I don’t see an scenario where Poland walks away from the Ukraine. They are tied at the hip now and into the future over the next 3-10yrs. As long as the Tories are in power the UK will be apart of this mix, lose the next election and all bets are off.
Agreed.
I was listening to his speech yesterday - I’ll try to dig it up. Sounded like the previously mentioned Leo 1, Marder and Pz2000 are going to move East.
And Ronald must be spinning in the grave knowing that the ‘Evil Empire’ is now looked at by the Republicans as the ‘good guys’.
I don’t think that’s a fair assessment. Sure some idiots in the party are clinging to some bizarre idea that Russia was provoked, but they are a small minority.
The tail wags the dog now my friend, in our current bizarro world, this is reality.
Right now most Republican elected officials have seen which way the wind blows - and it’s heavily against Russia with the voters…
Spotted some media earlier this week saying Leopards were going to the Czechs (so the Czechs can send T72s to UKR) ...

Bingo, look at who's supporting art extremes financially and on both sides.Pivo - that is one of the problems that we are dealing with. "The" Republicans, "The" Democrats, "The" Conservatives, "The" Liiberals are a lot more than the "True" believers identified by both themselves and their enemies. It is that very distinction that our mutual enemies have been fostering and promoting. And the parties themselves have been playing to that division because it gets fans/fanatics out into the streets to work for the party for free.
We don't need to play up the divisions. That has been Vlad's game all along and the game of the Comintern since 1921.
Let's try not to play their game.
Yup. Got those and you and @KevinB are right about Germany's direction. Saw those before but thought there might be something new very recently.Spotted some media earlier this week saying Leopards were going to the Czechs (so the Czechs can send T72s to UKR) ...
... and this on Leopards & Marders ...Germany to give Czechs 15 tanks to help it arm Ukraine - statement
Germany will give the Czech Republic 15 Leopard 2 tanks, the German defence ministry said, part of a "ring exchange" programme under which Berlin aims to help countries pass their stocks of Soviet weaponry to Ukraine to help it fight Russia.

German Chancellor Scholz’s government statement: Rearming for war against Russia
The government statement made by Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz to the federal parliament on Thursday morning, and the ensuing debate, made clear how aggressively German imperialism is behaving once again 77 years after the end of the Second World War.www.wsws.org

Yes. But heavily with Trump and his views if they want financial help in getting elected
And if memory serves, Trump wasn't all that keen on arming Ukraine during his tenure. Mind you, the Russian troops were only in the smaller occupied bits in the east @ that point.
At both far ends.
Sure makes one ashamed to carry a French name. At least it makes the white flag and surrender jokes easier to bear.
A warm and fuzzy feeling when one starts hearing things like ''Lend-Lease'', ''AUMF'' and ''coalition of the willing''.
Really, haven't seen much in the alleged free press. Sources?
I look at voting records - and constantly berate my fellow Republicans if they act like imbeciles
