I see that the oaf Putin gave the UN General Secretary the ‘long table’ treatment; how pathetic is that, I can’t see much point in trying to be sensible with an idiot like that. Overall, though, there seems to creeping escalation, more and more powerful weaponry being sent to Ukraine, the Americans it seems, believe that if Ukraine has the right weapons, it can actually win the war. It wouldn’t be the first time that the US misread a situation. If the Russians find themselves being pushed back, they will probably escalate the war by using weapons of mass destruction that will bring the risk of direct NATO intervention. We live in dangerous times.
