EU defence summit: Leaders hold emergency meeting on support for Ukraine​


With the US looking to surrender Ukraine as quickly as possible, can the EU mobilize and ramp up military forces quickly enough to support Ukraine against Russia alone, without the US?

Macron should tone down his nuclear escalation rhetoric. - does nothing, just an attempt by him to chest thump.
Yes. With Britain taking the lead they can.
As they did during the Crimean war.
Notice the similarities with today's events - years of peace, Palestine, Ottoman Christians, Black Sea, Nicolas I, Napolean, you will notice, ....
 
Well, well, well ...

Someone is getting with the program:


With all of that being said, there was no reason for Putin to be shooting missiles into civilian areas, cities and towns, over the last few days. It makes me think that maybe he doesn’t want to stop the war, he’s just tapping me along, and has to be dealt with differently, through “Banking” or “Secondary Sanctions?” Too many people are dying!!!
 

Estonia closes border crossing: “Little green men” as been spotted in Crimea in 2014​


Saatse - There has been renewed tension with Russia on NATO's eastern flank. This apparently led to another provocation by Vladimir Putin's Moscow regime. Specifically, as The Kyiv Independent reports, Estonia was forced to close a border crossing in the southeast of the Baltic country on October 10 after seven armed men in uniforms without insignia were spotted there.

Comment: Such a play with fire has never ended well in the past.
