RE: RE: Putin Hasn't Got The Balls15 Feb 2022 10:48
So Lithuanian and Russian fishermen in Cornwall know what's going on in the minds of Putin, his military strategists and his military leaders. 14,000 dead in Eastern Ukraine in the last few years, Russian agents poisoning former Russian citizens in the UK and doing the same to opposition leaders and journalists who call for change. I think we would be wise to treat Putin as an enemy of western democracy and dangerous to all we stand for. Having said that I fully understand Putin's concerns about NATO moving closer to his borders but its not just NATO he's concerned about its democracy which would see the end of his dictatorship and he probably would see the rest of his days out in prison where he's sent plenty who threaten his position. He has to stay in power to survive. Belarus will become a democracy sometime in the future and Finland given the chance would join NATO. Having spent time in Finland I know how much they loath the Russians.
Hopefully Putin will see sense and withdraw not just troops but the rediculous amount of hardware he has shipped to the border.
