What’s going on?
It’s time to go to school
And learn about the reasons for this war
Listen to learned people
Amazing what they know
Peter Hitchens David Starkey
Not everyone’s cup of tea
I find them fascinating
They are helping me
And now I find another man
Very very good
His name John Mearsheimer
Now I have understood
The story of Ukraine
And Nato’s eastward action
Too easy blaming Putin
Without some self reflection

+ The present crisis in Ukraine has sent me back to school. I find You Tube very helpful in the interviews and lectures you can find there. I have just discovered John Mearsheimer of the University of Chicago and he gives a very clear analysis of the part the West has played in bringing us to the present sorry situation. The mote in Putin’s eye we see all too clearly. The beam in our own we are not even aware of.
