As ever, an excellent column from Peter Hitchens today

Wars mean death and wounds. They mean shortages, rationing, electricity blackouts, travel restrictions, busybodies interfering in every bit of life, and with much more power. Not to mention danger – missiles have astonishing ranges these days. What exactly would this one be for?

And on Ukraine...

Ukraine is, in fact, a corrupt and ill-governed state, riven with incompetence and waste, with little political freedom, weak media and no real opposition. In this, it is very like Russia, except that Russia has oil and gas.

It has other faults I won’t dwell on here. And the war which (in my view) the USA provoked in this region has been a disaster for the Ukrainian people. This is brought home in a dispatch this weekend in the Left-wing and pro-war New Statesman.

The distinguished Ukrainian novelist Andrey Kurkov has given a clearer and more truthful picture of the state of the country he plainly loves than I have seen from any Western reporter. Mr Kurkov is a Ukrainian patriot, loyal to his nation. And this causes him to be honest.

Among many other striking things, he notes ‘around 700,000 Ukrainians liable for military service have crossed the border since the war began on February 24, 2022. This is more than the number of Ukrainian soldiers at the front. These male refugees are not coming home any time soon.’

"The war which bankrupt Britain spends so much effort on keeping going has killed, maimed and disfigured unknown tens of thousands of young Ukrainian men (casualty figures are an official secret), devastated cities, and wrecked the Ukrainian economy.

I have never known what British interest this serves, and – perhaps even more important – I cannot see how Ukraine has benefited from it either.

Can nothing end this brainless march towards a new Great War?"

The real war will be fought in the air and could well be the next, and final war fought via GPS

would take around 5 minutes for the Russians to wipe out our little rock.

Good news is, is that Putin doesn't want a war of mutual destruction - why would he?

With our multiculturally diverse population, volunteers to fight for a country they already despise will be in extremely short supply. In terms of our nuclear deterrent we will never have a leader willing to push the button even if we are being blown to pieces. Absolutely ludicrous to be poking the bear at every opportunity when ouir armed services are at their lowest ever.

judging from this you might suppose ukraine had invaded russia. and kidnapped tens of thousands of children

peter hitchens is a lone voice. every serious kremlinologist and scholar of post-cold war russia has been warning of his messianic ambition. all of em. yards of books, many of which i have read and none of which anyone on this forum has. and if ukraine is corrupt, wtf is russia? and even if it was, what right does he have to invade and destroy? incredible how a brutal dictaor is taken at face value while the democratic states that have warned about him for 20 yuears are ignored

estonian pm in 2014; 'crimea is the beginning, we or ukraine itself will be next. putin does not see the difference between the ussr and russia'. he was told to shut it and accused of russophobia by the kremlin. we are now to believe the baltic states want war with russia, backed up by the west, which is remarkably reluctant to hand over arms to ukraine that could have ended the war long ago. maybe the nasty scandis just enjoy teasing, like a cat with a mouse. sweden and finland have resisited nato for 70 years- no longer. whys that then? they want to disrupt their spectacularly successful societies in their desire to crush russia? is that right?

putin has already smashed up chechnya syria and georgia. he has captured state power to further his own megalamania. anyone even mentioning war gets 15 years, all oppositon is dead, he creats division abroad via the st petersburg ira and denies access to the very channels he uses to spread his filth to his own people

yet the west is cast as a warmonger. evil sweden finland estonia latvia lithuania poland u.s. uk etc all part of a sinister conspiracy to wage war on russia

where is the evidence for this?

all i see is the opposite; 2013- 'it is my historic mission to unite russia with little russia(ukraine) and white russia(belarus)' 'kiev is the mother of russian cities'. 2014- 'ukraine is our land'

on and on he goes. now he says ukraine is full of nazis. laughable if it wasnt so serious. try telling anyone from eastern europe that. you will get a right-hander. they know better than the useful idiots who blame the west for everything and dont apply any critical faculties to its enemies

it is a penalty of living in a free society that the real bad people are free to spread lies and division they deny to their own

George, why did you quote Harry Patch? A war hero he might have been but he seemed to miss the point that had politicians not declared war in 1939, most of Europe would be goose stepping and speaking German and without the USA it would probably have been the same whether or not war was declared?

Russia is as weak as a kitten in comparison to NATO, they have no troops or weapons to compare and the longer they are engaged in Ukraine the more depleted their forces will be which suits the West but there will be no need for a scenario you predict unless China got involved within Russia. Despite what most thought during the Cold War the Soviet Union were more afraid of the Chinese than the West and for some reason do not seem to realise China could be achieving what they feared by stealth rather than force.
