Putin is not the enemy. Russia is not the enemy.. OECD nations relationship with Russia has to be multi faceted. Russia played a very big role in the Iranian Nuclear Talks. I don’t think Ukraine should be part of NATO, (No country should be part of NATO when their borders are in serious disputes, ditto with Georgia vis a vie Russia) The Ukraine should be tied closer to the EU.
However, Jeremy Corbyn stated points about the Ukrainian conflict, really weak condemnation on Russia’s actions in their near abroads, wanting closer ties with Russia, criticizing sanctions against Russia after the shooting down of the Malaysian Airlines Flight 17, non intervention in Syria without demanding Russia stopped propping up the Assad regime or at least stop pouring advisors and arms in the region is a bit troubling, to looking like a big apologist to supporter of the Putin’s Presidency.. I have seen enough of his antics, to downplayed his condemnation of Putin, but acting like a Fox News Contributor or a Fox News Democrat on Russia Today and in his rhetoric..
The Iraqi invasion of 2003 is linked to the rise of ISIS, I don’t deny that. However, Russia is propping up the Assad Regime, which is tad bit less awful than ISIS..
If you want to know anything about the Labour Leadership Elections, there were 420k votes total, Corbyn won 251k, victory for Corbyn, but it is not going to the right choice in a UK General Election in four-five years time..
My main point isn’t that Corbyn’s words seemed to be a match to Russian Interest. My main alarm about Corbyn is hostility to the EU, that could some serious chaos for the UK economy, plus give rise to more Euro Skepticism in all the major political parties, from Conservative Party Yahoos, to the UKIP racists..
