Very many thanks for this link. How right YOU and he was: "Henry Kissinger warned NATO not to expand to the East"
You wrote, "What's needed is a bit of imagination!" YES, John. It needs a little thought, the very ordinary mind of a Russian chess player and empathy to work out that many Russians would be very unhappy at the serious imbalance between the West and Russia, from the ever eastwards march of the American led West taking over former USSR satellite states.
I have now started reading my second Robert Harris novel, 'An Officer and a Spy', about the Dreyfus affair at the end of the 19th century that further convinced Herzl that he was right over Zionism and the urgency of making a homeland for the Jews in Palestine.
"Theodor Herzl was an Austro-Hungarian Jewish journalist, lawyer, writer, playwright and political activist who was the father of modern political Zionism. Herzl formed the Zionist Organization and promoted Jewish immigration to Palestine in an effort to form a Jewish state." Wikipedia
The novel shows how one wrong can never be righted with more wrongs. It encourages more wrongs.
In fact, don't do an obvious wrong in the first place! It has led to a second century of killings far worse than the first century. The last century being noted for the massacres of both Jews and Muslims/Arabs/Palestinians. The wrong of the Ultimate Solution never worked and led to more wrongs to this very day. A Solution that was never a solution and has simply heaped wrongs, problems, injustices one after the other in a downward spiral of horrors.
MY CRUSADE TO RIGHT A SOLUTION LOOKING FOR A PROBLEM to right!
Since the 1980s, I've been taking an interest in the idiocy of rebuilding the tram network on the railway network, only twenty years after the idiots in charge had totally wiped out the first electric tram network, much preferring air polluting diesel buses.
Three mainline railways were chosen to be turned into tramways. In 2016, I heard that the Bristol to Brum railway line via Kings Heath and Moseley was no longer destined for trams. Ever since, they have been rebuilding the three railway stations needed to reinstate a half hour commuter, diesel train service. SUCCESS!
However, still no-one is interested and I remain isolated! Hence, this e-mail campaign by individuals to SELECT, COPY, PASTE this in blue:
I am prepared to pay every person £10, by bank transfer, as my reward to them for sending this suggestion to TfWM/WMCA :
You have declared a Climate Emergency in 2019.
Therefore, for reasons of Climate Justice and social justice, divert the £6.1 billion for trams to be spent by 2032 AND, redeploy the huge workforce from Metro tram expansion to URGENTLY insulating, solar powering and making highly energy efficient EVERY council home of the poorest in the region.
And, incentivising car commuters to free up the road network for essential vehicle users by extending Fare-Free Public Transport from my OAP age group to EVERYONE.
DON'T REPLACE BUSES AND TRAINS WITH TRAMS - make buses and trains irresistible!
FORWARDING to me the proof of the emails being sent with sort code and account number gets you my reward!
