Thank you Baron for explaining that to me.  

As for Putin going to church, nothing would surprise me what this man does anymore.  He doesn’t seem to care what his people think about him or other countries.  

 

Nothing unusual there.

Thatcher,Blair,most American Presidents have claimed a strong religious belief whilst their actions seem contradictory.

Good - they’re all the things that have led to this latest  war in the first place.

Russia! 

Possibly. 

However my money would be on America. Not directly of course but through a proxy.

So Lavrov & Putin are making all sorts of threats about "the West" supplying arms to the Ukraine.

They are such effin' hypocrites.

What were they doing in Korea and Vietnam for years on end. And, particularly in Korea, they actually had Russian pilots fighting there.

Ignore them I say.

Well, supplying arms to one side in a conflict is one thing, but this latest development escalates the conflict to another level.

 

"The UK’s armed forces minister said earlier that Britain backs Ukrainian troops carrying out strikes in Russian territory" - The Guardian

 

Meanwhile, the West, safe from the front lines, is "fighting a proxy war" with it's mortal enemy Russia.

 

But who's doing the heavy lifting?

‘Women need to be ready’: the Ukrainian city where mums and daughters are learning to shoot

That's some "military strategy" to fight one of the two mightiest military powers in the World.

Hmm, they look like air rifles and if they are they are absolutely nothing like firing a real gun.

Stinks of more propaganda to me. As for the UK armed forces Minister. What a damn reckless and dangerous thing to say.

Have you ever seen / held a real rifle ?

You know what? I bet they aren't really women fighters either. They will be models, actresses posing for MSM.
