The war in Ukraine

[Barty]

"I miss the ""is putin about to make a big mistake"" thread"

[Hammer and Pickle]

Whole point is they’ve been making hay for years now so are in no position to gain out of making a nuisance of themselves

[WHU(Exeter)]

"Sounds like the Poles didn’t have enough readies for their Shreddies. Poor show to resort to violence though, current circumstances considered. The Ukrainians need support right now, not some pincer movement on behalf of mother Russia, by some pitchfork swinging Polish farmers?"

[riosleftsock]

I'm not a(maize)d nobody listened. Wheat ryed to tell them.

[WHU(Exeter)]

Let’s hope these horrible attacks don’t escalate from attacks to actual killings. Then they’d be cereal killers.

"""Polish farmers are attacking and emptying Ukrainian trucks carrying grain to sell. "" Is that the sort of behaviour Ukrainian tradesmen and entrepreneurs can expect daily upon their nation's entry into the EU?"

[Hammer and Pickle]

"How good of you to identify with the cause of Polish farmers, hyacinth. However, you might be surprised you’re far worse off than they are. You seen the size of their John Deers?"

[Dwight Van Mann]

Polish farmers are attacking and emptying Ukrainian trucks carrying grain to sell. What are YOU doing to stop this Pickle?? Have you threatened to kill even one farmer in front of their friends?

[Mike Oxsaw]

"Since when did requiring members of a group being required to step up to the plate and pay their fair share equate to destroying that group? Them's the words of a screaming neurotic, z-list diva. Had Biden suggested exactly the same thing all you confirmed snowflakes would be praising him to the rafters. Bet you're off to the pub bogs pretty sharpish when it's your round, too - not that you actually have anybody to share a round with in the first place."

"Putin’sleftsock 1.30 wrote “All complete bollocks used to keep a bunch of very rich people in power whilst stealing money from all of us”. That, above, certainly applies to Putin’s kleptocracy."

[Hammer and Pickle]

What is mind boggling is that people can still claim Trump is anything other than guided weapon bent on destroying NATO

[Jaan Kenbrovin]

"It's mind boggling seeing the same people insisting Trump wants to remove the US from NATO, up in arms about him insisting NATO allies pay their way. The same people that want to protect democracy by obstructing it out of fear of him winning."

[riosleftsock]

Its because the International rules based order is bullshit as are European Values and 'defending democracy'. All complete bollocks used to keep a bunch of very rich people in power whilst stealing money from all of us; and filling our countries full of shit.

[Nutsin]

"Pickle what is obvious is that the US is paying, why shouldn’t the other countries step up and pay their bit too? Trump is right and you know it!"

[Hammer and Pickle]

"I really don’t think you understand how international organisations or national debt works. That’s no problem but the trouble is, it seems neither does Trump; and that means we’ve got to hope the US public isn’t as thick as you."

[Nutsin]

"Minimum required defense spending by NATO countries During the 2014 summit, all NATO members agreed to spend at least 2% of their GDPs on defense by 2025. In 2017, only four nations met the threshold: The United States (3.6%), Greece (2.4%), the United Kingdom (2.1%), and Poland (2.0%). However, by 2021, ten countries were meeting the percentage target. Top 10 NATO Countries with the Highest Defense Expenditures (by % of 2021 GDP) United States

[Hammer and Pickle]

err yes. How long does Trump plan for the US to be the world’s top superpower?

[Nutsin]

Who funds NATO According to CNN USA pays 3.61% of GDP the most by a mile. Greece is next at 2.36% Estonia at 2.18% UK at 2.17% Poland at 2.1% All other members are below 2% Then add the in excess of over $100 billion we have given to Ukraine the many Billions we are throwing at Israel and Taiwan. What was your question?

[Hammer and Pickle]

Yes yes I see you’re feeling all righteous right now. Only a moment ago you were all worried about the national debt so go - tell us all about it!

[Nutsin]

"Who gives the most money to NATO? the United States In 2023, the United States spent an estimated 860 billion U.S. dollars on defense. This makes their defense budget, by far, the biggest out of all the NATO members. Germany was the country with the second highest defense expenditure at 68 billion U.S Dollars, with the UK following in third."

[Nutsin]

"Who is the biggest contributor to IMF? The IMF's largest member is the United States, with a quota (as of April 30, 2016) of SDR 83 billion (about $118 billion), and the smallest member is Tuvalu, with a quota of SDR 2.5 million (about $3.5 million)."

[Nutsin]

[Hammer and Pickle]

"The WEF. Yes, er how exactly is that going to help with reducing the national debt please?"

[Nutsin]

"World Bank, IMF, NATO, United Nations, WEF. Thats a start. All need reigning in especially the WEF."
