Ukraine; tragedy and farce.

The tragedy; the NATO proxy war between the Ukraine and Russia is creating swathes of the dead and dying, which, at worse, is pushing the eventual road to a possible nuclear death. And at its 'best' NATO will create yet another total collapse of Russia, the largest country in the world, as a result of a hollow, western 'victory'. The farce; well, just look at Boris and his clowns all firing away behind his own British type NATO called JEF. It was built after eight years of UK pressure. Boris is now apparently the leader of the 'anti-Russia coalition', and now has just overthrown seventy years of neutrality in Sweden and Finland. 

NATO has swollen drastically since the East German wall fell. The Russian leaders, including Gorbachev, agreed that the wall and East Germany would not be over-run, so long as NATO, then with 12 members, did not move across eastern and northern Europe. What happened? NATO rolled eastward and now northward and at present has 30 members. The new honour of Britain's JEFF will add 2 more. Britain's public-school gurus have always wanted a medium type war since the banking crisis of 2008 as a result of the utter military failures of the UK in the Middle East. A serious diversion is also called for in order to cover up the UK's increasing failure in their economy and between its increasingly separate nations.

The good old BBC offers daily summaries about the various results of the battles in the Ukraine. The corporation is careful to make it clear that the BBC cannot exactly offer a fully true description of the military movements, their 'successes' or their 'failures'. From time to time various speculations emerge about the wider canvass and huge considerations bubble up. These bubbles, like the 'withdrawn' of Putin in his speech on May 9 victory parade, when his war planes did not fly because of the rain, was an example. It caused a plethora of commentator sensations. Before the destruction of Mariupol, Ukraine was right, said the western pundits. Ukraine was going to win! Then the battle of Mariupol was over and those creeping but progressing Russians were going to make it a matter of years. Then some BBC 'experts' discovered that the Russians were 8% down on their economy but the Ukraine was 30 to 50% down. (The UK is on 9% inflation.) Oh no! More quick calculations discovered that for Ukraine's recovery it would require much more than the Marshall plan that the US re-built for Germany in 1945 - 8! A new hesitant wave in the West is now speculating about a possible truce.  

Boris's farce continues. He has his war and another battle with the EU. He desperately hopes that the war and the EU clatter will be enough to grab the next General Election. The real crisis in Britain is the shocking collapse of wages, of the millions that are now one and a half percent more declining than the pressure on the wealthy, of the collapsing health and welfare systems and of the mass poverty and hunger.
