But they need to let them land to keep the MP’s with something to do and aircraft industry busy taking them to Rwanda and then the return flights. Are they still paying the aFrench to keep them in France. Just the same as the warmongers need to get making more weapons of mass destruction to increase the national dept. for the investors. The English are a rich and diverse culture who have money to squander and ‘ intellectual’ ( lol) Leaders/ royalty who tend to the poor.

So in other words Russia has demilitarised Ukraine and is well on the way to doing the same to Nato without huge amounts (100's billions) of additional deficit spending borrowing of Euro Atlantic member states govts (regimes) involved in the Ukraine War.

Yeah - doing what Europe wanted to do with NATO after the end of the Cold War but warmongering US/UK kept it going as part of the US military for obvious reasons. Are now squandering millions of taxpayers £ on weapons of mass destruction instead of improved infrastructure/ health care/ education etc.

And we're still driving on roads full of potholes here in the uk👍

Why? Starmer's brownshirts regularly say we are not spending enough.

A proper defence apparatus is not defined by spending/squandering money, a multitude of factors some of them much more important are relevant.

If we tell zelensky your not joining nato we could spend the money at home on our nhs instead of a usa proxy war

Of course they do, They have ‘sponsors’, consultancies etc. while in the job so they will have slightly more time on their hands if they get kicked out. They have at least 2 mortgages to keep going, and suddenly have to pay for goods/ services out of their own pocket. A hard life.

Scary.

No, it will not be enough. Indeed, even thinking like that is not going to reset Defence

How about the UK just minds it's own business and we don't have to worry about defense or war.
