Ukraine

It seems that the inevitable will happen and Russia will take complete control of Ukraine. Putin will then look at other countries that he can invade and if the West tries to intervene there is always the big red button that he can press.

And quietly waiting in the wings is China because if Putin succeeds in Ukraine they will have the green light to take over other countries they consider to be part of China.

So is there any way to prevent this from happening, well unfortunately at the moment only sanctions but they need to be dramatically increased. Remember what happened in Afghanistan normally the easy part is to take over a country but to retain it is a different matter, especially when what you are doing to the Ukrainians will make them hate you forever.

Remember when the pandemic started and the whole infrastructure of every country came together to find a vaccine well we need to work together to help our friends and we need to become independent of certain countries for our energy supplies, and we should aim for this to happen not in ten years but only two.

And the next thing we should look at before it becomes another crisis is to make our own products again because if we fall out with China (and it will happen) most countries rely on them for nearly everything.
