Today I have had the must awful of birthday presents. Russia has declared war on and invaded Ukraine

Ukraine is a country of 44 million people. It is the first of the countries once part of the USSR (United Soviet Socialist Republics) to be coveted for repossession by Russian President Vladimir Putin. My personal belief is that the President wants all the former countries back under a framework of USSR control.

The word ‘power’ is the most awful abd frightening of words, in so many fronts. It’s misuse embraces the world and most of its institutions and organisations.
