@MarkMcCormack04 @DominicFarrell @johnhelme Is it in poor taste, or is it just stating a reality that some would like to hide away. We are so used to people pointing fingers when things go wrong, but when they go right people don’t like to publicise the fact. It is what it is, the British Army are doing a good deed.

@afneil @SteveAikenUUP Again we help Europe (regardless of the fact our own storage capability is reduced) and still we’re treated like a naughty child who should be punished. Why oh why are so many in the U.K. so in awe of the EU to our own detriment?

@jsolloso @Mij_Europe How can the U.K. be breaking international law by invoking article 16. It’s written into the protocol, it is in itself part of that international law you’re speaking about.

@POTUS Outstanding, so are you going to advocate for all sovereignty of the US to be handed over to Native Americans and for the control exercised over them by foreign colonists to be negated, or does that only apply to Ireland. Just a thought for you to ponder.

@ElGato59218690 @_HenryBolton @NickBoles But who sent what and when. The U.K. armaments arrived before the invasion, as did the training in their use, from U.K. troops to the Ukraine military. So possibly get some perspective, but wouldn’t suit your narrative then would it.
