Or Azov chevrons?This comes back to my human rights and freedom of expression, at the risk of offending someone not sharing my beliefs or values.It's a typical problem of advanced liberal democracies with over-extended diversity. ...

PRISONERS' DILEMMA
Need to get real - there isn't a military soln short of complete destruction.Need to recognise this and head for a negotiated compromise.Reference: try the Prisoners' Dilemma: we are heading for the lose-lose quadrant. A re-think is needed to redirect us to win-win. It can be done if the imagination and intelligence can be found.WHAT DO THEY WANT?AMERICAAmerica seeks to weaken Russia, going back to 1991, 1945 and 1916 and this is clearly stated in the 2019 Rand report RAND_RR3063 which lists strategic initiatives to obtain this. America wants...

CAN THE RoW SHUT THESE TWO BULLIES UP?
09 June 2022How's the Ukraine war going?It is not Zelinsky calling the shots, it's Blinken and the US foreign policy elite.If zelinsky doesn't keep fighting "to the last ukrainien", UK PM Boris - acting no doubt on instructions from Washington - has told him NATO will withdraw its support. What would happen then?Zelinsky couldn't go to his people, after all this suffering and destruction, and capitulate... could he?So he'd have to watch the wrecking ball. Is there any hope for "peace without victory"?There is a hope, it is with the Turkey...

UKRAINE : AN END IN SIGHT?
8 June 2022It is now obvious that Ukraine is losing this war.The fault largely lies with Boris Johnson, doing the British diplomacy for America's sec of State Antony Blincken and sec of Defence Lloyd Austin. With any luck, he'll be gone shortly and that will open up the possibility of a softer line and a peace settlement.There was the Turkish peace process from March which Johnson threw into disarray by telephoning Zelenski and later visiting him, to advise him that if he ever considered negotiation or concession with the Russians, he would...

GREMANY IS RE-ARMING LIKE THE NAZIS
4 June 2022 Germany is rearming like the Nazis, says Putin. The story goes back further than this, according to George Friedman.https://youtu.be/r-8KV_GurLY
Remember that prior to Bismarck, Germany was just a
collection of many little different states, so while from 1492 onwards, Britain, the
Netherlands, France and Spain had their empires, with whom to trade
and grow rich; Germany had nothing.
The Germans unite together very well, they work together
very well, they are super efficient and...

When you look at the countries supporting this war,
you'll find that it's a small proportion of the world's population and

WHEN THE WAR ENDS
3 June 2022A couple of points to make today.The final settlement of this war when it comes in a couple of months or maybe a couple of years will look much like the deal that Ukraine signed and then reneged on at Minsk in 2014 and 2015: - Ukraine will continue to exist as an independent and sovereign country although it will be neutral - Crimea will remain Russian as it pretty much always has been - and the shelling of the Donbas by Kiev will cease because those two oblasts will achieve a measure of Independence.The difference between...
