Stop escalating the war mind your own business

Not my war, just my money going where I don't want it to go. Our UK government has just stripped winter fuel allowance from British pensioners to save £1.4 billion while they're pledging an unaudited £12.7 billion to Zelensky. They're working for the arms industry, not us. And maybe if NATO had held to its agreement with Gorbachev this wouldn't be happening.

And she couldn’t even get the right country in her statement, she said Iraq, then quickly changed it to Ukraine, how sad are the Americans

[draganbackovic]

Stop sending weapons the WAR WILL STOP

[divinenation]

NATO provoked it along with the Azov Banderaites.
Did you forget Russia was a nuclear power?

This is what Putin said
“This isn’t about allowing or banning the Kyiv regime from striking Russian territory. It does that already with drones and by other means.

"But when we talk about high-precision, long-range weapons made in the West this is a completely different matter... The Ukrainian army is not able to strike with modern, high-decision, long-range systems. It can’t do this. It is only possible with intelligence data from satellites that Ukraine doesn’t have, data that’s only from satellites of the European Union, the USA, Nato satellites."

"The key point, " he added, "is that only servicemen of Nato countries can input flight missions into these missile systems. Ukrainian servicemen cannot do this. Therefore this is not about permitting or not permitting the Ukrainian regime to strike Russia with these weapons.

"This is about whether or not NATO countries take the decision to directly participate in the military conflict.”

Strong words coming from the greatest war criminals in history

US led NATO has brought us to likely thermo-nuclear destruction. They just couldn't leave Russia alone could they, they persisted from 2014 onwards. Was it worth it ? God forgive the ones (both sides) who are complicit in this terrifying situation🙁

[sizenmass]

Wonder if these politicians will go and fight?

[NasirKhan-eezj]

But u sending bombs and tellung one side to hit the other isnt dangerous? Shut up.

[LeeEnfield-iwqk]

Step back guys East & West, none of us want to be dying on a radioactive planet.

But potentially supplying Ukrainine with western missiles is not incredibly dangerous 😂I find it hilarious that the "west"believes it can dictate terms to Russia for pursuing her national interests just like any other country would.

Can usa move all oversea military base today back to the USA?
The world would be a better place to live in.

"The great rule of conduct for us in regard to foreign nations is in extending our commercial relations, to have with them as little political connection as possible. So far as we have already formed engagements, let them be fulfilled with perfect good faith. Here let us stop. Our detached and distant situation invites and enables us to pursue a different course…" GW

I can just imagine her hammering on the nuclear shelter door shouting, “but I said what you wanted me to say, for Gods sake let me in !!! !”

[RobinPoole-hhbj]

No you're announcement about allowing Ukraine to use long range missiles is incredibly dangerous.Have you no shame ?

[paulwatson]

Putin's threats of war with NATO 'incredibly dangerous' NATO sending missiles into Russia not so much.

[trendybrowne]

I just can't imagine approval of missile sales by Russia to Mexico or Venezuela making any sense to Americans

[StinkingBishop]

Well stop escalating it by continuously supplying weapons!!!
