Putin's 'genocidal war crimes' in Ukraine evidence that Starmer must increase UK defence spending
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лип 2024
- "I am afraid 2.5% of GDP won't be enough - the UK's military needs a massive splurge of cash to be able to fight a war."
A "fundamental shift" in thinking needs to occur towards defence spending if the UK can feel confident in combating a "disgusting", militaristic Russia, says general Sir Richard Shirreff.

If that is Genocide, what definition do we use to describe what Israel is doing to Gaza?
Oh gee, I dunno, why not ask that in a video discussing the war in Gaza? Or do you just have a preference for whataboutism? Damn you Gaza bots are out in force today... Hundreds of you saying the same thing...

@@TheVanpablo79 they will win, that's obvious now, the big question is will this escalate?
@@chrisj2502 Why will the orcs win?
Ukraine has now liberated 55% of all the territory the orcs occupied June 2022, and every serious military analysis puts third world neo-fascist ruSSia's losses at an average of 5 orcs for every 1 Ukrainian.
This is unsustainable for the russofascists.
We should be finding a way to make peace not war.
Peace is overrated.
Look how deranged Russia's peace terms are. Consider how utterly worthless their word is, this war is how Russia respects The Budapest Memorandum. There is a huge effort for peace, which will only come if Ukraine's borders are restored in full. Unfortunately force will come before peace is possible. For peace talks to begin the world needs to see a Russia that is able to be honest with itself at least (look at a Russian WW2 memorial).
Totally agree with you redbird.
Don't you mean Natanyahu's 'genocidal war crimes' in Gaza
Sure, this should be addressed aswell... but the fact is Israel does not threat the West (I mean: us and a.o. me) with a nuclear war (or with all kinds of other threats)! Copy?
So this is a genocide and Gaza isn’t ? 😂😂
Hypocrisy at its finest,
Terrorists are not people.
I doubt there are many innocent civilians in the latter
Ukraine didn’t go into Russia to stage a brutal attack on its citizens and their citizens didn’t celebrate and hide hostages. There’s a huge difference.
Do the Ukrainians use hospitals as military bases like Hamas does?

I do understand what you mean though there's literally homeless veterans it's a total joke, but what can we do I feel like we have no choice but to pay loads for Ukraine
@ChrisPinchy it's all a manipulation to create war. They should not be expanding NATO and Europe to Russias doorstep.

I can explain to you love but you can always double check it by simply Google it.

Can people please stop devaluing the term 'genocide'. People are dying in wars in Israel/Gaza and Russia/Ukraine, but in neither place is there a genocide taking place. A very high bar has to be reached before 'genocide' is invoked. Terms such as 'racist', 'far right', 'fascist', 'x-phobia', and even 'genocide', because they have become largely meaningless concepts through over- and misuse, are no longer being taken seriously, and consequently are less likely to be taken seriously when they actually occur; we are losing our ability to accurately describe things in the world.

The Ukraine war was caused by nato wishing to expand nato eastwards which was a catastrophic geopolitical strategic mistake. Nato borders were secure before that but by wishing to increase the size of nato and poking the Russians into invading Ukraine, nato has caused a war and destabilised Europe. That was the plan all along because poking the Russian bear is great for defence spending and it worked because here you are wanting us to spend more on defence. We should have agreed that Ukraine should be a neutral state.
