>Who's going to invade them anyways?

Same way Ukraine was thinking before 2014.

It's irrelevant what the current situation of the world is. It's utterly unpredictable what the future brings and extremely irresponsible for a country to give up war or defense material. Just look at Sweden and Finland scrambling to join NATO to gain protection now and giving up 'ideals'.

Equipment can be as old and obsolete as they come, it is still better than not having them. Especially if the 'enemy' is currently unlikely to expand their arsenal.

True, but that's a bit of a simplistic argument to make.

The truth of the matter is that Ukraine is not part of NATO or any formal alliance to begin with. In fact they've been on the Russian 'side' for most of modern history and are the most corrupt nation in Europe after Russia.

It is currently unthinkable that Ukraine becomes pro Russian again in the near future, but not unthinkable that corruption will lead material into the wrong hands. There's also a somewhat non negligible chance that Ukraine becomes neutralized and loses their arsenal to Russia.

>One might ask what use a tank is to a country that will not and can not use it.

The same use as nuclear weapons: deterrent. If Ukraine still had theirs, there would have never been an invasion. Also the world is unpredictable, you never know what you need your tanks for. Could be as simple as training or as serious as defending your own country rather than a country you have sympathy, but no treaties with.

How do you know? This was obviously a highly unstable and impulsive man since him pressing charges against them is what lead to all of them getting caught to begin with.

He got a massive amount of money for doing absolutely nothing. It's hard to believe he wouldn't have continued asking for more even if they gave him 90%.

Read the ruling (or at least the article); she has to pay back all the money.

The dude was in on the scam, so it's hard to say if he would have ever been happy and not just chased for more money.

Also it's not unlikely the gofundme by itself is enough to settle the tax question. Very few situations actually get a full investigated audit.

Not all homeless people are just unlucky and unfortunate. Some are just really stupid.

Do you mean moot? Or did mute get another meaning added to it?

The royal family is a huge source of income and business for the UK actually. Many countries take a visit from the royals far more serious than a prime minister. That's why they often accompany politicians to get deals done.
