  1. Ian, I sent this to a SKY NEWS report. What you have done is to finally make us all aware of the fact that sanctions are political tools and can be skated around by anybody with half a brain. Now that we know this, we can at least realize that it's still good for the UK for example, to have Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announce more sanctions, or President Biden in the USA, because it is really the writing on the wall that everyone can see and know that the sanctions are there because of a lawless world leader acting badly on the international stage. Secondly, we have to realize that way back when the American President Teddy Roosevelt said---correct me if I am wrong---"Speak softly, but carry a big stick." Boys and girls, the rogue leaders boldly able to throw their countries into conflicts at will only underscores the need for humanity to wake up in the west. Because the only thing foreign leaders who invade sovereign nations will ever respect is power and force and weaponry that will outmatch their own supplies and straight-talking leaders or geo-political commentators like Ian Bremmer, who don't mince their words. A superpower like what I believe Great Britain has re-emerged on the international stage as after the latest invasion of Ukraine from Russia will only, I repeat, will only be respected by the authoritarian leaders by being on the cutting edge of everything from bathroom sinks to hypersonic missiles to space forces bigger than theirs. It's sad to say it, I am an artist and not a military strategist, but the human community of the western powers, as much as we love it and believe in it is in grave danger of being taken over by foreign adversaries who have no respect for our way of life. We have to use diplomatic tools to show our resolve, but we have to be able to back it up with force, too.
