  1. All it took was the threat of another dictator joining the party.

  4. Anyone else just find this sad? It’s almost like they can feel the impending abandonment. That Trumps going to do everything he can for Russia…

    So all the allies are just saying… good luck… do what you can with what you got.

    I really hope that’s not true, but damn is it my fear.

  5. Good. There is only one who will lament this and he has Benn dragging his country down since he was in the mayor’s office in Petersburg.

    It’s about time. Slava Ukraine.

  7. Am I correct that they are highly precise, but won’t reach for example Moscow?

    Either way this is fantastic. I would love to be a fly on the wall with the Ukrainian generals deciding where to strike first.

  11. A thousand days too late, but better late than never.

  12. Let’s gooo, now hoping more countries increase production for next year. Here in Sweden we make some really good tech but our production is so low, hopefully Trump makes more countries in Europe go harder.

  14. Shits about to get real real for the ruzzians. Enjoy the fireworks

  15. Not advocating the targetting of anywhere or anyone, but perhaps air raid sirens over Russian towns will bring the reality of the war home and make people question their support. Also hope it is not the first link in a chain of escalation that sees missiles raining down on London.

  16. Send it.
    This whole capitulating to Putin thing will be much harder if the West do the right thing.
    It’s an absolute crime against humanity and frankly if it were any other nation we wouldn’t tolerate this.

  17. Interestingly the BBC (out national “state run” news outlet here in the UK) is saying no decision has been made yet, and Starmer is currently half way across the Atlantic to attend a G20 meeting.

    So it looks like this was long pre-agreed depending on the US election result and Ukraine are “leaking” it early.

    Must say, being rational (I always get the proper shakes with news stories like this, worried it might mean nuclear war) there are probably massive conditions attached to this which will make it a bit more of a nothingness in terms of major escalation but will let Ukraine get that upper-hand they need. Fingers crossed.

  18. Good. Now, let’s give them a couple hundred of them.

  19. Guessing the meeting between Biden and Trump didn’t turn out as he had hoped.

  21. Good news for Ukraine but it won’t really tilt the war.

  23. The three amigos are back! For a couple months at least. 

  24. Is this limited to Kursk only like the US have said or have they said no holds barred?

  25. Maybe they can bomb a few troll farms while they’re dismantling the oil infrastructure.

  27. As a German I am embarrassed that the Russian-Iranian propaganda machine in our country has made the greenlighting of Taurus use politically very difficult.

    I really hope international forces are surveilling and investigating AfD and BSW parties. They are clearly Russian affiliated and anti-System puppets to disrupt our democracies, just like the MAGA fucks in the US.

  30. Bully’s only understand violence. Push Putin back into his territory.

  31. Saint Javelin and Saint Storm Shadow are smiling. 🚀

  32. The source for this article, Le Figaro, has been updated and doesn’t mention France or the UK now.

    This paragraph was removed.

    “La décision était attendue. Les Français et les Britanniques avaient autorisé l’Ukraine à frapper le territoire russe en profondeur grâce à leurs missiles SCALP/Storm Shadow”

  35. As much as I, a Brit, applaud this (finally), I do worry to some degree about the reaction this may have inside the Kremlin. Will Putin and cohort not seek some kind of retribution against the UK and France if they somehow perceive this as them getting fully involved in the war in Ukraine? Whether that be in the open or by some kind of silly subterfuge

  36. I would like to post a massive meme of a smiling cat. You know the one. But I can’t.

    We’re all thinking of the smiling cat, fuck you Russia.

    Fuck you very much.

  39. I’ll light a joint with my French and British brothers on this long-awaited decision

  47. Well what the fuck? How many extra Ukrainians died because the west was scared? If they were really afraid of Putin going nuclear why would now be different from a few months ago. Putin sees the west is scared that’s why he keeps escalating the war.

  48. Please clear the world from the Russian threatening, use nuclear too if helps

  49. God bless America, Great Britain and France! Let’s make Russia great again
