Whilst one can understand Russian discomfort at losing its sphere of influence in Ukraine, their cynicism throughout these months of intervention (which they say was not intervention) by Russian troops (they say were not Russian Troops) must only strengthen the resolve of the pro EU population to withstand Russian imperialism at all costs. The BBC Panorama programme now has produced evidence to support, what we already suspected, that it was a Russian fired missile that shot down the Malaysian airline which, if confirmed, would only show further what Ukraine is up against in terms of corruption, expansionism and outright uncontrolled wickedness. The Russian people now find themselves without democracy and dominated by a regime of terror. We must surely pray for God to intervene again in Russia and surrounding nations.
On another international note I applaud President Obama for his non-trigger happy caution in Iraq, but I am glad to see him finally taking on the ISIS terrorists, together with a new Iraq government made up of cross-ethnic and cross-religious components. We pray for God to help this phase in Iraq especially thinking of the religous and ethnic minorities so disgustingly persecuted of late.
Finally, dare I say it, whilst I understand something of the strong feelings in Scotland calling for independence from the UK, which are based on historical facts of the often perverse domination by the English north of the border, I personally hope that a satisfactory common denominator can be found to unite a federal UK where each of its four component nations have equal rights and opportunitities working together for the common good of the inhabitants of those islands and the world. Mr. Darling would seem to me to have been a bad choice for leader of the "no" vote, but we pray with the Queen for God's help in the dark UK which has largely forgotten and abandoned the wealth of its Christian heritage.
