The loonies are storming the booby hatch

I take my eyes off the world for one week, to edit a 200-page book on alternative energy sources, and when I look up, NATO — or at least France’s Macaroon — is sending troops into the Ukraine to invade Russia. Talk about your Napoleon complex.

Clearly the West is on a suicide mission, and Lord only knows why. Europe and the US have completely emptied their stockpiles of weapons and ammunition.

So why is the West committing hara-kiri?
