Why does the former Prime Minister of Ukraine Belief that Putin is Orchestrating a full Invasion of the Ukraine? Why should Georgia and other nearby countries be worried?

Russia has a lean and hungry look. Such a nation under Putin is very dangerous.  The world helped Russia recover its economy and pride after political and economic collapse. But, Russia mentality is almost a mirror image of that of Germany after WWII.

Has Britain become a nation of real estate agents? If so, then what hope is there for matching maturities of assets and liabilities and finally ending the permanent cash flow debt repayment crisis? Is British capitalism self destructing into money supply based wishes and dreams rather than business realities that provide good incomes.

Who is going to pay for all the new houses and with what incomes?  What is the capacity to absorb new immigrants?

Sketches from scratches is a provocative blogspot that has grown out of the Wuh Lax experience.
