Bout f'ing time

> How the fuck did this man direct the course of our politics?

I presume it's because he's (willingly) at the beck and call of people far smarter and more strategic than him, and with very bad intentions

Maybe Vitkov could be sent to keep an eye on a russian oil depot

The arrogance. Straight from russian framing - only the US and russia in the room, Ukraine there to be told their fate by the big boys, Europe nowhere to be seen. This is their ideology, plain for all to see.

True, probably not a moral regret, more just the certain knowledge that he had given people leverage over him that would inevitably use it.

Indeed. And yet he's a regular sight in Moscow. Hand on heart in adoration, no less.

That's the look of a man that's done things he's going to regret.

For a second I thought that must be a bit, but no it's real 🤯

I mean sure, actually rejoining can't happen until sanity prevails, but in the interim there's a massive difference between all parties saying "Brexit is permanent, and also good" and some saying "actually no, it's shit, and we're looking to build a way out."
