I don't care who governs me - whether its UK, EU or Russia/US. This is Russia's colonial war to take back Ukraine under its governance and rule. Under a right-wing, ruthless government I would simply keep my head down, stop dissenting and shut up. Become anonymous. Resisting, as the Ukraine government is doing, is killing more of their people than Russians. Pointless.
All this murder and mayhem has its seeds in our victorious, vanquishing of Russia in the Cold War and dancing on their grave ever since with extending our 'empire' of EU/NATO to and over the former Soviet satellite states and confronting NATO's No 1 sworn enemy right up to their eastern border. "Standing up to Putin" (Justin Webb on 'Today', today) ever since 1989 when the Berlin Wall came down, is extremely dangerous and foolish and lacking in magnanimity and justice/fairness in victory.
