I was sure someone would have blamed it on Thatcher by now but that's close enough :)

Fair play to her. Time to skip town methinks.

 


 

"In her comment Ms. Martin also noted that she does not possess a deep knowledge of reality of the situation in Crimea. As such we’ll be sending her to Crimea to give her an opportunity to make up her own mind from the epicentre of the story."

 

However, Martin subsequently tweeted that she would not be going to Crimea, despite the statement put out by RT.

 

Huff

Newsnight are running with that.

Will be interesting to see where she turns up next. Some kind of morgue would be my guess.

Still would

The rumble and squeak of tank tracks, the sound of the 20th century
Lights are back on in the silos as they check out their killing inventory
But we don't care about Ukraine or if the Russian bear's victorious
Let's get back to our prurient obsession with the sins of legless Pistorius

Sergei Lavrov's continuing denial that Russian troops are operating beyond their bases in Crimea is a staggering lie given the evidence.  It would also suggest they have no interest in trying to find a "reasonable" resolution to the crisis.

 

Chatting about the situation with a colleague last night and his analysis was blindingly simple: If the revolution succeeds in Ukraine then Belarus will be next. After Belarus the threat of democratisation moves to Russia itself, a scenario Putin will do anything to avoid. Ergo, Putin will risk a war with anyone in Ukraine because he views events there as an existential threat to his own regime.

 

Clear, simple and quite possibly correct.

This is nothing to do with "democratisation".  It's about energy, as usual.

 

If it was about democratisation, we wouldn't be supporting some deeply unsavoury characters, presumably.
