Yep.

Don't give anything that Putin will twist to his own benefit.

Cunts.

No dictator would dare manipulate a huge event like the Olympics, surely?

Wait, hang on, oh yeah they might...

Fair point that.

A smaller incursion that somehow went under the radar of the public consciousness and was "accepted" by lots of countries. 

Some of us did at the time. That’s another story though. A small incursion? Like Czechoslovakia back in 1938/39. We (the West) should learn from history rather than dismiss it as ‘in the past’ Russia won’t stop if they defeat Ukraine. Worryingly, Hungary and now Slovakia have Putin friendly leaders.

Small being a relative term in this case.

Hungary has been brought more into line recently iirc, but yes he's a bit of a loon. Change seems afoot there following the emergence of a new opposition "leader".

I know. It wasn’t a dig at you but that was how it was perceived.

All the more reason that Trump, if he gets in, can't go and stop funding. 

Fwiw, I don't think he will, and it wouldn't surprise me if the block in the house of representatives is removed.

Wouldn't have minded being a fly on the wall today in the discussions between Trump and Cameron.

What makes you think he won't?

Rhetoric to get the gig, versus international pressure and world realities once he's got it. 

Hope you're right. But I doubt it.
