Have you actually read the declaration?

Whilst not an actual declaration of war per se, it's a commitment to share information weapons and personnel. It's one thing to send them supplies, but this goes above that. Ostensibly it's a two way agreement so if we can call on Ukraine for military support, they can also call on us for the same.

There's also the usual government nonsensical waffle that makes the whole thing so vague that you could drive a tank through it.

Seems quite sensible to me.  :)

After all we need all the allies we can get after 'Kier Starmer is a whanker' has trashed our relationship with the Yanks, and lets face it we could never depend on our continental cousins Brexit or no Brexit.  ::)

The Ukrainians currently have around a million experienced battle hardened men under arms. I'm sure they'd spare a few to help us out.  :P

I guess the ultimate question is what happens when he gets outed and Angie takes over...

On the one hand we could be a communist outpost and on the other we could become the next Islamic state... Those two things are mutually exclusive in the same space. That's never going to end well.
