"The purpose is to demonise Russia."
Same with Syria of course!!
Pity we've all got teles and work out for ourselves what's happening for ourselves
We really aren't all sheep Iains - just some of us who choose to be
Let's face it - we'll never be given the full fact of this if our 'betters' decide we don't need to know
It's far more interesting and rewarding to work out why this is happening and why the various governments are reacting the way they are
THese ongoing incidents are manifestations of a society past its sell-by date and in decline - a battle for control
Russia and the former Communist states are the new kids on the block, fighting for world political and economic dominance in a system that has gone international
Interference in other nations' elections and economies is now par for the course.
Basically, they are doing nothing the U.S. hasn't been doing since the end of W.W.2., only they don't have the excuse of "fighting for freedom and democracy any more"
Nor have they the passive support that the U.S. once had to get away with what they dod.
