Yuri Fuckaboutski to change name to Foundoutski posthumously.

Despite the fact he decimated the UKs armed forces, cut tank order and jet orders meaning we don't have any equipment to send to Ukraine.

The guy is a self serving charlatan that has tied himself to this conflict only for the betterment of himself.

He blamed the initial invasion of Crimea in 2014 on the European Union, not Russia. It suited him to blame the EU then so he did

He is also circling the leadership in his party in case he fancies another go. If he pressures the PM to do something stupid and it blows up in his face, that is his ideal situation

Russia sugar dick takes a while to break the habit

+1 but I think "quick" is a bit of a wishful thinking term, quicker is perhaps more appropriate :)

Switzerland is maybe the only country you have heard about that is pressing charges, but you have similar laws in the UK and Germany for example.

And if you read the article, both sides are concerned, they talk about someone who went too help the "DPR/LPR".

My first point still stands, this has still nothing to do with Russian money

the Lada is I believe a more "first batch of soldiers perk", I've seen the rewards drop to "pack of sausages" or "a goat and a coat"...literally from Russian news sources.

It seems almost certain that some level of misuse has to be happening. On the other hand, the combat effectiveness of the Ukrainians puts an upper limit to the level of misuse, at a level which is probably acceptable.

You mean like a sudden spike in social media posts that encourages the idea that US citizens should consider seceding from the union?

Psyops like those? You mean exactly how that bullshit Brexit got sold to the British? That kind of shit?

Boris sure knows a thing or two about 'historic mistake's..

It has always amazed me that the anti-tax Republicans are seemingly so happy to pay for the US's outsized military budget. The US could get away with spending much less tax and debt on its military.

That said, military aid to Ukraine is a much better use of tax money than many other parts of military expenditure. For example, the nationbuilding in Iraq and Afghanistan were colossal wastes of money for little benefit, often without even a coherent achievable end goal or plan, yet I don't remember Republicans being very vocal about them.

Let me know the last time you had personal talks with your politicians, saw classified data and went to briefings about international relationships in your country.

Like that type of emu that went from discovered to extinct in 3 years

I suspect it was awful before the war as well. Rampant alcoholism etc similar to Russia

Ukraine as a whole would not gain anything by misuse. But individual corrupt officers or officials inside Ukraine could misuse aid for personal gain. Tragedy of the commons.

Nice whatabouttism at the end. Blinken has access to networks, classified data, personal contacts, he is on the frontline in these regards. Random Redditor only reads random headlines. Good try though.

Non-binding footgun and instead of engaging the safety and dropped the mag they switched to full auto. No good actors anywhere in that process.

So when your mom talks to you she must be offended? Wtf is even going on with your paranoid psychosis man.

They're not really as cool as cucumbers I bet, but there's not many people that miss them back home. They'll die as 'heroes'. Their leader will have a speach and that's it. That'll be enough for the families. And an added bonus: the Lada.

How about not just believing one of these two and asking the person to clarify and give sources or reasoning? Nah, et's just believe blinken because it's better than a random redditor. That's why I also take trump's word over random redditors, he was a president once after all.

Wasn't some Ukrainian politicans wife caught trying to smuggle 20+ million USD in cash out of the country shortly after the conflict started?

Pretty silly to pretend there isn't some level of corruption, they are human after all.

Doesn't mean we shouldn't continue sending aid.

Geez, who would I believe more on a geopolitical topic: a random Redditor or the US Secretarian of State

If I had the opportunity and you were within grabbing distance, I'd 100% toe punt you in the ovaries
