Re: Keeping the powder dry
I do wonder whether Putin would have calculated this particular atrocity if the UK were not busy Brexiting: we are much weaker; other countries already take us much less seriously; our clout is declining rapidly;
That has been happening steadily since the decline of the Empire and the Royal Navy as the World's most powerful naval fleet. Exiting the EU will enable the UK to exist happily as a trading nation. The EU is an ever more tightly controlled club of former colonial overlords marinating in their own ideals (and huge debts) whilst others just get on with business. I honestly believe the only future for the UK is to break free and trade - we used to be bloody good at it when we weren't subjugating folks. The EU will rapidly disappear up its own arse.
