Missiles from the UK, Italy, Germany and Netherlands would be impossible to defend against.If America wanted to put missiles in Ukraine, why haven't they put them in Estonia.America could put a million troops in Ukraine and still risk every city at home being destroyed if one of them put a toe end over the border.You are talking absolute nonsense over this.I accept that you won't accept that. Because if you did, the entire case you've been remorselessly pushing for months disintegrates. Parts of Russia, including Moscow, are closer from Ukraine.Just because NATO hasn't used Latvia as a missile base doesn't mean it won't use Ukraine now or in the future. Being closer can mean a lot, esp with hypersonic missiles.So, anyway, it seems you don't think the US would be bothered with Russian missiles in Cuba, or Chinese missiles in Tijuana or Ottawa. Weird.

Missed this over the weekend but a very important contribution to the debate about 'will Russia use nuclear weapons or not?'“Nuclear weapons must not be used over Ukraine, Chinese President Xi Jinping said on Friday'https://www.scmp.com/news/china/diplomacy/article/3198505/no-nuclear-weapons-over-ukraine-chinese-president-xi-jinping-says-clear-message-russia
Sorry have I missed something?How many British pensioners have frozen to death & where was this reported?
It's strange how all the people who were bleating about the alleged amount of Covid deaths in the UK are more than happy for British pensioners to freeze to death just to prove a point on the international stage. It is the duty of the British Government to put the lives of it's own people first.
Russia withdrawing from Kherson...https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-63573387

I wonder despite what Zelensky has said, whether pressure may now come to call a halt from NATO. If Putin now accepts that he can't take the whole of Ukraine and settles for the regions that "voted" to rejoin Russia then possibly the end game could be insight. China has called his bluff on nukes, his Generals are going to get all the blame, but he can still claim his special exercises have been a success. Just an optimistic thought
