...the hubris is astonishing.

They mumble amongst themselves, come up with a 'plan': one which re-emphasizes and underlines the very reasons that Russia felt obliged to go to war in the first place...they then refuse to consult or listen to Russia: whose agreement would be required to put the 'plan' successfully into action...because of course Russia would never agree as it..so well, loop to the bit above about why they went to war...repeat and rinse ad infinitum.

The only ray of light made apparent by this idiotic churn of absurdity is if you weren't aware before now that the UK and Europe were in the hands of a fifth column of rabidly transatlantic bureaucrats intent on its destruction and indeed foolish enough to think it was somehow a "good idea" well, they are making it very clear: so you will be now.

- Our leaders in Europe aren't really right in the head. There's something gone terribly wrong in their selection, and dare I say it, you only have to look at them to physically see it.

These people are all washed out dull apparatchics who have spent a life in an office shuffling paper: legal, financial, managerial ..it matters not. They follow orders because that's what got them to where they are today, and there is not a single solitary thought in their heads that does not involve appeasing their perceived masters.

Which means are in real trouble because the malaise is both widespread and systemic and even worse: the drones are self selecting surrounding themselves with an entire cadre of "alternatives" that are merely more of the same ilk.

-I hazard to say European "democracy" is dead: so dead it can't be kicked alive no matter how many volts you hit it with.

Politically we're in Zombieland.
