"We seem to be very near the bleak choice between war and shame. My feeling is that we shall choose #shame, and then have #war thrown in a little later on even more adverse terms than at present."
Sir Winston Churchill, 1938

The same could have been written about #NATO in 2025.

When will we learn?

#appeasement #cowardice #weakness

From a fascist russian perspective, the #US is approaching harvest season, with the election only a few weeks away.

Sadly, as it has become apparent that the #election is in itself a deterrent against effective #ForeignPolicy on countering #russia's invasion in #Europe, we should expect further escalation from the eastern orcs, now with reinforcements from #NorthKorea

This is a tragic state of affairs...

For anyone doubting that we in NATO desperately need Ukraine to join should realise that the only country in the world who has effectively been able to #StopRussianAggression and strike back (including incursions into russia) to deter that aggression is #Ukraine.

The #US won't do it for fear of nuclear Armageddon. #NATO members fear even shooting down incoming missiles and drones entering their territory and risk killing their own civilians.

#Iran supplies missiles to #russia, which russia uses to bomb targets in #Ukraine

Does that mean Iran is at war with Ukraine?
No.

#US #UK #France supply missiles to Ukraine to defend itself against russia's illegal invasion.

Would bombing military targets in russia mean US, UK and France would be at #war with russia?
Of course not.

End russia's licence to kill. #DropTheRedLines

According to the International Criminal Court, over 100,000 Ukrainian children have been kidnapped by Putin's military, then deported by the Russian military and sent to reeducation camps inside Russia. Estimates of up to 700,000 kids have been forcibly removed or deported from their homes. Russia's plan is to erase Ukrainian identity by creating orphans and kidnapping the children. This is genocide.

This is Oleksandr from Mariupol. Russian soldiers separated boy and his mother in filtration camp in March, 2022. He has not seen his mother since then. Every year on June 4th, the International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression acknowledges the pain that children around the world suffer. We must stop this terror now. World must hold Russia accountable for its actions.

Stop Putin's genocide of Ukrainians.
