Ukraine is much in the news recently, and for all the wrong reasons.
Will Russia invade?
Will the be a False Flag event (and if so, who will be the culprit?).
These are imponderable questions and will only be answered after the event (if at all), being dependent not on cultural matters but on the motivation of those world leaders who are actually pulling the strings. These are motivations into which I have no insight other than the (possibly informed) speculation of others.
Nevertheless there is value in understanding some of the history and attitudes of the situation on the ground, since these matters provide the context within which any incoming action must take place.
TCW (The Conservative Woman) obliges us with three articles which explore this area:
Ukraine special 1: The wrong elephant
Ukraine special 2: Send Biden, not Truss
Ukraine special 3: Putin needs new buffer zones
Whilst I'm in no position to agree or disagree with any of these positions, I do think they bring helpful perspectives to the current situation.
