  1. Packed with useful information as is usual with Col. Phil.
    But the final segment really annoyed me, not because he was wrong, but because he was right, in the sense that he accurately represented the Biden doctrine and that of all Ukraine’s allies. (Not the U.S. obviously, that is now little more than a putler client).

    The Biden doctrine:
    1/ we pretend the Budapest Memorandum doesn’t exist
    2/ we will help you defend yourselves but never provide enough to defeat the enemy
    3/ we refuse to engage with the enemy because his doctrine says he will nuke us and we don’t want that!

    Phil is right about Nato too. It is structured so that Ukraine can never join. Furthermore it is filled with cuntz who will never accept Ukraine : France, Germany, Slovakia, Hungary, the U.S. since Biden and probably many more.
    We know only that the U.K. wants Ukraine as a Nato member, as do the Scandies, the Balts and; who else? I don’t know. Maybe Holland?
