First things first , I think what Johnson and the tories have done is shocking . I lost my father in law to covid when he contracted it in the hospital while undergoing chemotherapy. We didn’t see him his last Christmas due to restrictions , we also weren’t allowed to give him a proper funeral as we were in lockdown. Nobody thinks Johnson has to go more than me (and yes I’m right of centre politically).
What is worrying me though is how Ukraine is getting less and less coverage. I fear war in Europe is getting normalised. I also fear the Russians are hoping apathy kicks in the west and we gradually stop supplying aid. To me, that can’t be allowed to happen. Apathy tips this in russias favour.
To me, it’s imperative we continue as a nation to press our mps to keep helping the Ukrainians as much as we can. We also need to make sure our government keeps pressuring the US and EU to keep it a big priority.
Russia has turned imperialist again and now fascist under Putin. What history has shown us is that if these extremists get something they want more . If Putin is allowed a foothold in Ukraine then I do believe he will attempt to divide nations in nato to break it . Especially the baltics , if a disinformation campaign online is started in countries in nato and they leave I think it would be a matter of time before he tries the baltics. Just because a war is not on our doorstep , doesn’t mean it stays that way. We must supply Ukraine with the military and humanitarian aid it needs to stop this extremist in his tracks
