I have to agree with the previous posts. Russia has a different system of government to 'western' countries, just as China does, Singapore as well. But that should not make it our natural enemy. You might not agree with the 'benevolent dictatorship' in Singapore, but it sure works...... I don't regard either China or Russia as my enemy, but NATO does! Ukraine is unlucky because of its location. When part of the USSR, Russia's exit into the Black Sea was secure - now it is not and it's no surprise (to me) that Russia occupied Crimea to secure that access. When did Ukraine suddenly become part of Europe on maps? For me, Europe's eastern border ends at the eastern border of Romania etc, not the eastern border of Ukraine. NATO should never have got involved in the Russian-Ukraine conflict, but should have made Ukraine a 'buffer-zone' between NATO and Russia. Sorry Ukraine, you are geographically in the wrong place. Now this unnecessary war has drained all participants - Russia, Ukraine and EU/UK... Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face.....
