Russia - worrying?

[killingeve]

You really have a blinkered and distorted view of the role of the USA in the world since 1945.  I do not have time to answer your points, suffice it to say I do not agree with any of them.  You are on the far right of politics, even in US terms, and that is saying something!

As usual you insult those who disagree with you.  I do not insult you, I just say you are wrong.  That is my opinion, honestly held, based on years of reflection and careful analysis of facts, together with political activity.  I may be wrong, but I am not dishonest or insincere.

Are you able recommend any 'light' reading material on the matter?  I've dusted off a copy of 'The Times Consise History Of The World' which I purchased during lockdown but never got round to reading it.  Is this any good for an overview?

What is it tonight Cambridge? A four pack of Ukranian Obolon to show solidarity?

Guzzle Guzzle Guzzle...

Never heard of it but I'll look out for it in 31 days time after a month of abstinence   

Have you visited US and Russia?

The world needs more female leaders!  Imo men are by nature predatory creatures!

Is that the 'boys with toys' view of men and weaponry? There is probably some mileage in that view.

Imagine a USA run by Marjorie Greene, Lauren Boebert and Sarah Palin

Golda Mier and Indira Gandhi were both involved in wars, though I think in Mier's case it was thrust upon her. I suppose you could argue the same for Thatcher in '82.

Russian artillery and missiles striking civilian areas.

It seems that in weeks before this conflict that red crosses were painted on rooftops and certain areas of the town. The paint is luminous and they're being used as guides for the Russian paratroopers. 

Didn't anyone see what was coming ?

[David1819]

Apartment buildings bombed.

All this while the madman is holed up in his bomb-proof home in Siberia and nobody can do a thing about it.

Hitler had his "Eagles' Lair". I see other similarities.

Power-hungry madmen Jane. You wouldn't know what his next move would be but he's itching to start WW3. Everyone's suffering because of one man, it doesn't make sense. It would have to be one of his own to end it all.
