Sure, but that is an assumption based on a poll. So while it has merit it has obvious limitations.




Situations change and politicians react accordingly. Its not really a complex idea.
Hitler annexed the Sudetenland and it was presumed that he was appeased. A year later they invaded Poland.



Ok.

Not a yes or no question, but how do you see the war in Ukraine ending?



Not a very mature contribution, unsurprisingly. Yes defensive alliances add members. Like Finland, like Sweden.
Especially in the face of perceived or literal aggression.

If you want me to respond again to your posts which by continually quoting me I gather you do, then I suggest you upgrade the level of maturity in your rhetoric; If you are in fact capable of that.

Scholz has been reluctant and "Ukraine-sceptical" from the get go though. I still remember a press conference in 2022 where he was standing next to Biden, Biden said "our goal is that Ukraine wins this war", then Scholz very deliberately saying "our goal is that Ukraine doesn't lose this war". He comes from a historically Russia-friendly party and his stance throughout this whole war has essentially been "we want to give Ukraine the bare minimum that it needs to defend itself, but nothing more".

Pledging to send helmets was the writing on the wall for Scholz. Who is this leader of the opposition that gave a speech this week in Stuttgart?

You have to ask yourself how can a country continually do the opposite of what it's key politicians said in the past, what most of the populace wants, year after year. To me it's evident that's not a real representative democracy, and in reality some other forces are running the country. It's evident in a lot of countries in the west, and we're throwing stones from a glass house when talking about Russian, Chinese & other autocratic countries. In reality, our ruling class is just a lot better at hiding the autocracy and selling a false notion of democracy.

what is he, some kind of bleeding heart peacenik who spouts off nonsense about turning the other cheek?

Clearly I didn't respond to you, I responded to Ferdia. Now that you're explicitly asking I will respond

Despite the fact that NATO insists (yes insists) that Ukraine becomes a NATO member you perform mental gymnastics at the highest level and formulate some complete drivel that NATO hasn't got anything to do with this.

Laughable

Ahhhhhh
That's why France wants to put boots on the ground
The pope is gonna make the ukranians fly the national French flag

Exactly

This was the Yes/No Question:

Nato is a military alliance who supports and encourages it members to send weapons to Ukraine, Yes or No ?
