    Yes i also did gcse history and learnt about Chamberlain

    Perhaps we could avoid war instead by making Russia a geopolitical ally rather than continually making them an enemy? Its not like we have any trouble making strategic alliances with other disreputable states.

    No this chat by starmer is sabre rattling stupidity , what i dont fully understand is why they do it. The USA will be taking all the spoils from this war.

      Have we just conveniently memory holed world politics post the annexation of Crimea where we tried to ameliorate relations with Russia and what did that get us? A couple hundred thousand dead Ukrainians and Russians?

      You’re making this out as if this is Europe’s fault and Russia is the innocent party here. Perhaps Russia should stop fucking about in Europe, pull out of Ukraine and start to work on thawing diplomatic relations. The ball is in their court.

      Probably to act as a deterrent to further Russia escalations and help with the security of Ukraine.

      We were making Russia a geopolitical ally. Russia decided to invade Ukraine. Appeasement met with backstabbing.
