I feel like he changed his mind when he saw how upset i was while reading through the first half

Plopp ,

Right? I had to unsigh hard to regain equilibrium.

CanadaPlus ,

If David Cameron can come back and be relevant again, I guess any sufficiently aristo Brit can.

Somebody is not getting their regular bribes payments anymore

NateNate60 ,

Those last three words of the headline are doing some heavy lifting here

Not gonna lie, that headline had me on the first half. I was getting mad up until the last three words.

Yup

leisesprecher ,

Yeah, it’s a rollercoaster.

Same. I started thinking “why, that stupid shit-for-brains…” and had to reel that in with the last few words.

Mmm-hm.

And it’s so easily fixable too. “Boris Johnson calls to lift ban on Ukraine using”… etc. or just move “to be lifted” immediately after “ban”.

But then it wouldn’t be click bait.

CanadaPlus ,

It a definite instance where keeping the preposition in (“the ban on”) would have been clearer.

gravitas_deficiency ,

I will admit that I am confounded by how often I agree with Boris Johnson’s views on providing military aid to Ukraine, considering I almost always vehemently disagree with him on pretty much anything and everything else.

Skua ,

Advocating a strong response to Russia lets him act out his Churchill fantasy, so he has a motivation to be less of a shitebag for a moment

Gork ,

Yeah he’s one of the very few Western politicians who is taking the threat Russia poses to European security seriously. I found it unexpected tbh considering all of his other views.

Well foreign policy and domestic policy are two completely different things.

Never. The dude being right once doesn’t absolve him of shit. Fuck him.

ravhall ,

Amen. Dude totally fucked the UK for a hundred years. Not that I’m crying over it, given their past, but the regular people deserved better than Brexit.

These limitations on Ukraine really need to be lifted. Ukraine needs freedom to attack the best strategic targets they can, whether they are in Ukraine occupied areas or in Russia. Since Russia annexed the occupied territories, there’s not a big difference anyway.

NaibofTabr ,

The only problem I see is that it’s escalatory. If Ukraine starts using Western-supplied weapons for offensive operations, this situation goes from supplying war material for defense (under-the-table proxy war) to full-on overt proxy war. Russia will spin this as “NATO is using Ukraine to attack us” (though they’re probably doing that already).

I can’t see how this won’t lead to a wider conflict.

Pistcow ,

K. Russia cant even defend itself from Ukraine. Lets transition to the find out stage.

Dremor ,
@Dremor@lemmy.world avatar

They already use that rhetoric for a long time.

NaibofTabr ,

I’m sure you’re right.

How do we use our understanding of that, and the way that they operate, to avoid a full scale war?

Just_Pizza_Crust ,

There IS a full scale war going on. 31,000 confirmed dead Ukranian soldiers, and up to 120,000 dead Russian soldiers. We don’t even have a good idea how many civilian deaths, but the total death toll could be as high as 500,000.

And no, before you start - Mutually Assured Destruction isn’t “a full scale war”. Its Annihilation of both sides, and has no precedent in the history of war.

homesweethomeMrL ,

Full scale in the sense that Putin gets NATO involved.

PP_BOY_ ,
@PP_BOY_@lemmy.world avatar

Putin can’t even hold his own territory. I don’t think even he would open another front by attacking a NATO member even if the west started greenlighting their weapons be used in the incursion.

Dremor ,
@Dremor@lemmy.world avatar

We already crossed many times their “red lines”. This is just the good old “China’s Final Warning”.

They are already barely managing to slowly advance against a single foe, which is still transitioning between the old soviet warfare ways toward NATO’s one, with far less soldiers, I doubt they would ever hold against the full alliance firepower.

Bro fucking russian troll, stfu

I’m not a fan of the guy but he had to say something sensible eventually.
