I don’t think that Russia has much to fear from the UK 🤷♂️

In contrast with Estonia, Belgium is relatively far from Russia. I dare say that they like profiting from doing business with criminal regimes whilst protected behind frontline states.
Bart De Wever appears to be driven by greed, not fear.

Foolish men not voting for a woman, foolish racists not voting for a black candidate or anyone connected with helping Jews defend themselves.
Clearly foreign influence voter suppression works.

Ah! That explains why, in 2022, Putin ordered the digitisation of the register. I have no idea how that is going.

The mistake Putin made with the original “partial mobilisation” was that anybody could have been called up, it was a lottery, causing widespread concern.
If (whenever) he does it again, I expect that it will be targeted towards a certain demographic, and those outside the demographic will relax? 🤷♂️

Of course Trump is a bloody shower, but sadly Biden’s weakness left Western democracy dependent upon the whims of a certifiable loon.
Sanctions weren’t worthless but, like military support, insufficient.

It is more complicated, and it isn’t.
Putin has the meat, but currently not the machinery. That is why he wants Trump to hand him swathes of Ukraine and lift economic sanctions, to rebuild resources before continuing.
A second mobilisation wouldn’t be popular, but he’d do it if needed.

I think the UKGreens made a bum choice there. I assess Polanski as a man who will say whatever thinks will serve him best.

I don’t trust Farage either, but at least he has publicly had a Damascus moment WRT Ukraine.

Polanski is a Tankie clown who is anti NATO and quiet on Russian aggression against Ukraine, like Trump he wants to do a deal with Russia
His claim that he would talk Putin into relinquishing nukes is as absurd as his claim that he can enhance breasts through hypnotism.

You seem surprised, but I sn’t Bart De Wever simply voicing out loud what has been common thinking of Western leaders from 2014? (Or even 1994 when it disarmed Ukraine?)

I am a great fan of Kaja Kallas, but not so keen on the photographer who took that photo that makes it look like she has a “thought bubble”.

Some have fallen into the trap of thinking that Putin wants some territory, and that by giving him the Donbas, he will be satisfied and stop his aggression.
That isn’t the case, Putin seeks to destroy the liberal world order that serves as an alternative to kleptocracy (starting with Ukraine).

Putin isn’t interested in territory.
Putin is interested in eliminating the sovereignty of Ukraine. Absorbing it completely or leaving it an impoverished vassal state to Russia.

That rather simplifies the issue.
The truth is that Putin doesn’t have a problem with Zelenskyy, he has a problem with an independent Ukraine.

The US benefited most from Pax Americana, just as the British benefited most from Pax Britannica.
It took 250 years for the Roman Empire to end, 50 years for the British Empire, it looks like America will achieve the same decline in two Presidential terms!
