Totally agree on that one Hangarshuffle,
There will be no war. All Putin needs to do to shut Camoron and Co down is turn the gas off. Within a week, questions will be asked. But I believe, as I think you suggest, that the downright hypocrisy of both UK and US governments on this are relevant. In 2003 Blair and Bush ignored the UN, lied to their electorates and invaded a sovereign country. That gave Putin all the justification he needs for what is happening now. I've just seen a report that the newly "appointed" deputy security minister in Kiev, is tweeting for help from some radical Muslim terrorist group based in the Caucuses. It's looking a lot like Syria, our politicians jump in on the wrong side, and we find ourselves funding terrorists. Best we lock our pollies up until it blows over I think!
