ransomnote: I was able to confirm this communication is real; here's a link to the French government website. I doubt the globalists have ever been this desperate before in their lives.

Now that Biden is not present to bankroll NATO's attempt at regime change in Russia, the remaining chickens boldly proclaim they will now help Ukraine and DEMAND a role in the negotiations! HAHAHAHAHAHAH!
Really? My own country is in there but still...really?
Where have they been during the past three years?
They will get NO seat at the table. Considering what these countries did after WWI, if they show up, they should arrested and thrown in jail.
-SB
Y’all are welcome to go for it! Americans have aid fatigue, especially when it’s eaten up by graft.
They should have treated Trump better if they wanted a place at the table.
...they chose otherwise, now they get the scraps, if even that.
Everyone wanting a seat needs to take a stint at Chernobyl.
How about NO!
Exactly!!
That’s a hard pass, Euroweenie tools.
With a Q tip.
SHOW ME THE MONEY
How cute.
We should bring out the kids table.
There won’t be any difficulty getting agreement in negotiations that Ukraine should be sovereign.
An installed Russia-friendly government of senior Ukraine military officers will eliminate any chance of war restart.
This is what Trump wants them to do- grow a set.
The story of The Little Red Hen. None of these countries wanted to play a role when the $hit hit the fan, but now that the war is winding down, they want a piece of the peace pie.
Do they get to sit in the children’s section of the negotiations?
Seriously, I don’t see how Ukraine is going to get its old borders back.
I guess the latest UK leaders forgot Churchill’s concept of war. Fight hard, fight fast, make your objectives and minimize damage. Pyrrhic victories are the most terrible of outcomes.
Well, let’s see now. I assume from your user-name your country is the UK. It has aided Ukraine fairly strongly considering its minimal* weapons stocks, and it has always made at least the 2% of GDP defense spending target.
*Somewhat understandable - the UK’s defense spending somewhat naturally tends toward assets not particularly useful in a grinding land war.
That said, the UK really should be at at least 2.5% now.
Germany and France breeched the 2% target last year, with Germany having come the furthest, so, I’ll give all 3 a “C”.
Poland has been spectacular, they get an “A”.
Italy and Spain have been real slackers, especially Spain, though I respect Italy’s weapons’ tech more: It’d be quite helpful if Meloni got on the stick, so to speak, and put real money where her mouth is.
Not included in this statement are the Finns, the Swedes, the Danes, the Norwegians, and the Baltics, all of whom get B’s or A’s for support so far. Their individual economies and populations are not large, but their cumulative capabilities can be useful, and the border of the Baltics and esp. Finland with Russia are significant factors. Are they “all in”? Put pen to paper, baby, then get the 2025 targets stated and ramp ups going.
One note: The Euro’s really have to stay “tight” on this and get the job done. If not, it (a fractured Europe) would be the most dangerous development in Europe since the 1930’s. Likely more so, as nukes are fairly easily attainable for any of the medium size countries, when things get dicey.
Since we've already united with Russia, let's drop out of NATO and resume mutually beneficial trade with the Russians.
Who is this "we" you speak of? Do you have a mouse in your pocket, Kazan?
This is a win/win for Trump and the US. Either the war ends right away, or Europe will take over as the primary backers and the US is out of it.
Have at it....all. we should walk away. Europe’s wars for Europeans.
