Politics

[Music Head]

i dont see what all the fuss is in the Ukraine actually....

history:

when the old USSR disintergrated the US/UK got Russia and the then,newly independant States to the table at the UN...
the result was a signed treaty promoted by the US/UK that if any of the States had unrest which could cause the Russian economy to 'go down' that the Russian Govt would have the legal right to enter any of those states to reinstate law and order etc until the year 2020.
now Russia gets a fair whack of its monies from Ukraine, therefore they have every legal right to go in and sort it out.
that said, im not sure that the Russian intentions are 100% to what they agreed on, but they have the right to enter under their UN charter apparently.
again,
that said...both the President and the UK Prime Minister arent doing that great in the opinion polls so they have to do something to try to drag back public opinion...

i think the whole thing by all sides is a stupid game of "political chess" and no more!

anyway, im more intrigued with that Malaysian Airlines plane story at the moment

I agree with you
thanks for the history
think this is such an interesting story when you follow from the beginning
just how world events in politics actually affect the world
most people just don't have a clue of what goes on

and yes SteveO
I don't think the cold war ever left
it just warmed up a little bit
