Funny that they always  seem to find money for war.

It is not "funny", a crisis either personal or national always brings about a response.

Indeed

Why, did they  put  that money pre-Ukraine into the NHS?

Funny that they always  seem to find money for war.

That money is currently frozen Russian assets and doesn't exist on the UK's balance book.

The loan will be created by making more national debt.

Eventually those frozen Russian assets will be sold and the proceeds given it to Ukraine, who will use it to pay back the loan.

The loan which is going to pay wages here will then be wiped off the national debt.


After all the pass the parcel has completed, everyone's face is clean - apart from whatever Russian oligarch owned the Russian assets.

Missles to be made in Belfast that the Brits are giving to Ukraine...

So Belfast will become a legitimate target to the Russians?.

Russia is engaging in an illegal war so there are zero 'legitimate targets' either here or in Ukraine.

Maybe they'll leave Ukraine and the money can be spent on the NHS.

I won't believe they are going to spend the money on the NHS unless I see a slogan on the side of a bus.

Never thought we'd effectively go to war without the US to back us.

Hopefully Trump sees sense soon enough.

We?

I certainly wouldn't be fighting on the Brits side would you?

Your enlistment age, we ain't,good luck! Lol

The UK claim to be against these sort of invasions yet they have statues of Cromwell in London.

I think in this case, anyone rational would back the side the Brits are on rather than the opposite.

So Trump has paused military aid! f**king dummy spat clean out by the leader of the free world, his legacy was always going to be shit but my god this man is one odious individual

Will he last his term before another few attempts are taken on his life?

Sinn Féin take a similar view to Trump about dumping the people of Ukraine

[Look-Up!]

Putin must be loving this. Trump playing poker for massive stakes with the cards facing up. But no one understands the game of poker better than him. Right?

[Dag Dog]

At this point, Ukraine should get on the phone to China, give them a biggly minerals deal in return for Chinese support.
The new axis would be USA-Russia vs. Europe-China.

Fingers crossed Belfast will get onto the bomb signing tour schedule. It's such a morally righteous thing to do these days

Or neither.
