       I know it's not a 'popular opinion' but at some point I do think European countries should consider sending arms and troops to Ukraine to help them liberate from the Russian invasion..It's been many many years, deaths, money, misery later since this startedWe should act together and show; "no more"But that's me..#Ukraine #war #Europe

       @stux I agree. Russia isn't going to give up until every single soldier is dead and their economy collapses, and even then, they will put out the propaganda and blame Europe and NATO. Helping Ukraine will help everyone in Europe. Get in there and do it. This has gone on too long. Everyone has geared up for war now, so time to put it to use. Putin miscalculated badly, but as long as Europe keeps hands off, this will not end well - and they'll be next.

       @stux In theory, we must wonder how long we can stand by and letting russia continue murdering.In practice, we don't even remotely have the necessary amounts of air defence, stealth fighter jets, cruise missiles, artillery ammunition, short-range drones, tanks and armoured vehicles. We have no long-range stealth bombers and no experience with ground, sea, fibre-optic and long-range drones.And we would no longer be able to supply Ukraine with our weapons, because we would need them ourselves.

       @stux The EU faces a choice. Be a fossil fuel vassal of Russia, OPEC, or Koch Network.

       @stux I know what we read from the comfort and safety of our homes can make us angry. But you can’t forget war requires lives. Each life has family, friends, siblings and their own children. To ask a completely different country to send more people to die is a lot to ask. It’s a war there not directly in and not one they asked for. As far as I know most counties don’t deny anyone who wants to personally go over and volunteer. And maybe countries should offer more incentive for those to volunteer. but I think it needs to stop there. Let me put it to you like this. No one is stopping you from going over and helping if you want to.

       @stux The UK does not confirm or deny what its special forces might or might not be doing.

       @stux If the west had sent more at the beginning, it would probably be over.

       @stux @blogdiva I am very curious as to how the German government classifies the kamikaze drones found in Leipzig. Not holding my breath, though. If they thought it was urgent, they’d have called for an emergency session even if it’s the summer break…

       @stux They are, though. Hence solutions such as killing everyone who isn't them. Or "us" as they put it to the inner circle.
