A lot of money is being thrown at the military across Europe over the next few years. No doubt the UK's effort will be the same halfarsed shambles of overspending on useless junk as the last 30 years: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13415427/Europe-gears-war-Nukes-Russias-doorstep-conscription-18-arms-factories-whirring-life-continent-faces-doomsday-WW3-scenario.html

Seems to be a lot of sabre rattling going on!

Did you know, that the Harriers that Camoron [Sic] virtually gave away to the US are still superior in most ways to the F35s (bought at great expense from the US) that we have now? - Follow the money and you often see the bigger picture.

The problem here is that this is no longer defensive, but aggressive. Ukraine has rapidly lost its 'victim' claim, and the West is now going to need to fund things. This might get very messy, not to mention expensive!

Things are escalating somewhat, now that Ukraine's been allowed to launch missiles at Russia: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14096437/Sweden-citizens-prepare-WAR-Pamphlets-stockpile-food-water-sent-five-million-households-growing-fears-NATO-Russia-conflict.html

Somehow I don't think it'll change much...

Peace in Ukraine might be possible if Ukraine's actually involved and there's a consistent approach: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/articl ... euvre.html

At least Stammer has done something useful for once, and talked the orange idiot down.
