No war is won with any one weapon, that is the case.”
Fundamentally I have come to the view that we should allow President Zelensky and Ukraine to use those long-range weapons to attack Russian military bases in Russia."
There is no conceivable case for delay. The only person who fears escalation is Vladimir Putin, and every day that goes by is a lost opportunity to save lives and bring about a just conclusion to this war.”
If we have to do it unilaterally I think we should.”
I think that what Putin's doing is throwing dust up into the air,
There's a lot of bluster. That's his modus operandi. He threatens about tanks, he threatens about missiles, he threatens about nuclear weapons,
I think it's disappointing that Keir Starmer and David Lammy have failed to secure international agreement for Ukraine to use these missiles in their self-defence against the launch sites of those weapons that are currently hitting civilian infrastructure, energy infrastructure.
This week, the Russians have launched around 30 missiles of various types, more than 800 guided aerial bombs, and nearly 300 strike drones against Ukraine
If that's the case, then taking into account the change of nature of the conflict, we will take the appropriate decisions based on the threats that we will face,
We cannot be blown off course by an imperialist fascist, effectively, that wants to move into countries willy nilly,
We are dithering, my guess is that eventually they will be provided.”
They should not signal this kind of dither and dilemma, they need to be firm in the signals we send.”
This will mean that NATO countries, the U.S. and European countries are at war with Russia."
Secretary Blinken, President Biden — STOP IT! Stop this reckless escalation. I say this not as a political partisan, but simply as a citizen of the world,
He makes these threats because he knows they work,
Putin's war in Ukraine has been a massive failure – hundreds of thousands of casualties, a brain drain, a million Russians have fled, Sweden and Finland are now NATO members, the list goes on,
The Russians are wearing down the Ukrainians' ability to put well trained, well equipped forces into battle, and getting air-launched cruise missiles won't change that,
There is little reason to believe that the provision of these air-launched cruise missiles will significantly increase Ukraine's chances of winning the war,
It will mean nothing less than the direct involvement of NATO countries, the United States and European countries in the war in Ukraine".
It certainly speaks to the manner in which this partnership threatens European security and how it illustrates Iran’s destabilizing influence now reaches well beyond the Middle East,
