Never fear, our fearless PM has announced a fresh round of sanctions or Russia,
Putin is trembling and will soon see the error of his ways.

I think I've seen one of the few useful comments from Paul1405- I probably just haven't been looking closely enough. Kudos

The Chinese and the Russians have been probing the west for a while- like flashers at the train station.

But it's interesting to consider that parts of the West are on the side of the Chinese- delicious hall of mirrors.

I found this interesting. It might even be accurate.

Foxy,

Your sources only report on half of the issue:

"Trump lauded the move in an interview on the conservative radio program The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, calling Putin "a guy who's very savvy."

The ex-president claimed Putin would have never thought to invade while he was president, blasting Biden for what he called “no response” sanctions, though Trump did not suggest what punishments he thought Russia should receive."

Essentially, he was pointing out the feeble response by Biden to the Russians.
