    Funny thing is I've been telling Archers about the NATO agenda for years, as bad as the EU agenda, but once people in Europe are freezing their bolloxs off in winter and people can't afford to eat, they will gradually see sense and splinter.

    Sounds like the whole of Europe inc us could be affected if they don't sort out the problems with this Nuclear plant, we will all be popping pills of potassium iodide if that leaks, hope Boris has got a bulk order in.

    The day that goes off I hope the wind is blowing any way but west <laugh>

    Boris would have had us number one for these tablets like he did with the vaccines, but thanks to Piskie he's moving on now and I can't see Liz or Rishi being as competent. Basically, we are all going to die slow painful deaths.

    Thanks Pisk.

    Pisk will probably just about escape it down in his little corner of Cornwall, hopefully they are ready to take on a mass migration of British refugees down there.

    So Zelensky wants all Russian tourists banned, regardless of where they live...

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/08/08/ukraine-zelensky-interview-ban-russian-travelers/

    Quote:
    Some critics have argued that banning all Russians would unfairly impact those who have left their country because they disagree with President Vladimir Putin’s government and his decision to attack Ukraine.

    Zelensky said such distinctions don’t matter: “Whichever kind of Russian … make them go to Russia.”
    End Quote.

    Then 2 days ago an Italian paper reported the following, I can't show you the actual source because it's subscription...

    https://www.lanotiziagiornale.it/ze...agenzia-immobiliare-smentisce-lindiscrezione/

    Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky rented his villa in Forte dei Marmi, in Tuscany, for 50,000 euros a month to a couple of Russian citizens. The news was published on the front page by the newspaper Il Tirreno .

    Ouch!

    Z is wrong on this one. I understand his animosity as should anyone, but he is wrong. Several reasons:

    1) Russians coming to the West probably skew more to being anti-Putinists.
    2) It's soft targeting the economy. Tourists bring money out of their domestic market and into the destination market. You don't financially punish a country by making them vacation at home.
    3) You gain appreciation and understanding by building bridges not walls. They're less likely to have an anti-west viewpoint if they spend time in the west and build an emotional attachment.
    4) Putin won't rule Russia forever. When Russia stops being aggressive, it's in both sides best interest to foster good relations. Yes. Financially punish Russia to put pressure on them to change. Break from them economically and cut dependence... But no reason to spit in their soup.

    I agree, but mainly because I don't blame the Russians for what has happened. Putin is the sole instigator, in his mind he got poked constantly with a big stick, for what he saw as the expansion of the EU and NATO and he reacted to it, in the only way anyone will listen to him. Also us feeding the Ukrainians arms, just makes me feel as if it's a proxy war on behalf of the Americans, because it's what they do under the administration of Biden/Pelosi and Co, next stop China (Taiwan) as the occupation in Afghanistan has been terminated. And us (UK) to somehow show how independent we are from the rest of Europe. Sadly everyone has an ulterior motive and we are all going to suffer financially because of it.

    It absolutely is a proxy war between the West and the Russians. No doubt about that. It's important we stick it out too. China is watching. If we fold they'll take Taiwan knowing we have no stomach to hold out long term... After that it's only a matter of time before proxy wars become real wars against Russia and China.

    I do think Putin was always going to invade anyway. We're entering the second era of imperialism and I think we're going to see more countries looking to expand their borders again now.

    He made sure Chechnya didn't get their independence and has already taken land away from Moldova and Georgia even before Crimea. He's just looking for excuses to invade, I think Ukraine courting NATO was just a good excuse to steal land from them. Putin wants his empire back. The only real defence anyone in Eastern Europe has to not be invaded by Russia is to be part of NATO.

    Based on all the white-blue-white protest flag, I don't think this is a Russia problem but a Russian leadership problem. Russia isn't the enemy, Putin's government is.
