Yes, quite right, absolutely nothing to do with Russia, at all. when a democratic country is invaded by a neighbour it is incumbent on the occupied country to simply roll over and invite the invaders to take over without a fight,

Affordable energy prices or a free & democratic Ukraine?
I'll take the cheap oil & gas Mr Putin, thanks.

Apparently it is too late as most of the Members have left The Pact already, but it seems that Ukraine was suggesting that they might join NATO and Russia wasn't having that.  Although how this entitles Russia to invade Ukraine is a bit much to take.  Russia didn't attack any of the others when they left, but then Russia would have been on a very sticky wicket if they had.

However, Ukraine is right on the border of Russia, along with a couple of other countries who are still in The Pact.

I think Putin has lost his marbles as The West was bound to help to defend Ukraine, but Putin doesn't seem to have seen this coming.  And now of course, it has all escalated way beyond proportion.

Funnily enough, I didn't even know where Ukraine was before this happened.  So nothing lost as far as I am concerned.  The prevailing wind for where I live is Westwards, which means if Putin drops a Nuclear Bomb on Paris all that Nuclear Shite will blow back on Russia.  Has Putin thought about this I have to wonder?

If it gets to that stage I don't suppose it will really matter where the wind blows.

Of course it will matter.  But then this is where Hope comes in, again.  I would much rather die hoping than give up.

Hoping for what?
A major nuclear exchange would be the end of civilisation as we currently know it. The only thing to look forward to would be an early and preferably painless death.

Hoping that I'm not going to die just yet.

There will be no major nuclear exchange.

Until there is, then it's too late.

Given Johnson with his Churchill tribute act and Truss as Thatcher Mk11 an escalation of political hostility is very much on the cards if the West is not careful.

Personally, I think it's Putin who needs to worry.  I don't suppose he wants to die or spend the rest of his life in a fall out shelter.

In the meantime he won't get the time to annihilate the rest of the world.  Think Logistics.  This always helps.

Wave power, wind power and sun power are the only real solutions as I see it.   I don't mind oil fields at sea


I don't want any more nuclear, thank you very much.


Fracking?   Mmmmm?   What happens to the ground later when it is hollowed out below?

When Chernobyl blew up, the radiation was detected in the uk, prevailing winds matter not.
