      Putin’s plan was to take Ukraine in three days. I don’t think he can really be commenting on other peoples’ plans, can he?

      He can feel free to pick a fight with a modern airforce and navy if he thinks that will help his floundering army that’s struggling to deal with a war ravaged Ukraine.

      We have a long and notorious history of sending our troops where we want and when we want despite the protests of foreign leaders.

      At this point it’s clear we’re going to wind up in a confrontation regardless of the “talks” taking place in Saudi Arabia. It’d be better for Starmer to get ahead of the curve and side-step the EU by working with Zelensky to put British forces in Ukraine, even in an aid capacity in areas distant from the frontline yet still afflicted by Russian terrorism.

      Start small, build up if the threat continues. In the meantime, British troops can take over providing medical support and other aid whilst Ukrainian troops are freed up for the front.

      This has always been considered a likely outcome of the US led peace talks. That no common ground can be found because Russian aims aren’t reasonable and the US therefore has to escalate because “we tried, god knows we tried but that Putin? Bad guy, bad guy…”

      Russia seem to be under a bit of a misapprehension that they’re really the ones making decisions here. They’re trapped: they either do what the US finds agreeable or they’re in a real spot of bother. I expect they’ll come round.

      This story seems to be have been wildly misinterpreted. Probably purposefully so.

      The PM said that British Troops could be utilised in peacekeeping operation in the event of a ceasefire agreement requiring peacekeeping troops. Nothing particularly outrageous about that. It’s not the first time British troops has participated in peacekeeping.

      This seems to have been presented and interpreted by bad faith actors and hostile media as if he’s proposing British Troops to go to Ukraine to fight. That’s not the case.

      Of course he won’t. He wants ukraine demilitarised and vulnerable so that he can renege on any deal and sweep in and take it all.

      Putin doesn’t engage in good faith diplomacy, its purely for tactical advantage.

      I know that Mr. Lammy isn’t the brightest foreign secretary to have served in the FCO, however I don’t believe that Mr. Putin has jurisdiction over the United Kingdom’s foreign policy.

      Perhaps Sir Starmer ought to remind our chums in the East of the British Empire’s policy of speaking softly, but carrying a bloody big stick.

      Am I the only one who thinks that Putin saying this is…odd? Like it feels too direct and too loud.

    14. DadofJackJack on

      Ok Putin, pretty sure Ukraine and Starmer don’t really allow your troops or North Korean troops in Ukraine.

      This is a classic attempt by Russia to control the narrative and set up a “concession “ to allow British troops in Ukraine in exchange for no other concessions. Don’t forget that uk troops in Ukraine was in Russia’s peace deal a few months ago.

      Too far from the table to hear you I’m afraid Vlad, did you say send UK troops in? Ok old bean!

    17. OutrageousEconomy647 on

      I’m never been more pro-war in my life. What was the point of sending our boys to Afghan and Iraq to die for Bush and Tony’s bullshit? Nothing. Pointless. This time it’s about defending freedom in Europe. This is what soldiers sign up to do. This is a mission for warriors.

    18. Beneficial-Pitch-430 on

      Ok. So Britain sends a carrier to the Black Sea and puts 20k troops in Ukraine. What does Putin do? Nothing. Is he going to start ww3 and risk the certain destruction of Moscow? No.

      If you don’t agree with what Kiers has alleged you’re apparently a Putin lover. Wtf is this sub…

    20. anunkneemouse on

      I despise our govt but the moment another govt says “i wont allow it” im ready to sign up for the military and get boots on the ground, bro. Lets GOOOOOOOO

    21. inevitablelizard on

      Putin said the same about pretty much every step up in aid. They wouldn’t accept HIMARS. Or 155mm howitzers. Or air defence systems. Or long range missiles. He definitely wouldn’t accept western fighter aircraft, or for long range missiles being allowed to hit targets in Russia. Ignore him.

      I don’t think we should be listening to what a shit stain like Putin has to say. He should be put into a situation that he will do as he’s told! Like go play in traffic.
