The other extends influence through dropping cluster bombs on civilians. Toughie this. The USA also drops cluster bombs on civilians M8. Ukraine has been at civil war for 8 years and the Ukranian government have killed thousands of civilians via shelling. It's a shit world.

Newbornbairn Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 And as for the theory put forward by some that it's ok for a country larger both economically and militarily to dominate it's neighbours and they should just accept their fate - does that apply to Israel? Or England? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby then lightens the mood by calling Winston a fanny. Tam makes a disparaging remark about him being too tight fisted to pay for a round. [beat] Everyone shoots him dirty looks. Cue laugh track. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On your 2nd point, I assume you would be in favour of the full range of extensive sanctions currently imposed on Russia also being imposed on Israel ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jedi Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Spot on article about the UK in the worst time to be outside a rejuvenated EU. Will Labour have the bravery to call this out before the GE, and make a case for a much closer relationship? 3 blocks formed up now, USA, China/Russia, and the EU. Much better to be a part of, and inside the latter in these times, on everything from trade, energy, defence, sanctions calls, refugees, and economics: https://www.newstatesman.com/comment/2022/03/the-ukraine-war-has-invalidated-brexit 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you seriously suggesting Keir Starmer should start engaging in Brexit vs EU type debates? That is so wild and a sure fire way to avoid getting elected into government. That article was absolute brain rot, did have a chuckle when I noticed the author though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Zelensky has said Ukraine has lost 1,300 soldiers in the war. He's also said that he would be willing to travel to Jerusalem for a meeting with Putin, chaired by Israeli Prime Minister Bennett. I can't get over the Prime Minister of Israel is called "Bennett". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On your first point, you seem unable to differentiate between what is almost definitely going to happen (non intervention) and people's willingness to question whether there are circumstances where intervention may be required. On your second point, I would be happy with that. Once again though I realise that it is never going to happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
