Humm, condemns the British recovering the Falklands after an invasion and supports the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

So some invasions are OK, it just depends on who is doing the invading.

I particularly liked ‘NATO stops considering Ukraine as a territory to be defended’.

Like Argentina is always complaining about the British defending the S. Atlantic/Antarctic, preventing them from invading, again.

Or in other words, let the Russians have Ukraine and the Argys have the Falklands.

Never mind what the inhabitants of the territories in question want, clearly they do not get any consideration in Sr Petro’s political ideology.

And that tells you all you need to know about how this man thinks.

Not to mention the state his country is in, and he is lecturing Europe, pfff.
