As much as I am looking forward to seeing Boris’ tenure at number ten come to an end, I have been paying close attention to the news of late to keep tabs on something completely different.
The situation in the Ukraine is bothering me a lot more than Boris’ fuckwittery. Russia is going to invade and one of these mornings I am going to wake up to read that our world isn’t the same anymore.
There is a suggestion that diplomacy may yet prevail, but I don’t believe that for a moment. Putin didn’t move all the troops and equipment to the Ukraine border just to move them all away again.
To read most recently that the Russians are suggesting that the Americans are increasing the tensions and pushing them towards war is utter nonsense. The Russians are trying to spin the narrative and justify their invasion plans.
It has been suggested, by the Russians, that NATO is testing them and that Putin is responding to threats to his national security, but again that is just bollocks. The NATO allies haven’t been moving their troops and equipment to Russia’s borders and threatening to invade.
When the invasion of Ukraine happens, the global fallout is going to be significant, and we’ll all be a lot less secure.
And on the subject of fallout (though this really is a digression), I guess the Russians let Europe fund, design and build the Chernobyl shroud (read earlier post) before making any decision to take the landmass back.
To make matters worse, the Chinese appear to be allying with Putin. A second major superpower with its own expansionist agenda (think Taiwan) might be more inclined to flex its muscles whilst other chaos is underway.
And then there’s North Korea firing its missiles almost daily…
The latest news is that the UK and US governments have instructed their citizens to get out while commercial flights are still available.
War is coming and I am certain that it’s so close that if I spend any more time working on this post, it will be old news. But I am hoping to God that I am wrong.
It’s looking very grim in the east and it’s extremely concerning.
