I'm afraid you are mistaken, it has an assembly. They're different to a parliament.

If you are referring to the Welsh Assembly through Devolution, I'd suggest looking up the difference between an Assembly and a Parliament. Wales should take responsibility for primary legislation.

The Senedd is an assembly, not a parliament. Scotland has a parliament. England has neither. Wales should push for her own parliament.

Wales should push for its own parliament, like in Scotland, if it wishes to be treated like a country instead of a principality.

If Georgia can keep this momentum up, like in Ukraine, they can push Russia out! Russian grip on its sphere of influence is dwindling

That would be an unusual friendship.

I don't think I mentioned abortion. I thought we were having a discussion about gun crime. I assume you aren't interested in reducing gun crime?

Hmmm I have heard this a lot. Unfortunately, it doesn't offer a solution to gun crime. Unless that solution is to restrict guns, in which case, it makes loads of sense.

Excellent news. Drone warfare is the new thing in war. It's a shame Japan has had to move away from pacifism. But it must now help Ukraine win and help S.Korea/USA counter China. Well done Japan 👏

Excellent news. This is exactly what Ukraine has been asking for. It would have been even more helpful 2 years ago. Better late than never...

Honestly America, just strengthen your gun laws. The gun culture in the USA baffles the rest of the world. The answer is so blindly obvious.

Unfortunately this is war and Russia is the invading force. I'm a pacifist but I also stand up to bullies. The inevitable conclusion is Ukraine must stand up to its bully Russia, and therefore must strike those Russian troops.
Remember, every soldier on either side is someone's son.

Scholz has been a disaster for Ukraine. He hasn't got the instinct for it. He's holding Europe back.

Germany has a lot to answer for. It's trying to appease a facist dictator. Despite Europen history teaching the contrary. Crazy.

1000 day war on a war that was supposed to last 3 days. The fight for democracy and the global world order lives on. Putin has to lose this war.

We need more experienced soldiers and veterans to help with the war in Ukraine. The world order as we know it is under threat, and the frontline is the Ukraine-Russia war.

As others have stated, this should have been done 2 years ago. The war battle lines could look vastly different if they did. Ukraine would also be in stronger position for when Trump is President.

The West's de-escalation strategy is clearly work... 🙄 I think it's time we pull ourselves together and stand up to Putin.

Surely it can't continously climb in value? Can it?

The EU 🇪🇺 and USA 🇺🇸 must do more to protect Ukraine. A no-fly zone over West Ukraine, like in Israel would be a good start. Poland 🇵🇱 should also be able to shoot missiles down heading in her direction.
