The first batch of F-16s will be arriving in Ukraine in late September, and NATO secretary general Jens Stoltenberg said that the training of Ukrainian personnel has already started.

      Sure, but I’m not critiquing the Ukrainian people. I’m critiquing the west that is escalating a conflict that’s not theirs.

        Defending yourself is escalating the situation? What’s the alternative you are looking for that Russia will accept?

        Bullshit.

        Its russia that has escalated it, no, started -and- escalated it all. If you want the war to end, argue for the invader to fuck off.

        So we should push for Ukraine to be added to Nato and end the conflict all together. That’ll appease everyone right?
