  1. As he says: why is the US navy and the Royal Navy shooting down Houthi missies in the Red Sea, but not shooting down putinaZi missiles in the Black Sea and over Ukrainian airspace?
    France and Germany should stop hiding behind Ukraine’s non-Nato membership as an excuse for inaction: it was them who kept them out! Macron should double down on his
    If Hungary is attacked, the US is in the farcical situation of being required to defend a fascist dictatorship, yet still won’t help Ukraine.
    Macron should resist the rumoured calls from the US not to put troops in Ukraine. He can make himself a hero simply for doing the right thing.

    • Right, Scradge, very good point by Hodges. Why support Israel, not a Nato member, but not Ukraine? Western countries should send warships into the Black Sea, too, to safeguard international shipping there. Under international law, that’s allowed for military excercises up to 14 days, afaik. 14 days is also a typical time of endurance until warships need resupplying (in Greece or Italy, I suggest). Two Nato flotillas, taking turns in the Black Sea, would make that theatre very uncomfortable for Russian submarines and naval aviation there, I’m sure. 🤨

  2. This is an age-old problem, that NATO and the West in general is acting much too weakly. Many still haven’t comprehended the fact that weakness is what encourages mafia land. Mafia land always sows threats and then feeds on the fear that it reaped. If for once we would show strength and demonstrate determination, this would go a very long way to make the fascist rat to cower for once.
    And, I must admit something that I myself cannot comprehend, and this is the question, why can’t the West take an example and emulate Ukraine’s colossal and monumental courage and steadfastness? They still prefer to go the way of a pessimistic mouse.

  3. I don”t have anything more to say, however, is there ANY politician who can explain the different treatments. All I’ve heard when the question is asked, is political balderdash (i.e. Bullshit) or crickets. Someone needs to answer for the disparity. IMO
