Frank, what is that powerful body the EU doing about the Russian threat to Ukraine?
It seems that the unelected rulers of the EU can do what the fuck they like, so the EU should be kicking Russian arse with its population of 448 million. But no, an oil pipeline is being built from Russia to Germany. Various EU countries, from Germany downwards are begging for the Russian Sputnic V anti-covid vaccine. Putin gave this vaccine the OK to be used in Russia before even the stage 3 testing of it had begun. "Do ya feel lucky, punk?". Well I hope that it works. But if it does work then the EU will have to be gracious to Russia for a long time into the future and ignore Russian foul play worldwide.
Meanwhile the UK is doing its best through diplomatic channels and the Russian Ambassador is being called into a meeting to be made aware of the displeasure of the UK government.
