Iv Got to say; If the Russians wanted to put Sonic Missiles in Scotland facing England Like America wants to put them in Ukraine facing Russia; Id think Boris would feel threatened too like Putin does.

Side Bar - Great to see Mariella Frostrup here, you can recognise someone who has real experience and broadcasting presence, not one of those 'youtube' kids who have zero life or real broadcasting background, hiding behind their giant mics.

Aw come on - alot of commentators were advising that *this was going to happen* ... best chance, long-term, is doing what Pooty-Poos did to us, that is fiddle with his "electorate" and so work to get him kicked out...

During the 1962 Cuba issue, USSR is portrayed (in the west) as the aggressor, they wanted to place their weapons on the USA border. The defender, USA raised their right to defend their border. In response, the aggressor, USSR, withdrew and this prevented loss of life.


The aggressor today is NATO who want to place their weapons on the Russian border. Like USA in 1962, Russia has raised their right to defend their border. NATO WARMONGERS, the aggressors today, are refusing to withdraw and are therefore responsible for every life that is lost.

NATO warmongers are fully at fault as they broke 14 treaty agreements that Russia sadly let slide, and were about to weaponize Ukraine. Thankfully on this occasion Russia stood up and said NO! to NATO warmongers. I am ashamed that my British nation behaves like this, we have learnt nothing from our vile colonial past.
