A very bruising year indeed ,was 2022. What with the devastating after effects of covid and still cases recurring as vaccines are not all that effective.
Aids syndrome has been tackled with better results but still lingers as does monkeypox!
Then the quite sensless, but deadly Russian war. Shows how bad it is to have no scruples in achieving their communist goals of reuniting their former slavic country.
We must remember that their socialist state ran out of money two decades ago then invited in the West to refinance them and many of their forced amalgamations managed to escape their clutches.Seems as if they have learned nothing from that experience!
All this has had a devestating effect on all stock exchanges world wide as the threat of nuclear weapons being used is always there in the background!
NATO waits for Russia to use a more lethal weapon upon Ukraine then tries to counter it.
At the same time thousands of innocent people are dying in that country. From a think tank that I follow the only way to stop this pattern would to take the lead and laying down red lines and stickingt to them can the West force the Russians to the negotiating table!
