Who seriously believes that countries just write a cheque and give it to Kyiv saying, “spend it on what you want” 
“Here’s a cheque, payable to ‘UK Armaments Only’. Now, which of our weapons do you want to buy with it, and how are you going to repay us?” 
That’s not really the issue for me. Leaving aside the fact it didn’t all start in 2022, it’s the money paid and promised on what was clearly a lost cause from the start.
It’s true what Tony Benn said about always being able to find money to kill people, but there’s never enough money to feed people.
Sure, not all of that dosh went to Ukraine as cash. I suspect a lot of people just used the opportunity to either get rid of old gear or field test the newer stuff in actual combat conditions.
But thirteen billion is a lot of money. Especially just to spunk it down the Ukraine.
It’s a solid position to take.
And will become more central in the days/weeks to come.
Equally, others dipped ygeir fingers in the trough, and Moldova, Georgia & the Baltic States will follow.
Poland has spent a lot of money buying stuff that actually works rather than dishing out R&D contracts to The Drpendants of Plessey Marconi, GEC, BA etal.
Putin won’t stop. Trump doesnt give a shit, won’t be his problem.
Strangely, today I see from Trump supporters on social media the Ukraine flag with the message “FUCK UKRAINE”
These thick necked right wingers don’t seem to see the dichotomy. If you’re writing “fuck Ukraine” you must be loving Russia’s communists. How does that work for them?
They might argue that they hate the Ruskies alot but not enough to spend all that money on fighting them… despite that 18bn going to US arms manufacturing… who support the right wing politicians… A complex web of scum and villainy, and contradiction
Gosh
I just looked at the For You feed on Twitter instead of Following
