NATO is committed to supporting Ukraine in the event of any incursion by Russia, as the price for their decommissioning all their nuclear weapons in 2016. Any war involving nuclear superpowers, if, gods forbid it ever starts, is going to be a world war fairly rapidly.

Breaking news on the BBC at the London assembly.. Cressida the Dick saying the Met will investigate the parties in Downing Street and Whitehall. Some difficult questions being asked re public confidence in the police.
Is now? Is now? Blimey how much time did that take. How many videos using actors playing famous fictional police investigators were needed?! They should have been on this first! I often get annoyed about what I see or hear about fictional portrayals of the police because they have scope to severely damage public trust and confidence in the police. But I’m not sure that really is possible at the moment
Yeah, seems very convenient actually. Could you get the following chain of events? Elements of Sue Greys report redacted (when released) as now under Police investigation. Then when the MET inevitably decides there is no further action the information behind the decision is withheld beyond key polished points and that’s your lot?
The obnoxious Nadine Dorries sneering at the press in Downing Street. Have we ever had such a cultureless, tasteless, and classless Secretary of State for Culture.
I saw that, and see her and her colleagues as the most inept, incompetent callous and downright corrupt bunch of charlatans led by a philandering self seeking person with a proven history of lies and deceit.
I’ve been listening to James O’Brien on LBC this morning, and his phone-in question today is “the worst thing Boris Johnson has ever done”. The list which the callers have come up with is staggering, both in the length and depth of his atrocities, and in the fact that the sheer number of them had driven some of them from my memory. I’m finding his statement that the best way to honour the memory of Jo Cox was to “Get Brexit Done” to be near the top of my list at the moment.

I've noticed Boris' readiness to do a bit of needless, jingoistic tub thumping. And the readiness of some sections of our press, to join in. But Britain really is a minor player on the world stage, even more so post Brexit. No one outside the UK is listening to that fool, thank God. What does concern me is the near universal perception in the west, that Russia is the sole aggressor here. If Ukraine is allowed to join NATO, that effectively brings the military reach of the USA even further towards Moscow. Russia has been invaded from the west twice in the last two centuries, once by Napoleon, once by Hitler. I can understand them feeling threatened by NATO.
I completely agree, but in Putin Russia has the equivalent of a Trump or a Johnson given almost unlimited power, with no public accountability whatsoever. Putin is spinning that threat into an excuse, with the braggadocio of every dictator in history, just as Hitler did with Poland.
