Sky News: Reports " Ukraine: UK will stand 'shoulder to shoulder' with Kyiv but 'extremely unlikely' to send troops, deputy PM Dominic Raab says...Russian troops are mounting on the Ukraine border and the Foreign Office has accused Moscow of plotting to install a puppet leader in Kyiv. Ukraine's ambassador to the UK has vowed to "fight to the death". "
Lets Get Real:
The Ukraine is not part of NATO, so Article 5 does not come in to force, an attack on one is an attack on ALL. On the other hand, Putin has to be stopped, it can be argued that Putin ha set up the board for a full invasion of the Ukraine, as above reports the FCO thinks that the Kremlin has a stooge Government in waiting to take over if the Russians go to Kiev. Thus what would STOP him in his tracks, make him withdraw, it would be if the US and the UK placed forces on the border, and stated, cross this line, then that's it, TOTAL WAR, that would stop Putin and could even lead to his overthrow, the problems is that BIDEN does not have the guts and the UK PM has party gate, thus both are in a WEAK spot, they do not have the confidence of their people, thus one can expect some appeasing strategy to come out of Biden and the West, the people that will suffer will be the poor people of the Ukraine, just as the Czechs suffered in 1938/39. Why do our leaders never LEARN.
