Sir - Why are so many governments in the west getting in a tizz about the Russia/Ukraine situation. The people in Crimea and mostly Russian speaking and lean towards their "motherland". If they want to be part of Russia then why can't they?
Its amazing that the governments of both this country and America see Russia's presence there as an act of war. REally, amazing really when you think that the Yanks have sent troops to more countries than I can remember - and on numerous occasions dragged our soldiers with them.
We are in no match whatsoever to send troops and take on Russia, with all the cuts to our armed forces, and I can't see our brave soldiers wishing to get involved anyhow.
I mean their reward for fighting overseas battles is for their families to be given homes that are shabby , and once their army days are over come home to the dole queue.
