@SimonGuy64 If that cheerful drunkard, Boris Yeltsin, had remained longer in charge of Russia and someone similar had taken over from him, there was every chance that Russia and the West would now be allies - able to fight the perils of the East together.

Insecurity combined with arrogance led to these events, although there was clear historic justification for Russia seeking to control Crimea (note your own use of the word 'annexation' rather than 'invasion'). A sense of ownership of the Donbas grew as the number of ethnic Russians living there grew.

The RCM has been saying this for years. Too many in the West think that all it takes is to be ever-so tolerant and ever-so nice. Wrong. We have about 10 years before civilisation as we know it falls apart. It's time the White Man stopped playing at being the Weak Man.

@SimonGuy64 Someone's "right" is someone else's responsibility. Countres with high levels of trust and altruism offer the most scope for a pleasant way of life and the best chance of friendships with like-minded nations. But that comes from the bottom up - not from the top down.

@RuralConserv Friendships will always be closer or more distant depending on fluctuating circumstances but a shared respect for human rights, the rule of law and democracy allows for an underpinning that can survive those fluctuations.

@SimonGuy64 The last time I said anything complimentary about Putin was in 2022 or earlier - prior to his disastrous invasion of Ukraine. There were many folk on the Right of politics who were Wrong on Putin - me included. On the rare occasions when I'm wrong, I admit it. Mea culpa.

@RuralConserv "Shared culture and values and a shared vision of what the future should look like" - when did Putin last display any of these qualities? Yet there you were saying how his Russia could have been the West's ally and how we needed more "strong leaders" like him. Hilarious.

@SimonGuy64 Putin is no longer respected by the RCM. It would be hard to think of a more brutal and pointless conflict to plunge two countries into than his "special military operation". But the root cause of this war, like so many before it, is long-term disrespect for others' borders.

@SimonGuy64 Shared culture and values and a shared vision of what the future should look like between nations which understand each other and to an extent, look like each other, is what fosters friendship and trust. At the wider, woolier level, the relationship can only be more distant.

@RuralConserv So to ease your bewilderment, I think our friends are those countries who respect (or shall we say at least pay lip service to) international law, who respect human rights and who are democracies with free and fair elections. It's not that complicated.

@RuralConserv "America should have Greenland." Stephen Miller (Trump's Deputy Chief of Staff and National Security Advisor) before going on to question by what right Denmark "lay claim" to Greenland.

This is the most terrifying speech I’ve heard in my lifetime. America is lost… #DonaldTrump has taken over a sovereign nation and now saying he needs to send more National Guard to keep control of US cities. Do not be deluded…this is dictatorship in broad daylight…

@SimonGuy64 This is the problem with the left-wing mindset. The side of politics which can't work out who is male and who is female also isn't sure who are our friends and who our enemies. It's actually pretty worrying not to be able to make that distinction.

@RuralConserv Define what actions and ethics make the "us" us and define what actions and ethics make the "enemies" the enemies.

@SimonGuy64 Not particularly happy, although some dystopias are probably more pleasant than others. I hope we can trust the US administration to keep within the rule of international law. However, our enemies may not show us the same courtesy.

@RuralConserv If we lose the rule of international law (one of our defining achievements) then we lose Western Civilisation and usher in a dystopia of our own making. But you seem quite happy for this catastrophic and self-defeating compromise to be made.

@SimonGuy64 No, Denmark isn't - not these days anyway. I see where you're going with this but Greenland could be put to strategic use in a dangerous world as a bulwark against those who are our enemies. With Danish permission obviously.

@SimonGuy64 Sadly, you couldn't be more wrong. I have fast decreasing faith that the population groups capable of creating and maintaining civilisation will remain on the right side of it. As for utopia - I seek it not. An absence of dystopia is the best we can hope for.

@RuralConserv The ongoing collapse of the world's rules-based order combined with the ascendency of your beloved "Strong Men" may not usher in quite the utopia you are yearning for. Your faith in the fact that you and yours will always be on the right side of it is touching.

@jockheim Yes, a tragic accident waiting to happen. It's surprising that a country like Switzerland would allow such material on a basement ceiling of all places. Or possibly, it isn't allowed but was used anyway.

@RuralConserv That is so spot on. Look at the crate foam they had covering all of the basement ceiling. That is clearly polyethylene insulating foam. It is liquid fuel, essentially.

This promotional video for Le Constellation bar in Crans-Montana, Switzerland, gives a terrifying insight into the likely cause of last night's tragedy. At least, this time, Islamic terrorism was not to blame. Le Constellation Crans-Montana by Night youtube.com/shorts/OCgRHRp…
