  I agree with you on this one Keith. I think the whole approach to Russia and Putin is sadly wrong and totally shortsighted and hardly designed to make the world a safer place, and we all want a safer place for our kids. Many of the western politicians as ever are showing poor intellectual reasoning and seem only have their eye on tomorrows headline. As most of our news comes via America now and is dreadfully slanted ( check out the slanted news flooding through our screens everyday on Bing, Google, MSN ) it makes a good and easy headline to be seen beating Russia with a big stick. If these politicians could try engaging those with differences it might actually work in the world's favour instead of continuously opting for the cheap headline. Sadly western politicians like Cameron need to be seen kissing the American arse....that way secures the instant favourable headline.
  
  Russia are exercising influence in Ukraine, its true, but we all know the Americans have involved themselves in influencing and interfering with other nations since as far back as any one of use can remember. They have had their sticky fingers in many a foreign pie. And has their foreign policy been a success??
  
  If you want to see a piece of non-propaganda Russia take a look at Michael Portillo's new train journey from Tula and Moscow to St Petersburg on i-player...it was shown on BBC TV about a week ago and its a revelation ..the place is flooded with tourists from the UK and everywhere else. The potential is there to engage.
