Russia - worrying?

One can't always take a Sherlock Holmes approach to these matters. There's no documentary evidence that Adolf Hitler knew of the Holocaust, but would it be obtuse of me not to jump to that conclusion?

Not if somebody is trying to start a war.

Russia is becoming a pariah state, if it is not one already. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/alexei-navalny-jailed-putin-critic-moved-to-prison-hospital-with-respiratory-illness/ar-BB1fkma6?ocid=msedgntp

There'll be no tears shed if Navalny should suddenly die from whatever is ailing him ?. Aren't we glad we don't live there ?

The world is pretty unstable at the moment behind the scenes. You've got China/ Australia, Iran/Israel, US/Turkey and the Ukraine/ Russia. World War 3 is looming.
Makes me wonder all the more about this pandemic ( germ warfare )

[lookout]

The present violence in Myanmar is another indication.

Australia's prime minister put the damper on any good relationship with China when he questioned and doubted the Covid 19's origins. China weren't happy and iimposed tariffs on billions of dollars of goods that were bound for Australia. Tensions have worsened between the two countries with a possible military conflict in the near future. Then you'd have the concerning aggression towards Taiwan who have bolstered their navy with amphibious warships as we speak.
Communist China have already threatened if diplomatic talks aren't successful.

Russia is pushing it and things don't look so good with a build-up of troops on the border with Ukraine.
