    The Crisis in Ukraine Is Not About Ukraine. It's About Germany.

    ...the media has been given the assignment of reiterating over and over again, “Russia is planning to invade Ukraine.” What’s left unsaid is that Russia has not invaded any country since the dissolution of the Soviet Union, and that the US has invaded or toppled regimes in more than 50 countries in the same period of time, and that the US maintains over 800 military bases in countries around the world. None of this is reported by the media, instead the focus is on “evil Putin” who has amassed an estimated 100,000 troops along the Ukrainian border threatening to plunge all of Europe into another bloody war.

    The real target, however, is not Russia, but Germany. Check out this excerpt from an article by Michael Hudson at The Unz Review:

    “The only way left for U.S. diplomats to block European purchases is to goad Russia into a military response and then claim that avenging this response outweighs any purely national economic interest. As hawkish Under-Secretary of State for Political Affairs, Victoria Nuland, explained in a State Department press briefing on January 27: “If Russia invades Ukraine one way or another Nord Stream 2 will not move forward.” (“America’s Real Adversaries Are Its European and Other Allies”, The Unz Review)

    If you want to update your Facebook profile from the Rainbow flag , BLM or I'm vaccinated there's a Ukraine one now.

    Showing the World how virtuous you are with empty platitudes changes everything.

    If Boris bans Swift transactions it's going to be awkward when Germany and all the other countries reliant on Russia get there gas bills .

    Obviously Putin will cut off the supply and prices will skyrocket.

    Sounds like a great plan .

    Then you'll understand why I got out of there as soon as I could! Seriously, it was a lovely place to me in the '60s and '70s growing up there: decent-sized, three bedroomed houses that we looked after, good school, tree-lined avenues and greens, and parks everywhere, and about 1-in-20 families unemployed: by the 80's it had turned into Dodge City with mass unemployment, drugs, burglaries (I truly don't remember ANYONE getting burgled in the '60s or early '70s). We had fantastic neighbours too, until the 80's - then it became 'problem-families' on either side.

    My late parents bought the house for next to nothing in the early '90s, and my niece lives there now. Politically I was against selling council houses, but it has to be said that when I go there now and stay at my nieces, where most people have bought their homes off the council, it's completely different than the 80s, with people taking pride in their homes and their area. It's not as good as the '60s and early '70s when people did that anyway, but there you go.
