I now see a western puppet government who mainly come from western Ukraine wishing to force their views on the people of eastern Ukraine
Funny how the Government you don't want is always a "Western Puppet Government".
The thing about Western Puppet Governments is that you can vote them out, you know, with real elections that allow the people to vote how they wish. You can even get international help to monitor and ensure that the results are genuine, unlike the sham that your boss put in place.
Anyway, its all a sideshow isn't it. This is about restoring the Soviet Union in a new world order where you have new and more powerful friends. To be perfectly honest, I doubt many people on this forum will lose much sleep if the UK Defence Budget gets a boost as a result. In fact, if the recent Bear visits make the case for some decent Maritime Patrol capability, many of us will actually be quite grateful.
