Ukraine

[Bazile]

The Ukraine president wants the agreement of the British and US governments , to allow him to use western missiles against targets inside Russia .

Should he be given permission ? 

[renegadefm]

I would say NO because it will spark a nuclear world war 3

[curlyfries81]

If Iran can supply missiles to Russia for the very same then yes.

[tomus42]

Yes. I can't see why not. If we've sold them the ammunition it's up to them how to use it.

[naomi24]

BBC news tonight - Putin has a dire warning for nations that provide arms for Ukraine to attack Russian soil.  Do we heed it - or dismiss it?

[fender62]

putin is getting ammo bombs etc from north korea iran etc, using them on ukraine, so he tell the west to back off or else, mmm i say no, the west has superior weapons and he know it, so he should back off and leave ukraine, sabre rattling hot air.

[curlyfries81]

Exactly, fender62. The man is nothing more than a bluff artist !!! 

Why is he going to other nations begging for ammo if he has the power to unleash "dire consequences" on his enemy's allies?

[curlyfries81]

What a *** turnip Putin is!  Seriously.

I was at Auschwitz-Birkenau 2 days ago. Such unthinkable atrocity would never have happened if Hitler had been stood up to sooner.

Putin is one man, as was Hitler.

[clyde59]

YES  HE SHOULD

[JJ109]

If Putin is allowed to beat Ukraine, he will think that the West is weak and will not stop there. He will then attack the Baltic countries and probably Poland (although that will be a bigger risk for him). If he attacks Poland then World War 3 will begin as Poland is a NATO country.

Therefore Putin has to be defeated. If the Russian people are behind him, then he will continue ad infinitum. Therefore the only way to stop the war is for the Russian people to rebel against him.

Russian propaganda is minimalising the losses to Russia and the Russian people are not aware of what is actually taking place, therefore so that they  understand, Russia itself must be targeted by Ukraine, otherwise the consequences for Europe will be dire.

Therefore yes, permission should be granted. You have to ask, would Putin want to attack the UK or the USA, as he knows what would happen to Russia then?

AGREE JJI09

The u.k is in a desperate state, so our p.m. decides to supply Ukraine with missiles costing almost a million pounds in addition to the billions already thrown their way, meanwhile  people back here queue at food bank's, sit shivering in their homes, unable to access Dr's dentists, or hospital care, you couldn't make it up. But hey ho let's listen to all the war mongerers on here again.  

[barney4444]

Each missile costing almost a million pounds, but hey, we got plenty of money ain't we!!  

[JJ109]

Brian 4444 that was not the question - We have already given the missiles - the question was should we give permission to use them on Russian soil!

[barney4444]

No, get the missiles back and all our money refunded, that clear enough for you!  

[Old_Geezer]

Yes. If we wish to support someone then it's ridiculous to say they can't use what we send in the way that actually helps rather than perpetuates. Legitimate targets are legitimate targets.

 

It's actually anti-warmongering to do the right thing and agree, as it's vital to prevent such empire expansion ftom dodgy nations, since the alternative simply encourages more war in the future.

[Gromit]

I don't see why there should be any debate. What is the point of donating weapons they are not allowed to use? Surely when these weapons were given, it was on the assumption they would be fired at the enemy.

A few bombs on Moscow might wake up Putins enablers to realise he is doing their country more harm than good, and remove him.

Surely a cup of tea or a fall from the window of a high rise tower would  suffice 😏

[davebro3]

Yes - give permission if the missiles are used to target Russia's missile launch site which are bombarding Ukraine daily.

No civilian targets tho' - cities etc.

[1ozzy]

🥱

[youngmafbog]

Given Irans intervention I think the answer has to be yes.  Storm Shadow wont reach Moscow (unless the Ukrainians dig right into Russian soil.

I do think there should be caveats such as they cannot be used unless Putin has fired a missile into Ukraine, for everyone he fires at civilian targets he will get one back, be difficult for Putin to argue against that if it is made public knowledge first.
