There's no way the Baltics would agree to being in an axis of neutrality. Ukraine was neutral, gave up it's nuclear weapons for joint protection by the US, Russia, UK...that didn't end well for them.

I'd go for Bricks currency... did I spell that correctly 😉

Yes true...are they getting 21% interest in their current accounts 😉 nice!

They'd better take it out and stuff it under the mattress...before Putin decides a war tax of 20,% on all savings, because those cynical Russians didn't buy enough of the excellent value war bonds.

Italy props up the first chart I posted... but yes.

What a great idea 👍

Lovely 😍. Especially good to see that young whippersnapper Welbeck is still improving 👍

Ok, I thought you meant the Daily Mail article, and that says missile. Originally yesterday I'd read it was drones, but who knows, as the Mail says they quote a Ukrainian official that it was missiles! Never mind, we are both happy that SOMETHING hit the ammo dump 👍😁

I did 🤷🏼‍♂️

Hopefully they'll be close to 2000 daily very soon 🤞🏻

I'm not trying to defend the latest clusterf##k of announcements and restrictions by the US...just trying to throw some light on which countries have provided how much air defense to Ukraine. I can't find a simple summary and have given up trying. Air defense is such a key part and the allies...

Hi @crookie and @GoldstoneVintage sorry, I've now added that link into my previous post. Click on 'technical difficulties' and you should see 🤞🏻 the update from The US State Department on materiel supply to Ukraine.

Here's an indication of the amount of military materiel sent to Ukraine from the US as of end October 2024. I haven't got time to summarize, but plenty of detail listed in there on air defense systems etc. I know that some European countries have also supplied air defense systems, but I can't...
