UK ready 'to put boots on the ground, planes in the air' to back Ukraine peace deal, Starmer says
London is ready to send its troops to Ukraine to secure a "good deal" on ending Russia's full-scale war, U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer said at a press conference with U.S. President Donald Trump in the White House on Feb. 27.
God, I hope that's more than just rhetoric. Let the shock of the US's unforgivable betrayal lead to serious action from Europe.
If the UK and Europe all rally behind Ukraine as a massive fuck you to Trump, it would be absolutely magnificent.
Trump is an absolute embarrassment. How he treated Zelensky was beyond shameful.
So much of what is publicly known about the UK's intelligence capability (presumably military too) is tied up with the US. Based on this alone I'd bet that we (as in the UK) are simply not in any position to turn around and defy the US.
Remaining trapped in this position moving forwards is another matter. Europe has no choice but to develop capabilities that do not rely on the US. Only an idiot would think this is good for the US.
I mean you could have done this day one, but now is good too I guess
Imagine the UK getting access to a bunch of minerals that the US could have had, except Trump is the shittiest of negotiators. All he had to do was shut up, Ukraine was ready to make a deal.
Bro at the end of the day if Ukraine is integrated into EU, US capital would still get the lions share of the reconstruction.
Big man always gets paid first, that's just political economy 101.
Trump doing the circus hurt US more, since now every one is wondering...
damn daddy who is next to get the belt buckle for not sucking dick hard enough?
Hopefully they do
