They're offering it at a discount at the moment, so I imagine all of the spineless buyers will be happily snapping it up "cause there is no rule they can't" and "they aren't the judge of morals!!1"

The gaping flaw in that argument, is that if Russia were that terrified of Ukraine joining NATO then they would have invaded back in 2008 when Ukraine and NATO began the membership process (like they did to Georgia). Granted Russia were worse off than they are now militarily but so were Ukraine, and even more so. It would have been a much better time to strike, but they didn't, they sat back and did nothing (except cheer when Ukraine chose to abandon it's NATO application a couple of years later, big mistake there) because their existential threat argument is just ******** they cooked up as another layer of justification for their land grab, it has no more validity than their argument that they're preventing genocide by Nazis.
The main concern from the Russian point of view is that long term NATO would deploy military infrastructure that could either increase US first strike capabilities or reduce Russia's nuclear strike capabilities, either or both introduce a security threat. We already saw deployment of missile shields in Poland and Romania.
Ukraine is of course interesting in a NATO alliance, Ukraine does not want to attack Russia (well not before Crimea at least) but that doesn't change the fact that Ukraine in nato is again an considerable security risk from Russia and Russia will not just let it go unanswered.
happened yesterday, it was a weapons dump

What difference would an open border make then? Absolutely nothing. Anyone who has
1) escaped a war zone
2) made it across europe
3) made it across the channel
Has more right to be here than most of the ***** that claim birth right

Turn your heating off then.
Biden to Say Putin’s War Was Deliberate and Unprovoked but NATO and the West Were Ready – Speech Draft.
Biden States That in a Reference to Putin, When Dictators Do Not Pay a Price for Their Aggression, It Leads to More Disorder – Speech Draft.

What an utterly shameless lie. There are no US weapons on Russia's borders.
LOL, put some tents up. Are you having a laugh?
This is an unfair assessment, I was under the impression you knew history of the region better than that. Economically and military Russia was in a bad place. Although Ukraine was leaving Russian sphere of influence back in 2004 Russia still had considerable political influence there. Russian strategy was clearly that of political in nature, hence heavy backing of Yanukovich, which stopped NATO ascension process when he won in 2010. They did not need to invade back in 2008 because previous government was extremely unpopular by that point and a political solution looked likely. Then 2014 protests happened, then political solution to the Ukrainian problem was dropped and a more hard lined military path chosen with invasion of Crimea and Donbas.
Deals with? Deals with?!
Lebanon is a wreck. I know people there. I talk to them regularly. It's falling apart at the seams. The economy, the corruption, the wars, it's awful.
They "deal with" refugees, sure, they put up with them. They accommdate them. But there is no way on Earth you can compare Lebanon's situation to the UK or seek to. That's such an insane comparison I'm lost for words that you even attempted it.

To name but a few: Alongside the US we have lead the world in training the Ukraine military's since 2014, we dropped some of the first equipment supplies to them, we then backed this up with some of the first meaningful anti-tank weapons, alongside the US we are providing intel to Ukraine again one of two leading the world, whilst the EU blundered around during the first few days we became one of the leaders and i think one of the first to impose any meaningful sanctions on Russia, we then lead the world in calling for them to be kicked out of swift, we have then flown countless flights both over the EU and into key countries like Poland supplying both reconnaissance, refueling, escort and patrol capabilities which next to the US is probably the most. And now we are allowing in controlled numbers certain types of refugees.
I'm really not seeing much to complain about in terms of our response.
She's clueless. A lot of the "bombs" she is referring to, are actually missiles and shells fired from the ground. A no fly zone wouldn't a lot at the moment.
Pretty certain the gov have said anyone who's a parent / grand parent / adult children who already have someone living in the UK are able to stay without needing to apply?
Do you miss a point for a living? Or are you just so bad at it that they let you do it for free?
These aren't just 240K houses we can or should just requisition and/or are suitable for housing people. Though there may be a percentage of that where it could be justified.
