I wonder if those who advocate negotiating with Putin will learn anything from the event.


I think it was Golda Meir who said, you don't negotiate with someone who has come to kill you.

I don't disagree with 95% of that but would suggest that while it's longer route supplying Crimea across the Black sea into Yalta or Sevastopol isn't beyond the realms of imagination for a country with as many people as Russia

Out of interest, who are "Z-live news UK"? I'm assuming they're reputable because I keep seeing links to their Ukraine stories on those annoying Microsoft 'stories you'd be interested in' links, but I've never heard of them.

I was never quite that laid back. I spent most of my hiding in ditches or dug-outs :-)
