A pot, kettle, black situation

*David Cameron has threatened Russia with diplomatic, political and economic reprisals in response to Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine, with the prime minister telling reporters that Britain had to send a “clear message” to Russia.

Having chaired a meeting of the National Security Council, Cameron said on Monday: “What we want to see is a de-escalation rather than a continuation down the path that the Russian government has taken, violating the sovereignty and territorial integrity of another country.”*

Err David… Remember Iraq, where the UK violated the sovereignty and territorial integrity of another country? Or Afghanistan where you still have troops doing the violating thing? You can’t take a moral stance when your country has recently been guilty of the same actions, for far less justifiable reasons. You utter, utter cunt.

Disclaimer: I just bought a lens from Ukraine and I don’t want Cameron slowing down the postal service by kicking off World War 3.

Quite right. He is a twat, but aren’t all politicians? I bet the Russians are really shitting themselves at the prospect of UK and EC reprisals.

Not to mention that the “up-rising” in the the Ukraine was of course a “western” organized party to loose the Russian influence in the area.

What you fail to realise is that Obama and Cameron are duly elected representatives of the Free World, both dedicated to the democratic ideals that have created the systems under which they were elected as leaders of that Free World. They are commited to the crusade to advance the spread of democracy, freedom and wholesome Western values and both have presided over their countries during a period of exceptional advance and enlightenment, continuing the great strides taken by their predescessors.

To refer to our current crop of leaders as cunts or twats does them a great dis-service (cunts and twats, that is)

Is it sad that I thought about the lens delivery from the Ukraine too?

It’s important to get priorities right.
