The Agreement on Security Cooperation and Long-Term Support between Ukraine and Denmark, signed February 23, 2024, stops short of obligatory military action. It is more about supplying and manufacturing arms.  (Yesterday at 2:00 pm)Belacqua Wrote:(Yesterday at 10:56 am)Mister Agenda Wrote: There is no such pact. Sorry you’re not going to get to see all that ‘fun’ you mentioned. Next time, maybe do a little research before pulling falsehoods out of your arse. Boru

You know who did have an actual defense agreement with Ukraine? Russia and the US.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
Here's a good big-picture look at the ongoing fiasco. The EU is saying that the promised 90 Billion Euro loan won't actually go to Ukraine. There are a lot of variables.
It's important to get beyond the Hollywood movie view of things, in which this is simply Good vs. Evil, where Dr. Evil got up one morning and decided to do a land grab. That's too simple. Quote:This is why the Russian SMO may go down as the most pivotal geopolitical flashpoint since WWII, because it may very well be the final catalyst which brings the post-war system’s arc to its natural conclusion. I’ve said from the beginning that the SMO may very well lead to the collapse of both NATO and the EU, and—particularly with the recent Greenland saga and contradictions over who will back whom in Ukraine—we can clearly see the trajectory of NATO’s demise now playing out. Lots of useful links here. https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/fant...s-adjusted RE: Russia and Ukraine

That's some hard cope about losing all those towns. I guess the upside is that when russia loses, they'll get to say they lost something really big and important. Wouldn't want to think it was all over dusty donbas.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
For those fantasizing about a NATO fracture following an American attack on Greenland:
Quote:Senate Republicans are vowing to block any effort by President Trump to seize Greenland by military force, as Trump officials on Wednesday refused to back off their demands to control the island during a meeting with top diplomats at the White House. https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/5689...greenland/  (Today at 1:52 am)Belacqua Wrote: Here's a good big-picture look at the ongoing fiasco.

Here Dr. Evil was waking up and deciding on aggressive action many times before current imperialist aggression.
The first revolt is against the supreme tyranny of theology, of the phantom of God. As long as we have a master in heaven, we will be slaves on earth.
