The briefed EU and US sanctions, and wider policy decisions, may well make Johnson’s government look incredibly weak. Ludicrous how he tried to use Ukraine, posturing about tough he would be on Russia, then came out of the bathroom with his dick in his hand.

The hope is Biden just goes all in - no point pussy footing around with Putin, the guy is bonkers.
I'm sure Biden will have his own Political future on his mind when it comes to making decisions. Not acting enough will give Republicans all the ammo they need to go after him and paint him as a coward.

The Dutch alt right is quite strongly in Russia's corner in this whole thing. Seeing as the alt right is a bit of a global cult, is it the same in other countries and if so, why? I just don't see the logic behind some of their beliefs.
Same thing here in Norway. Far right weirdos are up Putin’s ass.

Not very objective is it? Almost as if it's directly from the desk of Putin himself:

"The conflict is the product of thirty years of failed policies, including the expansion of NATO and US hegemony at the expense of other countries as well as major wars of aggression by the USA, Britain and other NATO powers which have undermined international law and the United Nations.

The British government has played a provocative role in the present crisis, talking up war, decrying diplomacy as appeasement and escalating arms supplies and military deployments to Eastern Europe."

“If you want the truth listen to Putin himself”

<insert all the facepalm gifs>
I don't understand what her angle is on this? Does being a Trump supporter mean you need to support Putin also?

I wouldn't say that's true, Britain were among the first to act with sanctions on assets and Russian banks and in fairness the EU's response has been thus far, tame and rather quiet.

He’s nearly 80, doubt he cares that much to be honest. They’re going for the sanction tranches as well - guess ball is in Putin’s court.
