While we remain without grandchildren, I by times  muse that a nuclear Armageddon would be just the tonic "our" much abused Earth needs right now.

Though I fear if any humans survived, they would simply repeat our mistakes, while telling themselves it would be different this time.

Sigh.

I suspect that the humans who escape unscathed are likely to be the people who got us into this situation. Rinse and repeat...

Whilst I totally disagree with Putins actions it’s incredible to see the clamour for war crimes investigations even at this stage when we have Bush and  Blair still making regular statements on world affairs, both undoubtedly as guilty as Putin ever will be. The media is doing its normal thing and totally pumping the line as it sees fit as it did so effectively throughout the covid farce. I’m in contact with a few of the officers on the vessel I work on regularly, 4 of them are Ukrainian 2 pro Ukraine and 2 pro Russia. The onboard vibe was bad after the Crimea annexation and was only sorted when the vessel master (Canadian) got the whole crew together and gave a strong warning to all regards behaviour whilst onboard. Speaking to both sets of guys yesterday via watts app it’s incredible to see and hear two totally different views on the cause of the current situation, but the thing they are all agreed on is that the conflict is totally unnecessary. As is often the case take bloody politicians out of the equation and things would work out a lot better.

The west can’t condemn Russia in relation to protests and human rights after the treatment of anti vax mandate protestors in the west during the last year. 
 

We don’t have the moral high ground anymore ok so you might as well forget the high and mighty attitude Kevin.

Well it seems fairly obvious that war crimes have been committed during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, so I don't find that particularly incredible.  Bush and Blair's previous actions make zero difference to the guilt or innocence of Putin and those he sends - only their actions do.  Am no particular fan of either Bush or Blair but they are small beer compared to tovarisch Vladimir.
