I do, but diplomacy is a bit more complicated than that. Let's not get too self-righteous when accusing Russia of using force to bend other countries to its will when that's what the US/UK double act do to the majority of countries on the planet.

I'm not taking sides here, but the narrative portrayed by our government and its suckling corporate media that Putin is pure evil and the US/UK is playing the noble role of 'World Police' again is just so tiring and its frustrating that we are still blind to it. Haven't we learned anything from the accusations levelled at Iraq about WMD's, for example?
