One really has to consider why the UK and EU are funding Ukraine so much money when our armed forces are deprived of funding.

The UK has committed over £21 billion in total support to Ukraine since February 2022, including roughly £13 billion in military assistance and over £5 billion in non-military, humanitarian, and economic aid. The UK has pledged to provide £3 billion in military support annually until 2030/31 and is a key partner in supplying weapons, training, and financial guarantees.
Moreover, now that the whole existence of NATO is up for debate and penalties from the orange baby, Ukraine must really be scratching her consititutional arse as to why they wanted to join NATO so much and crossed Russia's red lines???

Absolute freaking madness from the US, the West and Ukraine. We are led by baffoons.

Europe without Russia is a lame, over inflated wannabee old imperial small countries bound together by a common market for efficiencies. There is no idealistic unity bounding people. Whether by religion, territory or national identity of any kind.

They may form an army by putting up money and supplying weapons but without the heart and mind of the soldier who's prepared to die for their country, wealth, money and funding means nothing. Hence, Ukraine buying soldiers from Colombia and other Latin countries means jack shit.

After almost 5 years, what have Ukraine or Europe achieved. High inflation, loss of Russian oil supplies and cheap gas, plus investments from the oligarchs. Why?

The narrative, Russia is expanding and has plans for the rest of Europe is tosh.

Because Ukraine wanted to join NATO and Russia said enough is enough with this NATO expansion.

Zelensky is a US tool.
