We know Russia is an invader criminal state, there is no debating that it is committing atrocity one after another, we also know Israel is doing the same. The main difference for us in the west is, that unlike with Russia, it is that Israel is committing its crimes with our collective consent.

Told the story before, but a relative used to work with Dorries. Said relative migrated to the US and years later came back to discover that Nadine was an MP & minister. She was absolutely flabbergasted. "She used to come looking for me to go to lunch with," She said, "and I'd hide in a cupboard"

Svalbard is by some viewed as a powder keg in Russo-Western relations and the mining town Barentsburg where the ship is docked is viewed as fiercely (Russia) patriotic. Enforcing the decision could pose serious challenges for Norway, especially given special legal status where NO powers are limited

Emmanuel Todd's answer

First, it must be stated that President Putin bears no responsibility whatsoever for the current global turmoil. The United States and European countries provoked Russia on Ukrainian soil.
