Haven’t we been here before ?

 

War on another front would be a problem for Russia. Bet the CIA are in Chechnya as we speak.

 

That’s not what I meant

 

Then you're too cryptic for me

 

Good sense

 

What I meant was that it just seems, to me anyway, we could be backing someone who has declared a “holy war/Jihad” against what we feel is a common enemy in a war in a foreign country……haven’t we done this sort of thing before ? And how did that turn out ?

Of course the fact that we in the west are also backing a side that seem ok with murdering school kids, really doesn’t sit right with me.

 

Agree, we have to take care that if Chechyan rebels are armed by the West, the weapons don't find their way to Al Quaeda, Taliban or similar

Don't understand your comment about murdering school kids.

 

They, the Chechyn Jihadists, are the same that carried our the Beslan School masacre in September 2004 in which over 300 innocent people, were killed, many of them school children.

 

Yes, good point. That was shocking.

 

I’m not a lover of O’Brien and disagree totally with his views on Brexit…..however I can’t fault what he’s says here

 

They'll also have the good sense to not commit economic suicide by leaving the EU.

 

Are Poland a net contributor to the EU or a net beneficiary?

 

No idea.

 

Plenty of Remainer hyperbole in that statement, given that all EU states are in financial meltdown as a result of the pandemic

 

It's a net beneficiary, but it will become a net contributor in the next 10 years

 

I think you have mate………and thus I guess your first statement would be correct.
To come out of the EU, for Poland, could quite possibly be “economic suicide”

 

The EU leaders must have their cake…….

 

All analysis shows that Brexit has done massive damage to the UK economy.

None of them chose to exacerbate that for no reason though. You can be the most pro-Brexit, freedom-loving patriot in the world but surely we can all admit it’s an economic clusterfuck.
