Thanks Foxy,

Good analysis by Stan Grant. Putin is not to be trusted, but he is a product of the West and we have to manage him carefully, if we want to avoid an all out war.

Dear Paul,

So much depends on what Putin's going to do next.
And how the West will react.

OMG you never listen to anything do you Foxy?
- Except the stuff that reinforces you flawed opinions and beliefs anyway
And your brain become more entrenched in those flawed beliefs

Did I or did I not mention UN right to self-determination a few weeks back?

BREAKING! Putin: Russia To Decide TODAY Whether To Recognise Donetsk & Lugansk As Independent States
http://youtu.be/5Y_qHzl_vOg

I support Donetsk and Luhansk as independent States.
Putin doesn't have to steal anything or invade anyone.
But that doesn't change the issue of a NATO Ukraine and the issue of the US placing weapons on Russia's border.

You're too much of a bloody muppet to see that it's the West that's the aggressor.

All this talk of a war, puts money into NATO coffers and helps justify their existence, with every western country offering the weapons to arm and embolden Ukraine to start a war themselves.

Must be pretty hard on them having a chunk of their country sliced off legally under UN provisions after a botched western overthrow.

Maybe they will have some more sliced off soon too.

Armchair Critic,

This is the kind of pedantic nonsense
up with which I will not put!
