If Russia is so concerned about Ukraine’s defensive action then Russia should stop invading: UK statement at the UN Security Council

Just putting this in because it’s a bloody good little speech.

Personal highlight for me is recommending the Russians read Tolstoy:

> this Christmas I suggest the Russian delegation reads How Much Land Does a Man Need? by Leo Tolstoy. It’s a story about a man, who, in his greed to acquire more and more land, he exhausts himself and dies. He’s buried in a six-foot grave, which is all the land he ends up with. The moral is quite clear, the Russians would do well to heed the wisdom of their forebearers.

Turning this war into a world war under the guise of preserving “Ukrainian territorial integrity” is hilarious. Where was that energy in 2014, when Crimea was annexed? Or regarding Israel, where they are bombarding Palestinian land heavily every day despite 200,000 civilian casualties?

Or is this a pretext to start a world war with Russia? Methinks the latter.

Edit: don’t get me wrong, in principle I support Ukraine and they are the victim. But I do not trust the politicians at all in their handling of this conflict. They’re too bloodthirsty

I think the British government is generally full of incompetent, selfish and borderline criminal people for decades now and the only single thing they do that I can whole-heartedly support is how they support Ukraine against the Russian invasion. If there is only one single right thing they do, this is it. Not backing down from the Russian threat and keep supporting Ukraine is pretty much the only thing the government does that I wouldn’t argue with.
