But they are still committed to unilateral nuclear disarmament as if you can have one without the other.

What a difference a year makes. They have obviously come into line over Ukraine.

Bloody hand-wringing liberals.

Not that anyone should be surprised.

Clueless sad sacks...

"We had great advice on these issues from Professor Paul Rogers of Bradford University..."

-That would be fantasist Professor Paul Rogers who a year ago was upping the anti in the Guardian by promoting Pentagon war propaganda that the Russians would use Chemical weapons:

To Vladimir Putin’s mind, chemical weapons might just seem a good idea

-I'm sure he's full of other similar on-the-nail Pentagon "advice" for the Greens is professor Rodgers. They are clearly in good hands.

"Paul Rogers who a year ago was upping the anti [sic] in the Guardian..."

The Greens are so predictably weak on the 'intellectual front' that one feels... dispondent and a bit sad that their 'promise' has been shown to be an illusion and it was never what it appeared to be in the first place.

These people are handed an opportunity on a silver platter, to grasp a coherent profile for themselves in opposition to the other war parties leading us towards the ultimate environmental catastrophe, nuclear Armageddon, and instead of forcefully standing against this genocidal insanity... they buckle and bend and accept the war propaganda as real and true, dispite the mountain of facts and evidence to the contrary.

What do you expect, they ratted on Assange and Corbyn

(but not as much as he ratted on himself) this was only a matter of time, the puerile, bourgeois liberal arseholes.

Flakily "green" Leftist sacks never join dots between fossil-fuelled foreign policies and human addi

Flakily "green", fake green and anti-green Leftist "sacks" never join the obvious dots between bloody and disastrous fossil-fuelled foreign policies/wars/interference and the human addiction to the Infernal Combustion Engine - their ludicrously inefficient, anachronistic, polluting but beloved bl**dy vroom-vroom automobiles.

Chomsky, Galloway and a zillion others never do, never have.
Funny innit - no problem selectively growing a conscience over the likes of "blood diamonds" and Congo's Cobalt kids - but never shed a tear over "blood gasoline" or blood-soaked Infernal Combustion...

Amazing. The TLN crew and pundits are so flaky they haven't recognised this central point Jim

Thanks for the pointer. Invaluable (eyes roll).

They're also in favour of sending 'battle tanks and other weapons' to Ukraine
