"If we allow Putin to win this war by dragging it out, and he somehow wins it by exhausting everybody else, then we will suffer the consequences. And the consequences would be incredibly severe for Europe, for Britain, for the world," Shapps said.

No shit. Russia isn't rushing. They want a WW2 repeat where they won by pure body count. They don't give a flying fuck.

Only that they didn't win anything by pure body count but by equipment and logistics from their allies. And they don't seem to have improved in these aspects at all.

Why is it that the Tories only sound sensible when they're being "Captain Obvious"???

Unpopular opinion - It would help if a nation offered their own soldiers. Ukrainian soldiers have been fighting for a long time without a break.

Quite difficult to do that without starting WW3

That's literrally all of the UN talks... Why Putin doesn't want them in, why Ukraine wants in ASAP before this invasion is even over.

When countries openly attack other countries, even if it's just their military, it is going to war. Definitionally. Multiple countries, especially another superpower, going to war with/for Russia, would almost definitionally be starting ww3.

The ENTIRE POINT of the political strategies have been to keep more countries from openly joining. (and to demotivate Putin, but he's a weak old man with a fragile ego, so Russia is fucked)
