A must-read. Especially for the people who don’t know anything about Ukraine or Russian politics/history & never cared until now.
I’m frequently staggered though not surprised as just how inept, short-sighted and self-serving the politicians of this world seem to be. 20 years after Putin destroyed Chechnya whose only crime was to be resource rich and not want to be ruled from Moscow any more; 14 years after Putin invaded the sovereign nation of Georgia and whilst continually trying to support dictators across the world and threaten peaceful neighbours close to home, even having soldiers in nations such as Moldova and yet the great and the good seem either to not have thought Putin to be a tyrant or at least they didn’t care about his victims enough to stand up to him.
It all started with idiot George W. Bush and continues up to modern day eccentric Napoleon Macron, with a whole lot of people in between.
I think it can all be best summarised by the great man…
