Thanks for your insightful, honest article. We need more of this to offset the craziness that seems to be coming from our mainstream media both in Europe and US.
Our governments, at least in UK and US, seem to be more and more living in a dream world, the old world of colonialism where they could say "this is the way it is", and so it would be.
Their claims about the Ukraine situation, and the state of our economy are becoming more and more outlandish and ridiculous, the more we open our eyes and look and see.
I think they are in for a rude awakening.
On a more humorous note, did you see how von Leyen, who visited China with Macron, was treated by the Chinese, relative to Macron's treatment as a VIP Head of State?
Apparently she was separated out from Macron and asked "Who elected you? ", before being shown the door and allowed to make her own way home by public transport. Hehe! :)
