First night of the woodworking evening class tonight and what a thrill that was! The course leader spent five minutes explaining a bewildering array of things and then said 'allright - grab some wood and do what I did. See you back here in 10 minutes for. Then everyone started sawing and chiseling. I started panicking. Starred at the wood for a bit, pondering what this all meant. Then got on with things. Repeat ad nauseum for a hectic two and a half hours and then I was sitting in a sweat with a couple of not-quite-embarassing wood joints, and feeling like a man of the people."We're not f*cking Burundi" - Big Phil

Interestingly the main outcome, all based on rumours, is the US sending even more troops to surround Russia. For such an aggressor, they seem to be surrounded by US peaceful killing machines to such an extent as to look like aggression towards them. Case in point - how the US went mad when a few weapons were flown to Cuba. And yet here we have the Western media getting high on anonymous stories that coincidentally always result in the US becoming even more of an aggressor 'for the greater good'. Bear in mind that the main build up of weapons centred on Russia happened in the 1990s long before Putin.

Hopefully as she gets older she can practice some breathing techniques that may help.???

Indeed an unlikely ally that has pumped tens of millions into the Tory party << insert double rolleyes.emoticon>>
And now their tame head of police in the Met finally decides to open an investigation just in time for them grab another few weeks of hiding behind.
Extraordinary that the direction of all policy in British politics since Gordon Brown has been guided solely by internal Tory infighting. There was a nice little bit of analysis on R4 this morning of how Teresa May probably became PM by accident that leads to a really intriguing 'what if'

As does Punisher.
It helps if you treat them as homages in a way to different genres and time periods.

The troops may be there, and regularly are, its the interpretation of the troops that is the rumours. But these unsubstantiated stories always somehow end up in more aggression towards Russia. Like the whole stories a few months ago about how China might invade Taiwan, that turned out to be domestic Taiwanese stories to pressure the US Congress to approve selling more weapons. I don't think its always the case, but it is often the case, that when we suddenly hear a lot of stories about some errant state, there's an underlying thing that the US wants to do, but needs a news story to justify doing it. In this case, sending troops to Ukraine. Bear in mind, its not the first time, or even the second time, that there have been stories about the build up of troops near Ukraine, and it has generally been followed by arms sales agreements and then forgetting about it again until the next bright plan to dump more expense on a very poor country.
If nothing else, this current issue is geared, largely in my little mind, as a stress test for German power within NATO/EU.
The timelines are hardly a co-incidence Olaf Scholz replaces Merkel and within 30 days we have this kind of escalation.

2) Inflation is broadly always a global phenomenon, the american consumer appetite for goods affects the rest of the world, not just the US

Sure. And the solution to the crisis is... the same LNG that Trump was trying to push. Of which the US can't get rid of at the moment.

Pure ageism on my part, but seems like a waste of time for these still capable pensioners. Write a movie for them instead of putting them through the motions.
