The Next Thing To Worry About

 Over the past week, I've been contemplating this new strategy by the new UK government....giving some type of 'approval' to the Ukraine....to use UK-made missiles....to hit INSIDE of Russia.

On my stupidity index (1-to-10)...this has to rank near a '8'.

If you'd said they'd be used to target Russian positions inside of the Ukraine....no problem.  But that's not the wording.

What'll happen after the missiles are used once or twice on inside-Russia targets?  I would imagine within a couple of days....some refinery fire in the UK, or some bridge demolition near London will occur.  It'll be enough to suggest that some Russian crew were probably responsible.

Behind the whole show....I think the UK and European attitude (plus the US)...is to push things along a bit, and hope that the war ends 'shortly'.  They all seem rather confident that Putin won't 'touch' them.

Public confidence once this trend goes to the next level?  This is not the 1980s, and there's limited confidence in any European gov't at this point.  

The fact that North Korea has some deals going on and they might be selling tactical missiles to Russia?  Oh, I agree....this is probably driving some to worry about the escalation going on already.
