Oh dear even very intelligent men swallow the garbage about dangerous times.

We want to play spies, we should do it, not start crying in our borsch when something we don't like happens. We encourage Russian money, launder drug money via London Estate Agents, so stop whining when the mafia Russian plutocrat criminals come here and do a bit of their thing.

Russia is a weak and fearful country. It is afraid of itself and the West. It has a clever leader, but he knows where the power lies and where his OWN stolen money is invested. He won't attack the west because he has a vested interest in preserving it. He can profit from de-stabilisation, but not from destruction. He's trying out a pre-brexit Britain for size is all - and every news report from Salisbury is a fluffy little clockwork British lion whimpering in the cold.

Be afraid, be very afraid, it's the new opiate of the masses. Of course our government colludes in it. What does more for an unpopular government than a common enemy? The Argies saved Mrs Thatch. Does Mrs May see herself astride a snarling Russian bear instead of her myopic hubby?
