Isn’t it strange that the UK cut its foreign aid budget yet all this Ukrainian assistance is now miraculously available to be delivered?
FB restricted me for quoting The Internationale against war.
Cold Response military exercise – 35,000 NATO troops, 50 vessels and 200 aircraft to Norway a few hundred kilometres from the Russian border.
Routine regular exercise. No provocation, at all
Germany has warned that an immediate boycott of Russian gas and oil supplies could hurt its own population more than Vladimir Putin, bringing mass unemployment and poverty.

So Russia’s main source of income, oil and gas, will continue to finance the war.
I wouldn’t be too concerned about the Express AC, the Viz has more accurate news coverage than the Express.
The demand to “Hang the Kaiser” is already being raised:
“Vladimir Putin will be “held responsible” for war crimes in Ukraine at the international criminal court in The Hague, the health secretary, Sajid Javid, has pledged, saying the UK would help gather the necessary evidence.
The justice secretary, Dominic Raab, was travelling to The Hague on Monday to help make sure that “when that prosecution comes, the court will have what it needs”, Javid told BBC One’s Breakfast programme.”But if they are going to apply victor’s justice they are going to have to win first.
A Chinese official today said we have never been so close to a nuclear holocaust.

Not in her name
Russia’s Channel One, protester Marina Ovsyannikova, recorded a video in which she called events in Ukraine a “crime”.
“I’m ashamed that I allowed myself to tell lies from the television screen. Ashamed that I allowed Russians to be turned into zombies,” Ovsyannikova, an editor at the channel, explained.
She called on the Russian people to protest against the war, saying that only they could “stop the madness”.
Ovsyannikova is now in police custody.
The USA appear to be promoting the news that China will actively support Russia.
However, it is conspicuously failing to share its raw intelligence sources with other NATO countries.
A stratagem to warn off China? Or it could have unintended blow-back involving China even more?
