Has France sent anything? ship(s), equipment, etc...?

Spain has sent a ship

I think the old man will let putin have europe if it comes to it. As the US/North America now exports oil; the middle east may not even be interesting and our allies there seem to be handling it good enough with their missile defense systems.. Israel should be able to handle it in a few button presses. Iran would not stand a chance.

China is our biggest threat.

And, while Vlad is distracting the West, watch Taiwan’s nasty neighbour.

And what was the result?

The famous "special relationship". (insert proper animated laughing smiley here)

Boris is going to speak to Putin - that will have him quaking in his boots - job done

The current crisis is bizarre and scary with so many contradictions. The Ukraine wants to join the EU and NATO but is telling both organisations to chill out and that this is normal Russian behaviour. The EU is split with France and Germany at loggerheads over sanctions because Germany needs Russian gas, then you have the US involvement with Biden trying to pretend he's a tough guy whilst his approval ratings tank at home. In the meantime Putin is sniggering away in the Kremlin probably playing Risk as we speak.
