi Arabia, who are supposed to be allies to the west?
Hahahhahahhaha...I'm probably not in power right now because I would hurt too many peoples feelings by doing the right thing....cancelling any future foreign aid as our country is falling to pieces, the mental health dead in the water, our social funding benefits has taken an unbelievable pounding since covid struck, hospitals overworked etc and still we send money to places like India who have nuclear capabilities and space capabilities, I can see that ending well for pakistan...no, wait they too have nuclear capability thanks to funding by the UK via India. Just have a look at how much we send India in foreign aid and then look at how much India send pakistan...these 2 countries have been at war with each other for as long back as I can remember and they are still warring over Kashmir fgs....its a mountainous waste of space. So, in a sense our government is laundering money to pakistan via India, not bad huh.
The only people that get hurt in war are the general population and they have nothing to do with war, they suffer because of sanctions and that's the bit that is horrendously wrong in all of it, they suffer the greatest loss in war time....why should innocent people suffer because of a couple of leaders that want to puff out their chests and have a pissing contest. Get over yourselves act like frigging grown ups and if you want to kill someone, I recommend suicide be the best way to go.
