The longer this goes on, the more I see Ukraine as being just another cold war ball for each side to kick around. The initial attack on the Russian economy by the west has just about run its course and now the Rouble has recovered, China, India and most of the rich middle eastern states still back Russia and Putin and he has never been so popular with his own people. I see talk of him being ousted as a matter of course but I'm beginning to doubt that very much, as he has an iron grip on all of the Russian institutions of state and security. Any war of attrition, which this is turning into, will always favour Russia, with its massive resources and with the west declining to go any further than it has, I can't see it going but one way. The west might close its Moscow McDonalds and a few other tokenisms but the fact is, Russia has Europe by the goolies, as we have been idiotic enough to become dependent of Russian energy, which will always be our Achilles heel. We are stuck on the Russian tit. Here in Europe a few years ago the ruling classes in Brussels issued a diktat stating that diesel engines were cleaner than petrol ones, a blatant pile of crap if ever there was one. Any person with an inkling of knowledge of engines knew this was a blatant lie and who benefitted most from it? The German car industry. Here in Britain, following our decades long policy of getting everything produced abroad, we gave up refining our own fuels on a huge scale and guess who refines all of our Diesel? Yep, Russia. There is now talk of Diesel rationing later in the year and if that happens where will our shops get their goods from? Russia holds all the cards, as far as I can see. Gas and electricity are now set to rise by up to 400% in Britain in the next two years and our political class have only added to the crisis by pampering to the ridiculous green lobby. Naturally they're having to quietly backtrack now as their own political futures are in jeopardy. Do you know that 25% of all we pay over here for energy is a green tax? If the war has any benefit for us, it will be the dawning of an energy reality in the corridors of power.


Where all the smart ones over there that created the Industrial Revolution and help modernize the whole world.

You are surrounded by ocean with so many inlets bays and rivers that you should have introduced tidal power in quantity by now. You also can set up unlimited numbers of wind turbines on both land and surrounding sea.

For far too long you have relied on other countries to do the brain and heavy lifting jobs. Invest in a pipe line from the oil fields of Alberta and Saskatchewan to our east coast and we can get not only you the fuel and oil you need but also to the rest of Europe. A second option might even be a Trans-Atlantic pipe line much like the communication cable. You could also get oil or hydro power from Norway. Time for Britain to start thinking out side of the box because your just making the situation worse by buying oil from Russia. That money you pay them is only used to fund the war against Ukraine. Next who's to say, he will be using your own money to attack you down the road.

A conundrum for Grey. If Putin is fighting NAZIs and Trump signs a mineral deal with Ukraine he'll be supporting NAZIs in rebuilding the country, correct? Even if Zelensky resigns the "NAZI" regime will still be in power, Trump helping and supporting NAZIs, what an outcome, did you vote for that? You say you want peace, but the peace Trump is offering is allowing a "NAZI" regime to continue and recover under US guidance.

Do you realize how pathetic you sound repeating that crap. You're beyond hope if you believe that rubbish. I thought every sane person knew that was Putin's excuse for a land grab he thought would be over in a week, but no, there are still some imbecilic fools such as you still around.   

Let's put it this way. It would appear that Trump is willing to do business with NAZIs if this mineral deals comes off, where will you stand then?

I used to look forward to your infrequent posts, they usually carried a few gems, but now your just a deluded idiot spouting such nonsense that it requires me to look for the phone number of the CIA to report a Russian spy operating out of Chattanooga. 



You are full of it. If Trump can get the Ukraine and Russia to sign a peace treaty, then be happy.

The minerals deal will help the Ukraine to rebuild. Do you have a problem with that?

You need to get over your hatred of Trump.

I'm astounded at the stupidity and mental simplicity of some people. When I was working I had a delivery driver who came most days and he was a right nutter, one of those cretinous fools who believed every conspiracy theory he saw on the internet. Right down to the paedophile unit in a pizza shop in New York and Obama being born in Kenya. 

Some folk call themselves Christians yet put out evil rubbish, presumably they don't belong to a normal Christian sect but one of those thjat preach that Trump is the Second Coming of Christ while asking for your money. And you let them vote and walk about in public!



Trump is NOT the second coming. He is a man.

Remarkable that Trump is eager to label Zelensky a dictator in a corrupt country, but not a word against Putin who fits the bill more so. 



The US Government wants to know, what the Ukraine did with the money that Biden gave them.

Many people were opposed to Biden giving them the money and the equipment.



The money was used to buy American military equipment and ammo made in America in American factories. Biden told the world that, so if this present Trump government and Musk are confused like it seems, then every person in America should be worry because they don't have a clue what they are doing when it comes to money.



Biden took the money from the US Treasury and gave it to the Ukraine.

Many US Citizens were opposed to this and to Biden giving them military equipment.

You’ll see the deep state exposed when Trump turns his attention from Europe to the US


The deep state is worldwide, but it is being exposed. It is a shame that Great Britain

is supporting the Ukraine.

It is a very corrupt country. Zelensky is a dictator.


Your full of it Grey and America has no say over 53 Nato countries that support Ukraine



Pete, You are full of it. The US does not have to support the Ukraine, and we can pull out of NATO.


Would it surprise you that most NATO countries would like you out of Nato right now until America elects someone who isn't a chicken with heel spurs and doesn't hate his own servicemen. What he said about John McCain and the gold star families is unforgivable and will for sure go down in American history books for your children and their children for the next thousand years to hear about and probably sing songs about. The song title will probable be called The Orange Faced Chicken.

I am NOT Russian spy. I do support a peace treaty between the Ukraine and Russia.

You seem to have a problem with that. The CIA operates on foreign soil and not US soil.

Since the beginning, the CIA has done more harm than good.

OK kids, lets attack the message & not the messenger. As far as the $ goes, there is billions of $ missing or unaccounted for that was given to the Zelenskyy government. Zelenskyy is a dictator, tyrant, & corrupt to the core as is his country & it has been this way for years. By saying that does not mean I am OK with Putin, & you are pointing out one bad thing to justify another. Putin is every bit as bad as Zelenskyy & in fact worse. 


Stop mimicking Trump and Musk Tommy and show us real prove about Zelensky being a dictator and where the money went to and also where the trillions missing in your own country will be found and in what century.

You need to get over your love of Putin's Russia. I still don't understand how you can condemn Zelensky and Ukraine as a NAZI state yet support the USA helping to rebuild it? Rather like Roosevelt supplying Hitler and painting France and GB as the enemy, in an effort to end the war. If Ukraine is a NAZI state why are you so keen to get US business involved?

Then stop treating everything Trump says and does as if he is the Second Coming. He does not have all the answers, many of his ideas are utterly ludicrous and will weaken the USA and the West to the benefit our enemies.  

I can see that he has some admirable polices on the domestic front, some we ought to adopt over here. I wouldn't be so dismissive of your comments if they weren't so one-sided and rooted in a disturbing adoration of a deeply flawed human with no mental capacity to make things better.

Get rid of the Nazi's in Ukraine. The Ukraine was one of the places, that the Nazi's fled to when

WWII ended. I do not love or hate Russia.

NAZI's in Ukraine? Get rid of your 1940s history books and get up to date. The only behaviour I've seen that reminds me of the NAZIs is from Putin and his crony in Belarus. Trump is an embryo NAZI in the making, he might get there before his term is up.

I don't like depictions like this.  I didn't like it when the far right depicted Obama as Hitler and I don't like it that the far left is depicting Trump as Hitler.  It minimizes Hitler and that is a very dangerous thing to do.  It desensitizes people.  We have elected representatives and senators who are tasked with keeping an eye on the executive branch.

Trump is neither a Hitler nor a Mussolini.  What the democrats, or whoever, are trying to convey is that our Constitution does not work.  It works and it works very well.  Everyone is up in arms over all the executive orders Trump has signed.  Some will stand and some will not.  Some executive powers are clear; some are murky.  The murky ones are already on the way to the judicial branch of the government.
