SKY News: UK not an Amazon delivery service for weapons to Ukraine, says defence secretary Ben Wallace
The minister said "whether we like it or not people want to see gratitude" for weapons sent to Ukraine, adding that Kyiv needs to "persuade doubting politicians in other countries that you know that it's worth it".

Little tyrant zelensky will be killed before he tells the world the deals he made with the west to fight on their behalf. That loser is not a legit leader of Ukraine and had only served to destroy the country beyond the ability to repair.

DeleteThe British defense minister is a dick.
ReplyDeleteYou do not send reinforcements in dribs and drabs, penny ante or otherwise. To do so is stupid. It increases chances of failure. It is wasteful of lives. It is immoral.
