It’s not a centuries old conflict. That is what Putin wants people to believe. Yeltsin signed an agreement in the 1990s - no conflict then.

[charlieenglish]

Europe as a whole should set aside their differences to combat this because Putin does not care for us and USA is now breaking off from us

Caller has all the hallmarks of the guy down the pub who talks for hours, sounds intelligent, but actually says absolutely nothing

[ramkedoodle]

Its like he tried to make 3 different points but his brain ended up lost in a mcdonalds drive through

Finland joined NATO and increased the border with Russia by 1300km. Russia: NOTHING.

[robinabner]

Do not be afraid. Stand up to Putin and America. Europe has fought many battles throughout history. As an American and never Trump, I'll stand with Europe and Ukraine.

Like a similar comment I read, I’m absolutely not a JOB fan but this indeed is not right v left, woke, etc etc. this is between democracy and autocracy, west v east. We cannot allow Russia to win

[MarioPiro]

here's the winner of the contest 'how much Russian propaganda you can regurgitate in one go'.

Didn’t understand the orange revolution when it all happened in the 2000’s. But I do remember being shocked at the before and after pictures of Victor Yuschenko. Putin was tampering in Ukraine all the way back.

5D chess means losing your face against the neighbour you are trying to take over, losing hundreds of thousands of men, land, weaponry, going cap in hand to Syrian rebels and North Korea for soldiers?

Had me fooled to be fair

[freddiejohames]

this is the first time i have agreed with james o brien, this isnt an issue of left v right its an issue of west v east

[gerrabath]

Comments invaded by rusky bots? Surely not.

[Juan-xqr]

The things changed a lot from 6 years ago and UK leaved the EU. Now WE are together again even without the EU menbresy. Im from Spain. We could talk about reintegration in EU in the future.
Now WE are in troubles and we need to stand together and fight when is needed

[bluecheese]

Russians fought for 3 years in a high intensity war and we still have idiots saying they are inexperienced. We are inexperienced

[MrVille]

I fully disagree, otherwise they would have taken Ukraine long time ago.

[duggiebader]

We have a big problem folks. Reform work for Trump and he's in cahoots with Putin.
Reform voters have learnt nothing since Brexit.

We had all better be ready for a struggle that will define our era. So turn off Love Island and talk to those whom you feel are drifting towards MAGA.

[steigerbower]

He lived in The Ukraine for two weeks and he knows Putin personally, some guy

[Danfrank]

Can I just say, although many ill informed people will disagree, as a nation the UK would be capable of defeating Russia as they stand now. We may have become dependent upon other nations for some things but we have a small but skilled military force and Russia is depleted. We need not worry about them being a threat to us right now. What we shouldn’t do it allow our forces to become weaker we need to spend more now to defer future attacks. We’re too busy arguing amongst our selfs what differences we have are futile Britain is Britain and regardless of colour or creed we should unite in defending the island upon which we all live.

Only those who don't have common sense can't see double standards
