Ok, not football at all, but it matters, eventually.

Tad touchy tonight or an attempt to provoke ?

I was replying to Spaldy & not extemporaneously, to give someone intetested the information to understand something regarding the global economy competition facing his country, the USA & the effects of external cyber security to global economies & its effects on populace including America & little old UK.

Of course i could have included the rise of African influence with regard to Trumps trading plans or the fact African governments have increasingly welcomed economic, diplomatic & security ties with Russia, leading Western countries to denounce what they see as Moscow’s destabilizing influence too.

But i shall refrain from comment on how Russia "actually" thinks now on the USA under Trump, despite the fact a family member with boots on the ground is living in Moscow working for French media tv there currently & who has access to news conferences including Putins comments uttered today & the Trump effect on Russian people as to the perceived effect read by some outside of that country.

Anyway, your greater knowledge no doubt would denounce all that as not being acceptable & unworthy for Spaldys attention & indeed for your own grey matter.

To coin your favoured phrase when trying to belittle me, "you let yourself down there".
So i'll throw said phrase back on you & take my unwanted recently sharpened quill elsewhere.
Good evening.

And the fact.you have a family member working in Moscow is supposed to engender sympathy, understanding, empathy even? Go to the Ukraine fromtline where doctors, teachers, streetsweepers, nurses and so many other "normal" people have been drawn into conflict not of their making but who felt compelled to resist. THEN get alll pilosophical.

Careful, if you bash those keys any harder you may do yourself an injury.

MT sure the rest of us understood what you were trying to say.
