1. You made your bed, now lie in it.

2. “Confession by Projection” *(Blaming others for your own Faults & Crimes)*

   eg. Ukraine is ruled by Nazi’s who criminally & violently oppress people.

3. They not only got spanked in the UN but also on the battlefield too. 

4. How a bout we throw in “A stitch in time saves nine” because it will cost a lot more later on in lives and money if the west doesn’t pile in now.

5. The kicking the can is exactly what is going to happen

6. Fuck around and find out.

7. “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”

8. If you sit too long on a fence without choosing sides, you end up with a pole in your ass.

9. Russia, proof that dog shit stinks.

10. Russian generals, constantly over-egging the pudding and talking poppycock about their botch job offensive, leaves Ukraine quids in and chock-a-block with dead Russians.

    The utter shambles that is Putin’s invasion gone pear-shaped, only demonstrates that he needs to wind his neck in from this bender before he pop his clogs.

    British enough for you?

11. That’s a Bingo! But seriously, ya nailed this one.

12. I would say a wolf in sheep’s clothing fits the 2nd example (3rd picture). A fair weather friend might relate to India or China who aren’t stabbing Ukraine in the back as much though they are helping Russia. They helped/ worked with Ukraine when it was convenient, but when the shit hit the fan (another idiom for ya) they chose to help themselves and not help Ukraine. Or maybe that doesn’t work either. Any ideas for a better fit for “a fair weather friend”?

13. How about “turning up five days late and a dollar short”?

14. To kick the can is USA.

15. Brilliant!
