Europe has no nukes, these pacifists...
France & Britain has 'em pointed at Putins head at all times...
Your russia has no nukes, but has Putin and nuclear bunkers
The trouble with Ukraine getting into NATO is that several hostile countries have a veto: Hungary, Slovakia and the USA (or Russia's friend, as it is now). I think the Coalition of the Willing needs to be formalised as the Anti-Authoritarian Pact.
Ukraine's security is Europe's safety. The list of guarantors should absolutely be limited to Europe because it should be limited to guarantors that will actually be compelled to "guarant". The most important task is to recognize that the USA won't help. Including the USA means no guarantee at all.
A wide range of guarantor states is a fake good idea. It sounds good. But it's not good. It's just a way of generating the geopolitical bystander effect that we've seen too much already. "There are others who are in a better position, no need for me to intervene..." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bystand...
Security guarantees are bullshit. Give nukes to Ukraine or let them join NATO. Other than that it's pointless!
Do any of these politicians actually read the NATO articles?
They had guarantees when they gave up nuclear. What kind of world do we live in to let a country down so very badly.
The only guarantees in the Budapest Memorandum were that the signatories wouldn't attack Ukraine. If one did, the others would "consult" about it.
The most important task is to include the United States in it. In total, according to the Foreign Minister, about 30 states have agreed to support Ukraine, including Japan.
Maybe. But I wouldnβt trust the US any more. And anyway, isnβt Trump Putinβs pal now?
We need their intel and an occasional flyover, should the shit hit the fan again.
You are right. People forget that a lot of European military force is depending on the US (and probably will be in the future) So let's use them. One day also Trump will be gone and then things will change again.
Oh, and we buy their ammo and guns. Right? And interceptors, too.
You are ruski β
Ukraine needs no security guarantees. It needs weapons and a NATO membership or European armies in Ukraine. But not after a delusional peace deal that will never be realized.
There is no point in a peace deal. A deal would effectively reward the aggressor. Other would-be aggressors would take note and act accordingly.
With the current inhabitant of the WH and his bunch of cronies security guarantees are not a given. It would perhaps be wiser to proceed without the US at this time. Having to rely on a US President who is as we all know, a long time Russian asset would be unwise.
Fuck the American trash people itβs time to isolate America and Russia
Performative politics. Everybody is lining up to provide security guarantees that Russia will never tolerate other than through their military defeat or economic collapse. Send weapons, not empty pledges.
We can include the US when the Russian agent leaves the White House
Hegseth is Putin's man.He has restricted Ukraine from using bought and paid for weapons to fight Russia fairly. Most Americans want Ukraine to be free and safe. They didn't want putin's pick to make Ukrainians die, lose this war and the right for their children to live.Time they let Trump know this.
Define "GUARANTOR" and "SECURITY GUARANTEES" if you please, sir.
The big problem is that the US is an ally of Russia and China, and an enemy of Europe Trump-Putin are planning to militarily attack Europe under the guise of NATO as soon as Ukraine capitulates within the next six months = says JD Vance
