Wrong Andy McNab.

The Eastern NATO members have already sent Soviet model tanks and air defence systems, the MiGs require the US committing to backfill the Polish airforce- I think there is a willingness to do so but it will be a slow process to get things moving. Germany is intending to supply redundant Leopard 1 tanks, but it will take time for Ukrainian troops to train on them, and a willingness on Ukraine's side to release the manpower to do it.

Your last comment is tripe. The US will not go toe to toe with Russia over Ukraine, and would probably have been less supportive than it has been if Donny was still in office. The US foreign policy focus is on China, as that is where their national interests lie. They will provide NATO with all it needs to defend itself, and to deter Russia from crossing the line into invading NATO territory. It is an unfortunate truth for Ukraine that whilst it desires to "move" West, it is dominated by a very jealous and aggressive former occupier who is unwilling to let go it's influence.

There isn't time to train the Ukrainian military on NATO heavy kit, and we will not risk our best technology falling into Russian hands.

The situation is that with the fall of Mariupol Putin will just about have all that he wanted out of the conflict. Whilst Ukraine is fighting a valiant defence, there is no way that they will be able to turn things around and take the initiative in Donbas or elsewhere in the South East, the numbers, and lack of air power, are stacked against them. Putin's new military chief is renowned for having a scorched earth approach to gaining territory, and will simply blitz everything left in his path as he aims to take complete control of Donetsk and Luhansk - he really doesn't care a jot about collateral damage or casualties. Once this has been achieved Russia will declare the Special Military Operation has come to a successful conclusion, and the May 9th victory parades will take place.

Obviously false. Ukraine is clearly destroying it's own territory and the UK is fabricating the evidence of mass civilian casualties.

i don't understand why people might be surprised that politicians might be economical with the truth.

In NYC you can only get a 'carry' licence for business purposes.

Saying that something "wasn't very clear" is not "knowing it was false". Isn't the whole point of propaganda to promote your side of the dispute ? Why not 'make things up' to pre-empt things you don't want to happen - ie, China supplying Russia, ( which is a very credible scenario ). The bottom line; Has Russia invaded Ukraine ? Have Ukrainian civilians been targetted ? Have Russian troops been looting and levelling Ukrainian towns and villages ? Have Russia the capability to deploy chemical weapons, and do they have 'previous' regarding their use ? Anything that can be done to oppose and ultimately defeat this is legitimate.

The Lizard People had informed the Bilderberg Group that Microsoft had engineered nano-bots that could be injected to effect either mind control or global de-population.

Will there be an option to ban Russian teams from international competitions ?

According to Putin's pet, Lukashenko, the allegations of atrocities are "a psychological operation carried out by the English".

Just to be sure- In 1960 we had 8 aircraft carriers and over 150 destroyers/frigates; the army was more than 3 times the size it is now, and defence spending was over 7% of GDP. Is that the level you are thinking of ?

Add to this a Tory MP being convicted of sexual assault against a teenager and Crispin Blunt (MP) immediately posting on social media that it is a "dreadful miscarriage of justice". The Government is clearly a morality free zone.

What sort of PM needs to be told whether he is at a party?

BoJo and Sunak given FPNs after Partygate.

Not every country holds the Western World view. China especially, but also India and some African nations, are playing their own game. It is likely that at least half of the global population tune in to media outlets that don't follow the UK/US/EU narrative over Ukraine.

Biden will not get involved militarily unless a NATO member is attacked.

No red cards or VAR controversy about today.

Right I'm off. Time to look forward to the Grand National.

But nobody gets a backlash from us after a bad defeat.
