It’s politically complicated of course. But I don’t think our Western European governments have ever looked weaker. We can barely all agree on the right economic sanctions.
1. It may be a few days old but we stood by as Russia took Crimea years ago. We shouldn’t have allowed that in the first place.
2. Many counties have nukes. Ukraine had them and gave them up in exchange for security assurances from UK/US/Russia.
3. The UK gov is now saying if British citizens want to go and fight in Ukraine they support them. Maybe we should send some of the soldiers we’ve spent lots of taxpayer money training instead?
