Some confusions about cart/horse ordering I guess. The reality is that Putin has *always* wanted the old USSR back. Anything else is window dressing for the marks. His POV is the old Tzarist empire, etc.

Insufficient privileges to reply.
I did. Well, to be more precise, I said that the EU repeatedly poked a tyrannical bully in the eye by stirring the pot in the interests of its corporate sponsors who were keen to get their stickies onto some of Ukraine's juicy primary resources... whilst simultaneously prostituting itself to the same tyrannical bully on behalf of its er... corporate sponsors.

I don't think it is at all boring @Mick P. I think it is the perfect storm and watching the end of the conservative party will be wonderful fun.
And the part of the perfect storm that is funniest is outlined by Farage thus:
"It just says everything doesn't it, he doesn't really care about our history, he doesn't really care about our culture. This man is not patriotic; doesn't believe in the country, It's people, it's history and frankly, it's culture; if you are patriotic don't vote for Rishi Sunak"
I understand you are abstaining this year, you are obviously a patriot so here you go:

Here's an old article from 2022 in The Conversation: Two cheeks of the same @rse in my view

Ukraine war follows decades of warnings that NATO expansion into Eastern Europe could provoke Russia
Ukraine war follows decades of warnings that NATO expansion into Eastern Europe could provoke Russia
Lost in the outrage over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is the fact that many in the West have long warned that widespread NATO expansion into Eastern Europe could spark just such a conflict.

Ed Davey was appointed as the Postal Minister 2010 - 2012 by Cameron under the coalition. He was not well regarded as a Minister by the PO and was nicknamed by the business as the minister without a brain. He lacked strategic skills and was hopeless on deployment. Having a degree does not make anyone a good minister.

The Post Office? That paragon of business acumen and ethics? Their opinion can do one.

I think the point is that Putin has always wanted the Russian Empire back.
His hero is Peter the Great. An ruthless autocratic leader who transformed a rural backwater into the third largest empire in history by waging war and conquering neighbouring countries.
To be honest I don't really know. The current crop of MPs have screwed up big time and they will never be forgiven for that. There are lots of astute newbies waiting in the wings and it's all down to how they present themselves and how Starmer performs.
We will just have to wait and see.
2010 was the time when the PO was a state run business and was regarded as one of the best postal services in the world.The Post Office? That paragon of business acumen and ethics? Their opinion can do one.

Horizon? That went well. Crozier seems to have distanced himself conveniently. I can’t take any PO opinion seriously. Sorry.

The EU loans to Ukraine were always wrapped up in neoliberal conditionalities (privatisation, deregulation, spending cuts and austerity) which is why Yanukovych was looking at the Russian options when the popular movement was to join the EU.
Even now the much vaunted G7 loan to Ukraine is only going to be paid from the interest on frozen Russian assets.

Wait and see? Nah, I’m starting my moaning now!
I can't blame you because the PO of today is not the same as it was.
That will give the impression that you are a professional moaner, surely you wouldn't want that.

Today? Horizon was 1999 onwards was it not? If you want me to take your fanboy PO love seriously then cite some independent references. Not hearsay.
There is a lot more that will be coming out. I am not a fanboy, I simply worked for the PO for 22 yrs.

You had a direct part in that. You were a very active part of the culture who cashed-in on all the advances the trade unions had fought for, took the gold plated pension for yourself, stabbed everyone else in the back and embraced privatisation. Tories always gonna Tory.
