    If you are accepting their right to break them at will then you are fecking moron.
    How do you manage to dress yourself in the morning.

    If Russia breaks a rule what you going to do. Sanctions? Even if that worked do you want an even more unstable country with a boat load of nukes. Do you see what I mean, there isn't a world policeman that's going to arrest Russia. So it can pick a choose when it wants to break laws.

      No. But the eastward expansion is seen as provocative by the Russians. Look how close NATO is to St Petersburg. It is simply absurd to suggest that EU expansion has contributed to Ukraine whereas the peace has been kept by NATO despite its expansion.

          They are already on it Government confirms Operation Stack lorry park will be built in Stanford West off the M20

          However, I am not sure why they are bothering. Dover and other ports are to be closed. English channel tunnel flooded. No flights to the EU.

            No need. They are converting the Channel Tunnel into jam and marmite pipelines to take full advantage of the new export opportunities.
