I watched Threads the other day (nice night in with my OH - and they say romance is dead!). And I’ve been struck in recent days by the similarity between the initially very-much-background news reports in the early parts of the film and the recent news from Ukraine.
I’ve been there a couple of times - once to a part that’s now annexed, and once not long after the airliner had been shot down with a rocket and massive protests occupied the main square in Kiev. Makes one sad for the folk there who want none of this, but who seem to keep being caught up.
