Even though this is a great place to keep up with what's going on, it's now becoming too depressing for me to check. All the excitement I have following labour's massive win is not deflated just going through a few posts here, who am I fooling, there is no saving us if this continues to be the reaction to every Russian's offensive. Thoughts and prayers to those dying in our behalf.

There is a good chance that Trump wins the election and Biden doesn't seem to give a shit about giving Ukraine a head-start in case that happens, Ukraine has 6 months to do as much damage as possible in the event of a Trump win, instead we're going to keep their arms tied and Ukraine is going to be a good little boy following all our rules, only for America to fucking backstab them because some people are goddamn cowards.

Ukraine without America pretty much kills any hope of them retaking their land unless something drastic happens to benefit them.

I hope to see UK step up to the plate and taking a leadership position if America abandons Ukraine and doesn't just follow America like a little dog, I hope UK forms closer bonds with the Baltics/Nordics/Central Europe because it has to be either us or France as the only two nuclear holding countries in Europe, we need to step up, especially if America backstabs us.

I have my doubts of a Ukraine victory if America abandons us, especially if they keep these stupid rules on Ukraine up until the point of them abandoning us, but I hope I can at least be proud of the fact that UK won't abandon its allies and will stick by their side to the very end and stay with Ukraine as long as they still have the courage to fight on all our behalf.

Yeah, I just never understand why everybody acts like we have all the time in the world to deal with this particular problem when we really really don't. Everybody keeps saying oh this is an inflection point, but I don't ever see the appropriate response.
