“Starmer is on the right path..”. Yes, he is. Simply because Russia’s crumbling, Texas-size economy can’t take on the entire E.U. A midget can’t topple a giant. I just wish Europe would wake up to that fact.
The final blow would be to send an E.U. multi-national Foreign Legion to specifically fight North Korean troops in Europe. It can include South Korean volunteers if South Korea is willing to allow it.
You don’t want to establish this precedent: bringing Asian, Arab or African mercenary armies to Europe to fight in Europe for any European country — Putin’s Russia, a kleptocratic fascist dictatorship, especially. So, specifically target the North Korean mercenary army units for attack. Why? To destroy them. And any that follow. Until they don’t.
Self-defense. Simple self-defense. And make it clear to Putin and Xi Jinping that it’s intolerable and won’t be tolerated.
The overseas empires (France, Belgium, Britain) brought in colonial troops. But it was over a century ago. Today, the great 19th century European colonial powers are gone. They were monarchies terminated by popular uprisings. Their overseas colonies are now independent nations.
Was colonialism a bad thing? On balance? Yes, I think so. Very bad. But it was ended around the time I was born, so the problem of ending it really was my grandfather’s and father’s.
Now, it’s ancient history. It should’nt be reintroduced in reverse.
I appreciate the explanation of priorities for Ukraine and how the sanctions are working. This is a global chess game and all the pieces have multiple uses to bring down the king, who doesn’t care about his pawns.
YEP, tie orcs in knots is good! But thereafter continually kicking them in the nuts is really nice too.

Pretty sure there are loads of historical precedents for Asian, Arab or African mercenaries fighting in Europe. IIRC it rarely ends well... 👀
Sure. A century ago. During World War I.

Well done Mr Starmer and Great Britain. I like the Anaconda approach.
Why 135?
“all it takes is for the ruble to crash past 135 against the dollar.“
