  1. > About 20 countries are interested in joining a “coalition of the willing” to help Ukraine, according to UK officials.

    Hopefully Vance can pull his head out of Trump’s anus for a few minutes to approve each country on the basis of whether they have been to war recently enough for him.

  2. I think the biggest question in every geopolitical analyst’ mind right now is without America, whether the West’s military capability is sufficient to deter Putin from expanding Westward. If the answer is no, then these leaders will in fact be preparing for a war between 20+ countries and Russia, which is quite a different question altogether.

    Edit: I think people are misunderstanding the point I’m making, of course Russia will lose a war against 20 of the richest countries on Earth, but the question here is are we ready to be at war with a nuclear power in the first place?

  3. Are we close to WW3? And if we are, will the United States be ally or enemy? Will we be on the same side as China?

  4. Does it work without American air cover though? Everything I’ve read so far suggests not and I don’t see America changing their mind any time soon.

  5. Realistically peacekeeping forces, _especially_ from NATO countries can only function in Ukraine with Putin’s permission which is never going to happen.

  6. Starmer is a notorious liar.
    Beware of ANYTHING this snake says.

  7. By countries they mean “governments” not necessarily operating under the mandate of the people in the country. Like labour for example with only 8% of the vote.

  8. I don’t think we should rule out having to put boots on the ground to defend Canada.

    Nor fighting against US troops in Ukraine.

    Glad to see we’re not alone in the sentiment though.

  10. A the article suggests, the idea of what ‘help’ will consist of varies.

  11. Is Starmer advocating 20 countries go to war with Russia in Ukraine?

    Sounds like Blair all over again and Labour overdoing the patriotic dick-measuring against Conservatism.

    NATO feet on the ground in Ukraine is crossing Putin’s most fundamental issue with Ukraine’s geo-strategic trajectory.

  12. Romania here, you can count on us anytime. 🫡

    It’s time to have the proper “Cordon Sanitaire” as it should have been in ww2.

  13. Russia will never allow this, any peace deal that isn’t just a break that allows them to attack again in a few years time is off the table.

  14. I can’t make a single bit of sense as to what is actually being proposed here and I thought I was paying attention
