Hello everybody and thank you for tuning in to the weekly report.

UKing crisis.

A nightmare caused by US interventionism.

Over the weekend we heard that the US is evacuating its embassy in Kiev for fear of a Russian

invasion.

We also heard Russia is evacuating its embassy in Kiev for fear of a US backed provocation

in eastern Ukraine that may lead to a Russian military response.

We're in uncharted territory, the media tells us, yes that's true.

But it is uncharted because no one had ever imagined in the past that the US government would

be so foolish to risk the thermonuclear war over the borders of a country, Ukraine,

that have changed so many times over the past century.

Of all things to draw a line in the sand over the question of who runs Ukraine or where

its borders might be, should be pretty near the bottom of the list.

An urgent Biden-Putin phone call on Saturday did not lead to any breakthrough and if anyone

thought it would, instead it provided cover for Biden's administration hawks to claim

they tried every diplomatic approach but war seems to be the only option.

But this whole thing is a farce as I see it here is the Ukraine crisis in a nutshell.

Biden to Putin.

Don't invade Ukraine.

Putin to Biden.

We have no intention of invading Ukraine.

Biden to the US media.
