I don't get this "permission to use weapons". 9 Months ago
They have been given or sold to Ukraine. They no longer belong to the UK or USA or Germany or anyone else. I think Ukraine should immediately be given permission to use those weapons against an enemy who has invaded their country. Just as the citizens of Gaza should be allowed to invade or bomb Israel.

Surely if there IS a clause saying "you cannot use them against another country" there could be added "except in retaliation". I can't understand what uses these weapons have if they cannot be used. Am I being stupid?

It is all very incoherent and silly isn't it.
The reality - as we all know - is that it is all about money. I honestly don't know how people who work for the weapon makers, or the politicians that sell them, can sleep at night.
Whether troubled by the wraiths of dead Palestinian, Israeli or Ukranian babies and children it matters not to me.
