Mr Putin is a gentlemen much in the news of late, and living where I live his actions, and intentions are of a heightened interest for me. I would ask that he stops doing a passable impersonation of  Mr Hitler, annexing a part of a sovereign state on the grounds that he is riding to the aid of a beleagured ethnic group of the same, or very similar ethnicity. What a sham to see him abide by a vote within that foreign  state, the result of which was a foregone conclusion, so now we know why he actually recognised such a  democratic process. One sham being recognised by another sham.
He has calculated, as did Mr Hitler, that the world will not plunge into war on account of his minor rearrangement of states and borders. But sad to say it was also, at best hollow and at worst treating the public as if they have no memory of anything beyond a few months ago, to see and hear Mr Kerry denouncing the annexation, invasion or rescue according to your viewpoint. How does the US expect to be taken seriously after rewriting the international book of law to suit its own geopolitical goals and aims.Add another sham to the list, I don't mind if I do, and half a lager and a packet of crisps, please! Talking of food, it is time for breakfast.
