Russia & Ukraine

With 155 billion GDP that commitment means nothing in the context of your statement of having Europe's 2nd best military.


Actually, my statement was as follows:

Ukraine was considered to have the second most powerful military force on the European continent, behind Russia, of course.

Regardless, it sounds like we are on the same page on the big picture: Putin deservedly fucked himself invading Ukraine but he is a potent adversary against NATO.

Am I correct on that?
 
And we have a green light.

Ukraine conflict: Liz Truss backs people from UK who want to fight

Foreign Secretary Liz Truss has said she supports individuals from the UK who might want to go to Ukraine to join an international force to fight.

She told the BBC it was up to people to make their own decisions, but argued it was a battle "for democracy".

She said Ukrainians were fighting for freedom, "not just for Ukraine but for the whole of Europe".

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky has urged foreign nationals "to join the defence of security in Europe".
 
Yes, raw dollar spending is the best measure of strength.....No way could Ukraine spend 30% of their production on military to keep


Indeed,which is why it made no sense to aid the argument that Ukraine had Europe's 2nd best military.No need to do that just to be against me.
 
I have to read your posts.I stopped reading after you said Ukraine had the second most powerful military force on the European continent.In opinion based on that foundation isn't worth reading.

I respect your posts and opinions. In general. It seems you are over emphasizing a point that is still reasonably debatable, without providing further support or clarification for your position.

Anyway, I’m off to prepare for the open of Sunday’s session. Have a calendar spread that will be happy with a down open but a diagonal spread that would be stressed below 4240 on ES.

Happy debating with you.

Good night.
