Justwise, remember our days on spousal visa thread.....

Many banned applicants, strolled back into the UK, before their expiration of their bans.....

Home office, would only delay, but cannot deny...... 😂

They can do both and at the end marriage suffers, how long do you think a couple to live apart while waiting endlessly for HO decision?

Many of these cases end in marriage separation

Mad people. Musk shows up in a Tshirt, jeans and a cap at a so-called Cabinet meeting and no planted journalist asks him why he isn't wearing a suit.

That’s the original President na, who born monkey?

He was as the attack was coming from the two morons and the press, Trump and his bootlicker planned it before meeting got started. Vance wanted to show dad Trump that he loves and care for his ego hence the provocation

Exactly it was a planned work, those folks in the Oval Office were never ready for any peace. They just want to loot and make cool cash while Ukraine can burn for all they care.

If I was Zelensky.

I would come to Lancaster house tomorow. Look Starmer, Meloni, Macron, Ursula (or their representatives) in the eye and say:

Ukraine was invaded by Russia because Ukraine & Ukrainians wanted Western-style democracy (and possible NATO membership). If not for you (and the Yakees), Ukraine would have fallen 3 years ago. Right now, you have just 1 choice. Either stand and defend Ukraine, or Ukraine will surrender and work closely with Russia.

Thank you very much.

And the Russia vs Ukraine war ends. Who loses?

Russian is winning this war unless we want a World war 3 which the US isn’t ready for. Plus I think we are only assuming Putin would go for Poland. He didn’t go for Ukraine until they said they wanted to join NATO and we know the Ukrainians and Russians are brothers.
justwise:


Sadly if Ukraine is not supported by Europe and Russia wins this war then you will pay even more tax in all sorts of ways. Energy bills alone will go out of control. Russia will not stop there, Poland and many other countries will be next. UK will be forced to take even more people running away from those wars.

In all this Ukraine/US commotion, Trump is saying the truth even though he should have been more diplomatic about it especially on tv.

Despite the billions been sent to Ukraine which is straining the budgets of many of this countries sending aid, Half of Ukraine have been taken over and many lives lost.

Ukraine can’t win the war except NATO countries get fully involved which is an auto call to World war 3. No country wants that except Ukraine who is too focused on winning the war at the detriment of the world.

My best suggestions is for Ukraine to get the ceasefire and then re-strategise of the way forward to reclaim back their land.

US is the big brother with the resources, if you can’t lick ass then go find another big brother. That is the reality of life.

America under Trump is MAGA which is by only doing what benefits only the US. It’s all about business for Trump. No loyalty 🤣

The minister resigned because the cut is from her office but the cut is for a good reason, UK can not be sending aid to the rest of the world while the money is needed for defence back home. Aid to Africa to me is a waste. That resource is hardly going into the intended purpose.

The UK need to stop bending over to America and form a closer bond with EU until that confused human being in the white house lives.
America under Trump is a walking time bomb, he is unstable, irrational, reckless and untrustworthy. Don't expect anything substantial from a convicted criminal.

Baby Trump and his supporters are cowards and ignorant. In Trump's little mind, he thinks by bending the knee to Putin, then Putin will spare US interests from harm when he has the opportunity to inflict them.
Putin is far wiser than Trump, he knows America is not an ally but will use Trump to their advantage. Putin will choose China over the US irrespective of Trump's delusions.
Right now, the FBI is now afraid to touch anything that relates Russia cos of fear of Baby Trump. This means Russia now have the opportunity to penetrate America.

How self-sufficient is the US? A country that is highly subsidized by the rest of the world is it not the minerals that Trump is after? The US will soon find out it doesn't even hold all the aces. That's how the UK thought it was self-sufficient until Brexit happened- just let the US continue in their folly.

This is inaccurate.

Russia invaded Crimea, a former part of Ukraine, in 2014 and annexed it. It had nothing to do with NATO. The west stood by and did nothing. Years later and Russia has come back for more.

Russia also invaded Georgia in 2008 and will no doubt be back for more.

Poland is relatively safe because of its NATO membership. Sweden and Finland were previously neutral but have since joined NATO after Russia invaded Ukraine.

Any eastern European country that is not already in NATO is very much fair game in Putin's imperial ambitions.

Reading your post few things comes to mind....

Is either you are not a student of history..or

You don't have much life experiences..or

You are just trolling...

American overthrown Saddam Hussein, control pretty much all aspect of Iraq for yrs but today where is American in Iraq?

American pushed Taliban out of main cities of Afghanistan, invested billions of $$$$, put in place their preferred president, occupied Afghanistan for more than 15yrs and today how far?

Bashar al-Assad with the help of Russia, killed, displaced and pushed the rebels out of main Syrian cities and today how far?

If you think that Russia will win the war and take over Ukraine and peace will reigns then you are on a hard substance.

What made the US powerful is that the west collectively accepted her leadership. This is why effort to dethrone the dollar spearheaded by this same Russia and China hasn't succeeded. The dollar will be gone once the west decides to switch away from it and I can see it happening very soon.

Agreed. Russia is no real friend, ask Assad who enjoyed Putin's support until it was no longer expedient to him.

There are reports that China's and Russia's intelligence agencies are stealthily recruiting US Federal employees who have recently been fired or at risk. No doubt looking to leverage on their disgruntlement with Trump's adminstration. Soviet spies loading....

To the bolded, Ukraine actually had nuclear weapons but in 1994 it signed up to a treaty with Russia and the West (including the US) to transfer these weapons to Russia in exchange for security assurances to respect its independence and sovereignty. A few years later, Russia, who was one of the parties in the agreement, invaded Ukraine and hasn't stopped.

Ukraine giving up its nuke was a catastrophic mistake and this is why I think North Korea will never ever give up it nukes and Iran will surely secretly acquire it's own nukes. I will support any country that wants nukes to get it, it levels the playing field

Agreed, North Korea will never. It has given 12000 soldiers to Russia, 3000 of whom have already been killed, and is sending more troops. Its military spending is huge for such a poor country.

Iran's nuclear program was under control until Biden loosened sanctions on them and they had more financial capital to fund it. They need a very firm hand on them to stop, or at least slow down, its expansion. I'm not a fan of Iran becoming a nuclear power.

Let’s agreed on what Russian did but the claim that the WEST are suppose to do something is hilarious. Hasn’t the WEST been doing the same thing indirectly with other countries. The WEST aren’t in the best position to be moral judges. Tbh, we need to accept the new world we are now. The Powerful would oppress the Weak. Let everyone harm themselves up to be powerful so as to be respected which is what India has been doing. A recent example is Netanyahu . What has the WEST done to him? 🙄
