If Britain Wasn’t So Addicted To Russian Money, It Might Have Been Able To Stand Up To Putin
A sorry tale of a failed state
Not unless you are completely switched off from social media or technology altogether, would you be oblivious to what’s going on in the world right now.
Russia, as I type, has begun invading Ukraine, a sovereign territory, with a view to preventing it from building ever closer ties with the west and the wider world.
The west in all of its previous undertakings hasn’t been blameless; we can point to the Iraq and Libyan wars in 2003 and 2011 respectively as evidence of its extraordinary corruption and duplicitousness in recent times.
When we delve deep into 19th and 20th century history, we are left with an abiding sense of corruption being the raison d’etre of the west and its “countless interventions” across the disparate parts of the globe.
I have no wish no rehash these points here. Instead, I will embed my old articles for those who are new to my thoughts to read and allow them to form their own judgement on the current state of affairs.
The objective of this post is how British corruption has enabled Russia’s 21st century militarism.
