It's as much nonsense as you stating that anyone who supports arming Ukraine supports Ukrainian people dying and backing the US supplying arms means you support Saudi Arabia.
Plus all other bullshit associations you make.
No your nonsense attempt to state I support nazi Germany was absurd
It doesn’t mean you support them but it shows a level of hypocrisy.It's as much nonsense as you stating that anyone who supports arming Ukraine supports Ukrainian people dying and backing the US supplying arms means you support Saudi Arabia.

I do wonder if the generals were around in the Vietnam war they’d be demanding we arm the Vietnamese army against the US
You can quite easily accuse the US and UK governments of hypocrisy for their stances on Ukraine and Saudi Arabia and I think everyone here would agree with you. I certainly would and I’ve not seen anyone else say anything to suggest they wouldn’t either.It doesn’t mean you support them but it shows a level of hypocrisy.
Oh so do you support Nazi Germany's actions during WW2 then. Cool.
But then on here people are saying if you don’t support our countries stance on perpetually arming Ukraine then you must therefore be a Russian enthusiast (rather than the actual point that posters are merely suggesting that there may have to be a solution involving peace talks)You can quite easily accuse the US and UK governments of hypocrisy for their stances on Ukraine and Saudi Arabia and I think everyone here would agree with you. I certainly would and I’ve not seen anyone else say anything to suggest they wouldn’t either.
But that’s not what you’re doing. You’re using 2 separate conflicts and suggesting that just because we support our countries stance on Ukraine we must support our countries stance on Saudi Arabia too as some sort of gotcha. That’s just totally dishonest.
No I don’t as Nazi Germany was a direct threat to us. A clear direct threat. It was a threat that would strangulate Europe and destroy our own way of living
I hate to break it to you but Mr Putin and his rag tag army aren’t invading Western Europe anytime soon
Spectacularly missing the point as per.
Erm, no I’m not. I’m pointing out the hypocrisy of supporting a regime that is likely worse than Putin and the fact there’s a lack of outrage or care about people being bombed.You can quite easily accuse the US and UK governments of hypocrisy for their stances on Ukraine and Saudi Arabia and I think everyone here would agree with you.

The UK happily supplies arms to them and has their leader or whatever he is over for a state visit soon.Who here is supporting Saudi Arabia?

1) That isn’t an actual point, it’s a pipe dream. There is zero prospect of having a negotiated piece with Putin. It’s for the birds. It didn’t work in 2014 when he annexed Crimea it won’t work again. What is it they say about doing the same things expecting different results?But then on here people are saying if you don’t support our countries stance on perpetually arming Ukraine then you must therefore be a Russian enthusiast (rather than the actual point that posters are merely suggesting that there may have to be a solution involving peace talks)
Are you not arguing the same point in reverse?
I’m outraged. You assumed I wasn’t in an attempted gotcha. I’ve pointed this out to you already.Erm, no I’m not. I’m pointing out the hypocrisy of supporting a regime that is likely worse than Putin and the fact there’s a lack of outrage or care about people being bombed.
Yeah, it’s quite a bizarre viewpoint.But then on here people are saying if you don’t support our countries stance on perpetually arming Ukraine then you must therefore be a Russian enthusiast (rather than the actual point that posters are merely suggesting that there may have to be a solution involving peace talks)

Peace talks involving Ukraine ceding territory are clearly unacceptable as it legitimises the invasion and would at best be a ceasefire ahead of another attack shortly after. Peace talks involving Russian withdrawal from all of the territory are somewhat different.But then on here people are saying if you don’t support our countries stance on perpetually arming Ukraine then you must therefore be a Russian enthusiast (rather than the actual point that posters are merely suggesting that there may have to be a solution involving peace talks)

Hey Sick Boy, do a forum search using Yemen as your search word. For the benefit of doubt you’ll see me do nothing other than condemning the sales of arms to Saudi Arabia on several different threads. There is another poster though who justifies it using excuses like “it secures British jobs” while brushing it off as “that’s life”. See if you can guess who that poster is. You might actually remember it because you labelled them (and rightly so) a hypocrite. I’ll give you another clue. It’s someone who agrees with your stance on the invasion of Ukraine not someone who disagrees with your stance.Yeah, it’s quite a bizarre viewpoint.
It will ultimately end up with the full conquest of Ukraine by a thousand cuts.Most wars have involved territory changing hands afterwards.

Peace talks would be between the 2 countries at conflict and they would decide on the terms.Peace talks involving Ukraine ceding territory are clearly unacceptable as it legitimises the invasion and would at best be a ceasefire ahead of another attack shortly after.

They already have. Putin is on the record saying that he doesn’t believe Ukraine has the right to exist and Ukraine has said it will not stop fighting until all its sovereign land is returned to them. You have your answer. The terms for both sides are already out in the open.Peace talks would be between the 2 countries at conflict and they would decide on the terms.
Is that gonna be the same in say another 2 years?They already have.

You have your answer. The terms for both sides are already out in the open.
Call me a horrible person but within the next 2 years I hope Putin “accidentally” falls out of a window and Russia fully withdraws its army.Is that gonna be the same in say another 2 years?
Probably.Is that gonna be the same in say another 2 years?
And what if the US pull the plug because there is an administration change? Where does that leave a country that can’t fight Russia on its own?Probably.
It will leave Putin able to conquer the country and commit whatever atrocities he likes. Then move on to claiming other non-NATO former USSR territories, namely Georgia and Moldova.And what if the US pull the plug because there is an administration change? Where does that leave a country that can’t fight Russia on its own?
It also doesn’t excuse or support Russia in any way whatsoever to discuss this.

Presumably you’re of the opinion that any future country that gets invaded should have the same level of support, no matter what continent they’re in?It will leave Putin able to conquer the country and commit whatever atrocities he likes.

Just letting a country disappear from the map while also handing him a big wedge of mainland Europe is incredibly, incredibly dangerous and it stuns me that people either don't or won't see that.
What's currently going on is the equivalent of Britain invading Ireland with everything it's got to get the gang back together again. Assuming you think there should be no consequences there in such a case?Presumably you’re of the opinion that any future country that gets invaded should have the same level of support, no matter what continent they’re in?
