Summary

A “significant number” of countries are willing to provide peacekeeping troops in Ukraine if a peace deal with Russia is reached, according to a spokesperson for British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

Britain and France are leading efforts to create a “coalition of the willing” involving over 30 countries, as Trump pursues peace talks with Russia. Russia has rejected the idea of NATO soldiers in Ukraine.

When questioned about Russia’s objections, Starmer’s spokesperson noted that “Russia didn’t ask Ukraine when it deployed North Korean troops to the frontline last year.”

    I fucking hope so. Putin would take over the world if he could so we need to back Ukraine for our own sake.

      Somewhat hyperbolic but I definitely agree that if NATO wasn’t in the way he’d happily reclaim USSR territory.

        Trump’s committed to butchering Europe with Putin’s help: that’s WHY Canada & Greenland require, in his reality, to be possessed, as military staging-grounds for smashing the hated by Putin & Trump woke-EU.

        They want to be the ONLY world “kings” alive.

        NATO is now trojan’d, & NOT going to fight-against Russia for ANY reason, whatsoever, unless it kicks the US out.

        The butchering of the world is beginning.

        7y from now, & there should only be 3 empires left, & the remnant-of-NATO against all-3 empires.

        The US is going to declare war on Canada in less than 3y, if Canada won’t aquiesce to being butchered, willingly.

        & there is nothing I can do to prevent it. ( I’m a Canuck )

    Why the wait to send in peackeepers. Russia shore did not (if im not mistaken they initially called their troop buildup peacekeepers). Would be ironic if the uk and eu ended up defending ukraine with troops given both the us and russia signed a treaty saying they would. I mean russias a backstabber but the us is the person who said they would help and did not (I know we did some stuff but given the treaty we signed we should have stopped the annexation of crimea)

    Well, that’s what it’s going to take.

    We can’t just funnel money to the MIC all day and expect things to work out. People need to be willing to die for what they believe in.
