I thought it was the amateur drama of the big man posturing tsar like for his easily impressed "electorate". Now now, Mr bond, spill the beans - what we're you doing in Russia in '84? Strictly fwiw I was in maputo then. The weather was a great deal better than on soggy Isle. As was the coffee, and coffee, and culture, and women, and cigarillos, and meticals (like now), so weak one could buy anything. I have no idea why I left.
Tashkent airport was worse - we almost froze to death when our rickety propeller driven plane parked in a dark and snowy desolate hellscape for six hours and twenty three minutes. There were no announcements, no explanation for this interminable wait in a freezing cold and dark cabin full of violently vomiting passengers. Lifeless aircraft lay strewn across the snow, visible at times during the howling blizzard which rocked our parked plane, conveniently serving as in-flight entertainment in the horror genre, as the entire airplane rocked and creaked and cracked in highly alarming ways. This dreadful creaking and cracking was always audible when we were propelled precariously through the air; usually masked somewhat in flight by the bone jarring roar of engines as they exuded much black smoke but unfortunately never quite burst into flames, which might have warmed us up a bit. After a rapid freezing process I felt sure we were to be stored to be cooked and eaten at great altitude by the next batch of foolish Aeroflot diners. It was surprising to learn later that it was in fact Uzbekistan's national airport, and not some obscure military base base carved out of the Siberian Tundra. Minus stars weren't available for my Tripadvisor review.

Has Putin really got miles of video of Trump?

Trump praises ‘genius’ Putin for moving troops to eastern Ukraine
Former president says Russian leader made ‘very savvy’ decision to recognise two territories of eastern Ukraine as independent
Trump had obviously read the post I made on Tuesday, despite guerney's attempts to bury it behind two pages of links no-one is interested in.

I have no doubt that we don't know what to do with Putin because he does not fit into our idea of world leaders, so we don't take him seriously until he did what he said he would do.
We still don't know so we just play for time.
Ban a few more Russians from coming here as if it would have some effect on Mr Putin.

Putin has exactly followed the prediction I've made both on Tuesday and earlier that he would move to link Russia to the Crimea from the Donbass region to more completely secure his southern naval fleet.

His tanks have crossed en masse from the Crimea to secure that border area of Ukraine and he's launched an amphibious assault on Ukraines important Mariupol port city on the Azov Sea close to the Donbass region that he already controls. It just remains to connect the two and his key objective is achieved. If and when he gets that remaining part of the Azov Sea border into Russian possession, I can't ever see him releasing it.

He won't remain in all the rest of Ukraine though. This is a repeat of when he attacked Georgia for the same reasons. To teach them a harsh lesson to stay friendly to Russia and not aim to side with the West. With that achieved he withdrew from Georgia and will do so with the Ukraine.

Putin's reply to Boris Johnsons statement, a dose of their weather? ;)

Here in London we've just had a sudden violent hailstorm:

Joking apart, Turkey has once again shown their increasing friendship with Russia, issuing a statement that Russia's incursion into Ukraine should not be seen as an invasion. I warned about this increasing loss of loyalty by a NATO member in this thread back in April 2018:

Information Link

Meanwhile I can hardly believe how idiotic our political commentators are in the UK. Such as predicting that Putin is trying to rebuild the USSR, such as saying he might attack Sweden next.

Neither is remotely possible, Putin will never attack a NATO member, he simply wants to do as he says, prevent any further advance of NATO onto Russia's borders. I totally support him in that objective. Without any shadow of doubt NATO is expressly an anti-Russian organisation, founded by the USA in cold war days for that express purpose.

Until Europe come to its senses, detaches itself from the USA's warmongering policy and makes peace with Russia as Germany wants and advises, we will never have lasting peace in Europe.

Here's a snag witn being too unfriendly with the Russians, the ISS.

Current crew are four from NASA, one fron ESA and two Russians, Anton Shkaplerov and Pytor Dubrov of Roscosmos.

And the Russian Soyuz rockets still service the ISS with all the supplies transport and are the backup for the reusable US spaceship to deliver crews.

Just as during the cold war we are still going to have to remain cooperative.

It seems Johnson's Boss has taken Chernobyl, presumably using the pretext that Ukraine was going to use it to make dirty Nuclear Weapons?

I think it's to stop the West's continuous use of Chernobyl as propaganda against Russia with streams of documentaries and dramas.

There isn't a damn thing we can do about Russia and the Ukraine we may as well await whatever Putin decides to do.

Boris Johnson has made his announcement of our latest sanctions against Russia.

His words said one thing, the broad smile on his face said this:

"Thanks Vladimir, that should clog them with news other than blasted Downing Street parties".

It's ok where it is. There's been huge and totally unnecessary exaggeration about the Chernobyl reactor accident, simply as anti-Russian propaganda. What's left is no different in any way from the 1975 total meltdown at Three Mile Island which has been completely cleaned up, and only half that of the 2011 Fukushima reactors one and two meltdowns which are in the process of being cleaned up.

I liked Dmitry Medvedev's comment about our sanctions when he was Russian PM:

" We know about sanctions, they impose them, we ignore them, and then they come crawling back for the business".

Brilliant, and so true!
