I do not think I have met anyone in real life who has taken the threat of
Russia and China seriously. This shows how far the MSN has seized control of
people's minds. Russia and China are not backwater nations, they are
superpowers unlike Afghanistan and Iraq, lol.

We are suffering as it stands with the cost of living crisis in the UK where we
are all paying 4x the normal price of energy along with rising food costs of
around 15-20% and inflation increasing day by day. I don't know how anyone can
fix this. I don't even want to think how bad conditions are going to become if
we end up involved in all out war.

We are just normal people and we want to live our lives, why can't our
governments understand that?
