Meanwhile in Ukraine...

Oh Maizie what a thought. Yes I bet he's thoroughly enjoying stirring the right wingers up. I don't know what's more dangerous America with an idiot as president or a Russia with a psychopath in charge. The latter I'm beginning to feel.

Terrifying

Putin's playing a blinder, isn't he?

Influenced the Brexit vote to pursue his aim of weakening the EU, influenced the US presidency vote to get an ignorant populist onside and now moving in on the weaker fringes of the EU.

Is NATO going to come to the rescue of Ukraine? I doubt it.

I wouldn't be at all surprised to find that there's a Russian finger in the European populist movements.

We've been once. It's a poor run down sort of place. Still quite a Russian influence perceptible somehow. The Russians must think its theirs for the taking. As if Russia isn't big enough already!

The west sat back when he simply walked into Crimea and took it. This is the result.

Very sneaky and typical of Putin. The Ukrainians need support.

Over the years my son has spent a bit of time in the Ukraine . He is very upset . The people have very little, they don’t need this.

Yep, its a worry. He’s sneaking in while the Europe is looking the other way and while Trump is still president.
