UKRAINE-PROVOCATEUR. (PROVOQUER)

When I am out talking to people; Listening to the radio or watching the news on Television, it s the same message. Oh, poor Ukraine, Putin and Russia is so nasty to them and all the time Zelenskyy /Governmennt and their media  come out with a constant stream of sometimes ,dubius news and stories.

This blog, aims to clarify for Presidents;people in High office and public in general , an alternative view of the catastrophy, that is Ukraine.and its effect on the World,.All of which could have been avoided, with a more experienced and realistic Ukraine leadership and Government.

A little more preamble, where if you are over eighty or recent history wise, here is just a reminder of War in focus.  --- Second World war, the London Blitz-There are still buildings in East London, showing where houses were partially rebuilt. (My late brother in law showed me where he lived, some years agoe); I well remember watching the flashing of the bombing of Bristol, from home in Lydney.Gloucestershire, I have told the tail of going out the next day to see if were any crash landed, English and German aircraft on the muddy flats of the river Severn. One alive German flier and one dead English, with head missing.

Of course the worst single bombing was the allied bombing of Dresden, which a later mature college, colleage was part of. Let all not forget Horoshima and Palestine etc All Hitting the general public.

I am not pro Russia, but I am determined to get  both sides of the story-and here it is

In the second World War, Russia liberated Ukraine from the oppressive German occupation.From then on Russia (As we know it today) had a BUFFER. zone between it and Europe (EU). Fast forward to 2022/3, Russia is determined to keep it that way, plus Crimea (Which has  gone back and forth over the years,plus UK involvement.).

From the war years Ukraine prospered, with infrastructure such as factories, Domestic bloc's of heated flats, Factories; Power plants; transport etc etc. It is a fact that Russia was Ukraine's MAIN TRADING Partner. Of course let us not forget the incredible advances in Agri business, mainly grains with the help of the massive  USA Built John Deere equipment (Not without its service problems, which it seems only John Deere technitions can fix), plus grain handling port of Odessa!and out.to the World..

 It was not long, after President Zeleskyy came to power, that we heard of Ukraine's Government's, bid to join NATO and the EU. It became clear, that Russia objected to the idea and said so. They required the BUFFER Zone and that was how it was going to be..In the European Autumn! Russia began military exercisers along the boarder, indicating its disapproval.

At this point Ukraine, stepped up the rethoric, Zelenskyy and the Ukraine Media  and it has gone on relentlessly to this day. plus of course a constant 'whining' to World leaders, asking for free arms and equipment. In the mean time, it was Ukraine who was first to introduce Marshall law and the calling up of young and older men for military service -Many fled the idea, mainly to Poland, who have their own problems getting through the savage winters.

Boring?, not really. Let us have a look at Ukraines record of self destruction.

1.Meltdown of a  Nuclear ,Power plant, covering Europe with atomic fallout.

2. Borrowed a Russian missile launcher, loaded with missiles, with war heads intended to get close to Fighter aircraft ie depleted Uranium shot (Like a 12 bore shot gun to hit flying ducks etc). The purpose to get near a fighter aircraft and peppering it with shot, decompressing and like a duck would flutter out the air. Hence the terrible incident of the Malaysian Airliner Ukraine currently use USA and others Launchers, for direct, attack on Russian,missiles

3. The misuse of a launcher, where one missile journed into Poland .

4.Attacked an all ready damaged Russia Warship.

5 The latest fun was to attack a Russian base in Russian annexed part of Ukraine!.Yes bombing their own county.

 The ,Moto' is 'If all else fails, READ the INSTRUCTIONS.

  It is no wonder that Russia continues with the barrarge ,whist at the same time thinks of the worlds requirement for Grains etc, allows grain ships to leave. plus endeavouring not to hit the historic buildings in the capitol and others.

So.to the misguided Western World, supply of  Military equipment Australia with its supply of Perssonel carriers- By Air. Very High cost, for a vehicle not really suitable for Ukraine conditions. The USA supply of missile launcher etc and now.Holland wanting to supply German Leopard tanks, how confused can you get

This has been my take on the conflict, which could have been avoided, had Ukraine not voted for a street fighter who is media savvy. It would have been so easy, to find a Diplomatic solution, had the EU people had shut up and not encourage Ukraine to speed up things. I once had a Swiss friend who said All Polititions are brain dead, until proven other wise. Only history will see if he was right,in this case
