    Against my better judgement, I listened to the BBC this morning. They seem to have the same person, or people, on, repeatedly. Journalists and people from think tanks. Men or women, I have increasingly difficulty telling the difference between them. They all seem to come from the same background, they think alike and see the world through a kind of BBC/Guardian prism.

    Anyway... the guy had written a book about Russia called, if I remember correctly, 'The Fragile Empire.' Basically Russia was doomed to fail and fall because of mix of backwardsness, corruption, incompetence and economic reality coming home to roost. This was typified by the war in Ukraine, which was a failure for Russia and was undermining the state, which whilst it appeared solid, was really like an eggshell.

    Dogma triumphs over facts. The NAZIs had the same ideas about Russia and look what happened to them.

    Of course nobody who questions these racist dogmas about Russians, is allowed anywhere near the mainstream any longer. So, basically the guests are all members of the same anti-Russian cult and they don't appreciate the difference between their faith and reality.

    The second guest, German from another ####ing think tank, had just carried out a large opinion poll across Europe to find out what people thought about China. Summerised, it was like this, keep America in, Russia down and China... out! The term 'de-risking' kept coming up. It means, increasingly, keep China at a distance and lessening the 'risk' of Europe becoming too reliant on the Chinese.

    Europe is doomed with people like this in charge.
