good good, so you accept the paucity of your country's contributions. No shame, now the UK has left the EU your contributions to Italy and Spain will go up and of course to keep France's antiquated CAP scam going![]()
I notice that you haven't had the audacity to deny editing the wiki stats to your benefit.

See you around
TD spawns some weird pissing contests
I'am sure the U.K. would do more then Germany if they only could.But I think they are bankrupt and asking themselves: "eat or heat". Better eat, because EU 4000 doctors are missing and the U.K. health system falling apart.....even more. But once in the hospital you might get some food. Tough choice there buddy.
You can read it in the Guardian or Euro news

It's pretty clear to me the world, especially Europe is falling apart due to this situation re: Ukraine and Russia.
Higher prices across the globe with energy costs spiralling out of control and not enough of the basic food substances for the masses.
Who has the balls to stand up to Ukraine and say enough is enough?
It must be trillions of dollars forwarded them now and someone has to pull the plug before the World crumbles.
^^^^ and some weird posters Balders. I was merely pointing out the fact that as usual our EU MATO partners aren't pulling their weight, if you want view that through your Balderleneses up to you
Yeah LT we should pack it in and return to the good old Nordstream days, you are missing a big point here war aside - the world needs to wean itself off oil and gas and going back to suck on Putins pipe ain't the answer. Some pain while the west gets used to the new reality.
The head of the Russian mercenary outfit Wagner, Yevgeny Prigozhin, said Friday that a former US Marine general was working for the group.
In response to a request for comment from Finnish newspaper Helsingin Sanomat, Prigozhin said: “There are not very many Finnish citizens in the Wagner PMC, about 20 people. But for obvious reasons, I cannot give exact information about them.”
“I have a very good opinion about the Finns on the battlefield. They are fighting in a British battalion (as part of Wagner PMC), which is commanded by a US citizen, a former general of the Marine Corps,” Prigozhin said as quoted by the press service of his company Concord.
Prigozhin, dubbed “Putin’s chef” because of his Kremlin catering contracts, has been hit with EU and US sanctions.
In September, he disclosed for the first time that he founded the Wagner group in 2014 to fight in Ukraine and acknowledged its presence in Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America.
For years, the Wagner group has been suspected of playing a role in realizing the Kremlin’s overseas ambitions, including in Ukraine where Wagner fighters have been at the forefront of Moscow’s February offensive.
This month Wagner opened a headquarters in Russia’s second city of Saint Petersburg.

That is the nub, Snubs puts it well , is better to bail out the ship with a manageable small a hole or lose more, it will cost but compared to the pain and sacrifice of the millions of Ukrainian victims of aggression seems just and I have no objection for m taxes to finance materiel , aid or allowing Ukrainian refugees to stay as long as they need and help the reconstruction as happened post WW2
After Donbas, Crimea Ossetia Chechnya if Putin swallows all of Ukraine not just Russian speaking areas who is next, Moldova etc?
There are a few upsides
Vile dictators like Iran and China see the democracies will not roll over
The energy hike while painful will encourage transition to non fossil fuels
A bit of austerity will ration the mindless consumption and encourage thrift
Higher interest rates will reward saver and investors.
Or continue to throw trillions of dollars on a bonfire?
Wouldn't that money be better spent developing climate friendly energy technology?
Maybe feed a few starving children?
I also say fuck Putin but there are better ways to do it compared to what is happening even today.
