Starmer on verge of a disastrous decision

HERE'S why deploying British troops in Ukraine as peacekeepers could be a bloody disaster.
Keir Starmer, buoyed by plaudits at home and abroad for his steadfast support of war hero Volodymyr Zelensky and attempts to constrain duplicitous Putin puppet Donald Trump, is in danger of getting carried away.
Because sending weapons to Ukraine embattled and imposing economic sanctions on the Kremlin is one thing, putting British troops in the firing line another completely.
The Prime Minister, in his moment of glory, risks repeating the mistakes that Tony Blair made in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Those mistakes cost the lives of 462 members of the British armed forces.
As a Labour PM, Blair should have emulated predecessor Harold Wilson who, when asked to send squaddies to fight alongside the Americans in Vietnam, smartly said no.
Backing Ukraine is, of course, a noble cause but Vladimir Putin has made it clear that any deployment of peacekeepers would be regarded as Nato declaring war on Russia.
Lives would inevitably be lost and public approval would evaporate at the sight of military coffins being driven through Royal Wootton Bassett. The lack of public discussion over the dangers of committing soldiers is dispiriting and dangerous, the widespread detestation of deranged Donald silencing sceptical MPs and debate.
Doubts over US assistance are genuine. Trump has flipped the US into being a crony power of Putin. Halting arms and intelligence while humiliating Zelensky has boosted Russia's tyrant more than China's Xi Jinping ever has.
Germany and Poland know this, which is why neither is gung-ho about Starmer and France's Emmanuel Mac...
