I think you should excuse Barry, he only appears to get carried away and over excited when the victims of war atrocities look like us. I’m waiting for him to call for sanctions against the US, UK and their client Saudi Arabia for the ongoing genocide in Yemen. 250,000 people and climbing, hospitals, schools, air raid shelters bombed. But I won’t be holding my breath. ---

I think you want to be careful what you wish for. Depending how this goes, Putin may fancy having a little nibble at NATO, and what happens then if the West’s response under treaty obligation is as shit as the one that is happening now?
