It seems like Russia is playing games and may be up to it's old tricks again. Russia certainly has put Nato and Europe on it's toes.

It's definitely not the first time that Russian bombers have flown way too close to the UK or other European countries for comfort, they have been at it quite a lot!

Yep, it happened quite a lot last year too and back last month. Even Russian ships were found sailing too close, definitely playing games, or testing out defences.

They push the limits when it comes to Canada as well, especially with subs up along the arctic coast.

End of January the Russian bombers flew here, over Bournemouth. Two days ago they flew over Cornwall (SW UK). They are playing a game but I read somewhere (sorry can't remember which newspaper) that Russia have been doing this for a while now, it's just becoming more frequent.

And now we have senior MPs saying that the UK military is not strong enough to defend the UK if a Russian invasion was to happen..... talk about scaring the masses!

Funny why the UK doesn't use Euros even thou it's part of the European Union, eh?

Maybe it time to rethink who the bad guy's really are?

London Financial District.

----------------------------

The City is not a part of England, just as Washington is not a part of the USA. The City of London is a privately owned corporation operating under its own flag, with its own constitution and free from the legal constraints that govern the rest of the country

(King William III of the House of Orange in 1694 privatized the Bank of England, established the City of London, and turned control of England’s money over to an elite group of international bankers. Actually a Committee comprising 12 banks headed by Bank of England (Rothschild).

England is however the financial oligarchy run by the “Crown” = City of London (Not the Queen) The Queen has to take permission to enter this private sovereign state from the Lord Mayor at the Templar Bar (4 Inns of Court – Middle Temple, Inner Temple, Lincoln’s Inn and Gray’s Inn ” all secret societies). The Bar Attorneys of the US owe their allegiance and pledge their oaths to the Crown (City of London). All Bar Associations throughout the world are signatories and franchises to the International Bar Association located at the Inns of Court of the Crown Temple. (Rense.com)

The City of London is 677 acres. It is a financial district ” but not part of UK.

Although Norway is not a member state of the European Union (EU), it is closely associated with the Union through its membership in the European Economic Area (EEA), in the context of being a European Free Trade Association (EFTA) member.

Yep my mistake it's Sweden not Norway.

The countries not using the Euro:

Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Sweden and the United Kingdom


The problem with being part of a monetary union is an individual country can't trade it's way out of debt.

The Euro Zone is Germany doing what it couldn't do with tanks is doing it with banks!

Capitalism/Free Market needs to be strongly regulated or we get a Monopoly, Duopoly or a Cartel (Oligarchy).

Very true! and the effects, the impacts are all bad for the regular people trying and struggling to live each day as the wealthy get fatter financially and hoard the money, they do NOT share it, nor spread it, nor make jobs. Putin btw is actual part of the Russian Oligarchy as he basically owns Gazprom, the Russian Fossil fuel company that much of Europe relies on for fuels.
