    If you don't like the "pro-Western view on this from the BBC", then watch 'Russia Today' for a completely impartial alternative.

    And in so far as Russia expanding to countries around America, that is exactly what happened in 1962, when Russia supplied Cuba with nuclear weapons; bringing the world to the brink of a nuclear war.

    Only marginally better than Gavin Williamson's response (as Foreign Secretary) by telling Russia to "just shut up and go away", when they annexed' Crimea.

    The whole Cabinet is populated by pathetic, ineffectual 'Yes' men and women.

    I was thinking similar on a recent dog walk (good opportunity to mull things over) - how would we respond were Russia to make military links/supply/funding with the Irish republic? (or in a few years time Scotland ).

    Russia has been on the receiving end quite often during its history, not surprising that they get nervous.

    Liz Truss just lied in an interview by Kay Burley on Sky News when asked if she's been invited to a lockdown party at No.10. She denied it and you could tell the question had caught her out. She's the same as all the rest, unsurprisingly.

    Geoff, I presume your last statement is rhetorical or possibly ironic, a bit like Boris blaming everyone around him and in total denial, or are you implying you were there as well and not admitting it.
    Listening is the act of aural discrimination and dissemination of sound, and accepting you get it wrong sometimes.
