NATO to boost troops on high alert sevenfold in response to Russian invasion of Ukraine

Increased EU and NATO membership, less dependence on Russian gas and other exports.....Comrade Putin has done more for European unity than anyone else.

But, but, but, he has acted for the glory of the Soviet Union Russia! Roll Eyes

The PM has given China an unfavourable mention at the NATO summit in Madrid, which surprises me somewhat, but early days yet. No doubt China has been hoping the preoccupation with Ukraine will take the spotlight off its own actions.

Unlike some others here, I have no issue with the PMs travels since taking office. They have all been important meetings (even though I disagree with his 'reconciliation' with the French and his push for an EU free trade agreement) and are certainly in the national interest.

This visit to Kiev has shown that we are firmly in the Ukrainian camp, as we should be.

But that's the point; Putin does have access to that button, which is why the US is content to use Ukrainians as cannon fodder, in a proxy war to weaken Russia.

Meanwhile Biden is ramping us tension in the Taiwan Straits; no doubt he has calculated he has more nukes than China...
