Put out the fire

It is hard to know what President Trump is doing with Russia and his ‘friend’ Vladimir Putin. There are no obvious new tariffs on Russia despite them being imposed on most others including a colony of penguins.

The latest threat is to sanction Russia if Nato stops buying their oil, rather than immediately because they invaded Ukraine and are working to either conquer it or destroy it. Russia is unlikely to be worried by this and is showing its disinterest in solutions by flying drones across Poland, an act of political defiance when peace is the target.

When grown men, world leaders, fiddle around, too many children are caught up in the fire.
