PM Starmer expects to send only 10’000 soldiers to Ukraine, to fight side by side with Ukrainians against Russia – in case a ceasefire will not hold. Why at all Starmer needs to send his troops to war? The DailyMail comments: “It comes against the backdrop of Russia’s objections to the plan, UK manpower issues as well as the US’s apparent refusal to provide a ‘backstop’.” Starmer knows that Russia will not accept NATO troops in Ukraine … but does he really think that a small force would be a compromise? Another serious matter is that the UK army has a serious manpower problem … and the perspective to lose life in Ukraine will not make it better. Yes, and finally, if Donald Trump does not want to sacrifice US boys for Ukraine, then Starmer has himself no argument left why to sacrifice UK boys for Ukraine. Starmer’s plan is, indeed, dead in the water.
