Must say it's a head-scratcher what's going on in Ukraine. People assumed Putin would mercilessly bomb Ukraine for several weeks to minimise troops and military hardware losses when deployed as the US has done in the past. Instead he's tiptoed around hardly using his much-vaunted array of hypersonic missiles while NATO/USA take the pee by openly arming Ukraine in what must be the most transparent proxy war there's ever been. We've even witnessed fatty Johnson striding down some Kiev streets.

Perhaps Russia did respond yesterday by hitting Blighty in the Berkshire countryside and its been underplayed as an explosion at some firework facility in the middle of what looks like a farmer's field. The location of that is very close to where some believe Britain has its most important underground DUMB near the village of Peasemore.
