🇬🇧 The UK may send two brigades—up to 10,000 troops—to Ukraine, The Sun reports. Deploying peacekeepers could leave Britain vulnerable, as its army is at its smallest in 200 years, with just 71,300 personnel.

The Scum is dumb, leave the UK vulnerable is their typical scaremongering bullshit, vulnerable to who? We're a fucking island, one which is behind about a dozen allies, Lol. Unless America is about to attack us then we're not vulnerable to anything, we're hardly going to be at risk because we have 10,000 less troops sitting in the UK waiting for an imaginary enemy to attack us.

Western Europe should lead this initiative precisely because we are the least vulnerable. 

This is insane.

Traitors to America. Where is America's opposition? Where are the Democrats? Where are the moderate Republicans?

My thoughts on the Russian-American talks on Ukraine, without Ukraine. The simplest interpretation of the available facts is that the Americans are using Russian violence to try to exploit Ukraine.

“Ukraine should have never started it. They could have traded land.”

“It’s been a long time since Kyiv had an election. Zelensky has a 4% approval rating.”

Not the Kremlin, but Donald Trump.

The US govt/Donald Trump are trash.
Calling into question the legitimacy of Zelensky's presidency while Putin has been in power for a quarter of a century while murdering political opponents and invading neighbours. Shameless trash.

Donald Trump Demands Volodymyr Zelensky Hold Elections

FUCKING DO SOMETHING EUROPE INSTEAD OF HAVING A THOUSAND MEETINGS.

What I want to say about Trump right now is probably something that I shouldn't say as a Moderator of the website.

Apparently, according to some American politics expert,  Trump is too popular right now, nothing they would throw at him would stick now and instead backfire. So they're regrouping and waiting for an opening.

I'm pretty sure Russia allying with Iran and having talks in Saudi-Arabia (their two main regional rivals) has a lot to do with it.

The hypocrisy of Russia regarding legitimacy is pretty infuriating, for obvious reasons. Russia should get utterly ridiculed every time it tries to play that card.

Lets sum up America's talk the past few weeks.

1. Given Russia two major concessions before the negotiations even started.

- Offered to block Ukraine from being able to join NATO; Therefore leaving Ukraine alone and vulnerable in the future for when Russia eventually repairs its battered military and attacks for the 3rd time after their already two invasions targets in 11 years.

- Allowing Russia to keep the territory it has stolen from Ukraine, therefore giving them a major win and sending a signal to every other country in the world with imperialist ambitions; Steal some land, hunker down and eventually America will let you keep it.

Art of the deal is giving your opponent major wins before starting negotiations apparently.

2. Discussing pulling American troops from Europe's Eastern flank aka Baltic States, the countries most vulnerable to Russian aggression. Giving Putin another major win for further escalation.

3. Marco Rubio noted that America needs to take advantage of "the incredible opportunity to partner with the Russians geopolitically on issues of common interest" Yeah, sure, the incredible opportunity to partner with Nazis, that sounds amazing...America barely even offers America anything of importance, it's why they were able to sanction them so easily and more severely than Europe so this can only mean one thing: "We agree with Russia's Nazism and need Ukraine to surrender"

4. Blamed Ukraine for starting the war, victim blaming bullshit.

5. Said that Ukraine should have traded land for peace. Dumb fucks need to read a history book.

6. Demanded that Ukraine holds elections during wartime, despite the fact that Putin has ruled for 25 years in totally legit elections after murdering and imprisoning his political rivals. Despite the fact that there's currently millions of Ukrainian migrants not living in Ukraine, that Russia forcefully rules 15-20% of Ukraine and already held sham referendums in those areas, that Ukraine's constitution forbids elections during war, that other countries don't hold elections during war, that Russia will make threats and heavily try to interfere in the elections. The truth is, Trump wants Zelenskyy out of the way because he's too strong for Trump.

7. Made up bullshit and spread Russian propaganda that Zelenskyy has a 4% approval rating despite countless of actual polls saying otherwise but you don't need them to know that 4% is obvious horseshit.

8. Elon Musk praised Lavrov (a Nazi) as showing "competent leadership"

9. America/Trump lied about Ukraine being invited to Russian/American talks in Munich and then again lied about them being invited to Saudi Arabia peace talks.

10. Saudi Arabia proposed Ukraine be invited to peace talks, Russia and America both opposed inviting Ukraine to peace talks, they're both trying to go over Ukraine's head to discuss what to do with Ukraine. Just like how Trump negotiated directly with the Taliban and backstabbed the Afghan Government and look where that has got Afghanistan now.

11. Said that Ukraine had disappointed him, because they had 3 years to negotiate (Aka 3 years to surrender).

12. America demanded a higher share of Ukrainian GDP than Germany's 1st World War reparations. Sure fire way to make Ukrainians fucking despite America and create a few terrorists/extreme nationalists.

13. Demanded $500bn in "payback" from Ukraine for past military support under Joe Biden (despite American support coming nowhere near $500bn) and on top of that, this "deal" didn't come with new military support, so he was simply trying to extort Ukraine.

14. Vance went to Munich only to attack Europe and said he was more concerned about Europe than Russia.

15. They tried to blackmail Ukraine into signing the mineral deal, throwing it onto Zelenskyy and giving him an hour to read and sign it, told him he can't meet JD Vance if he doesn't sign it. Zelenskyy refused.

16. Trying to block Europe from being involved in peace talks, said that Europe made past mistakes (Aka stood up to a genocidal maniac)

17. Blamed Biden for a war that started in 2014.

18. Said that he trusts Putin.

19. Said that he wants Russia back in the G7.

Trump, Vance, and Musk are the best political campaign the Left could ask for in Europe.

Hopefully the same pattern will hold true in Canada as well, enough to de-fang Pierre Poilievre.

Half of that shit straight up looks like something you'd hear in one of those Russian propaganda shows, the same shows where they masturbate over the thought of nuking America but these fucking cuck MAGA idiots are all "Omg Russia is so great now" Lol. Russia wants you dead.

Right now the only country I hate more than America is Russia.

Sounds like an excuse to me, his ratings across all polls are currently Unfavourable 48.1%. That is one of the worst 1st months ever for a President IIRC. There's dozens of things to attack him for, he is gutting popular things across the board, even Ukraine support is high enough in America and Russian dislike still remains strong. It seems more to me like the Democratic Establishment needs new leadership and a new approach because the current ones aren't cut out for this fight, AOC has shown more fight than half of them combined.

There needs to be far more outrage at Trump spitting in the face of allies, aligning with Russia.

As for Türkiye, yeah, Türkiye does whatever benefits Türkiye and that is usually giving Russia a slap, Lol. They're geopolitical rivals, I'm not surprised to see Türkiye remain a strong supporter but having said that I can't ever trust Türkiye as I know Erdogan can be bought. But Türkiye already booted Russia out of Syria so it's no surprise to see them want Russia booted out of Ukraine too.

IIRC Conservatives in Canada have dipped hard due to America's current shit but are still in the lead, I don't think we have to worry about them though. It's only good if politicians take advantage of it though, a lot of current leaders are centrists and still seem scared to go brutally honest on America, Keir Starmer for starters is trying hard to be a fence sitter and not upset America. Think the Lib Dems under Ed Davey ought to start blasting America and become a fully pro-EU party because Labour is now a centrist party. The left is open for someone to fill the void. Greens are kind of useless in the UK, Lol. Need to turn America into the enemy/thing to unite people in hatred, if the right can do it about immigrants then we can do it about America...They're giving us enough good reason to do so.
