>It’s hard for the Europeans to have a joint military operation there, because Article 11 of the Moldovan constitution explicitly states that “The Republic of Moldova will not admit the stationing of any foreign military troops on its territory”.

what about allowing the russians to keep an army in transnistria? i think that happened before they claim to break away.. but transnistria is still Moldovia. so in that sense, the EU can still support Moldovia regardless of Article 11...

How nice of you to begin an argument in bad faith by immediately deleting before a reply can be posted. You coward.

Ukraine has at least made an effort to fight corruption in that time. https://www.npr.org/2023/01/27/1151326940/ukraine-anti-corruption-efforts

But nah, let it get invaded by an even more corrupt neighbour like Russia (a country ran by an autocrat surrounded by billionaires that snatched the entire wealth of the nation in the 90s).

(Psst. Russia ranks way below Ukraine on this).

He decimated the UK armed forces? Boy is it obvious how young some of these commenters are.

Iraq war?

All the equipment that has already been sent? Doesn't count?

Can you honestly not separate your hatred for someone, even when what they are doing is right? You don't have to like him but you have to recognise correct decisions when they are made.

He knows full well the UK can't send any. He's an idiot try to play to the crowd. It doesn't have any it can send and if it did, it would need permission from several other countries to do so. It's not going to give is tranche 1 Eurofighters away which are the next up to be retired. All the Tornados are scrapped. Harriers are now owned by the USMC. Jaguars are scrapped. Hawk t1s would be useless.
