@BluismycatWard@Rusia_HD I lived through the Cold War, despite your Trumpian capitals & remember the Wall.
I didn’t compare today’s Russia to the USSR. I refer to the old Russian Empire where Ukraine was a resource.
Putin sees himself as a latter day Tsar.
Read about the Holodomor to better understand.
@BluismycatWard@Rusia_HD Look at Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Their brush-fire wars to destabilise Georgia (for USA viewers, the E European country, not the US state) and other actions.
The USSR is gone but Putin is trying to re-establish the Russian Empire.
NATO is needed more than ever.
@CommonSenseMed2@DavdCollins@GBC_Press Don’t let the door hit you on the arse as you leave.
USA hasn’t ever come to NATO’s aid. NATO countries went into Iraq to assist the USA. And lost soldiers there.
Allies need to be consistent. Your president’s on-and-off-again behaviour makes USA untrustworthy.
@DavdCollins@GBC_Press NATO = North Atlantic Treaty Organisation. An organisation, by definition, involves more than one member. The NATO treaty is between 32 countries. If Europe (30 countries) pulled out, Canada would likely follow. USA would effectively have pulled out of NATO and be on its own.
@AHenderson74780@TessWhiteUK@Erudite4Unity I’m Scottish and have paid taxes all my working life. A portion of those taxes pays for her wages (and that of the other MPs). I don’t have a problem with her expressing her views and opinions.
The right are always in favour of free speech, as long as it’s the right freespeech.

Police Records:
In 2024, police in England recorded over 71,000 rapes, meaning an incident is officially logged roughly every seven minutes.
Every 7 minutes!!
@SteveTheD6CEO@Her_Nonymous_D Don’t be a fool. Read the post. He didn’t give it to the parent. He tried to give it to the child.
You never give a gift directly to a child you don’t know. You give it to the parent for the child.
That is especially true of food.
@EricLDaugh@Cashloren The only country to invoke article 5 of the Treaty was the USA. Europe supported the USA in Iraq and lost over 1,000 members of the armed forces.
When the chips are down and Europe is threatened in Ukraine, the USA can’t be trusted.
It’s all take and no give with the USA.
@Viperino97@EricLDaugh The only country to invoke article 5 of the NATO treaty was the USA. Europe came to the USA’s aid. Over 1000 died supporting you.
WW1 started in 1914. You joined in 1917 when Germany sank one of your ships.
WW2 started in 1939. You joined in December 1941 after Pearl Harbour.
