Peace plea

-

In 1982 Alexander Haig shuttled back and forth between the relevant capitals to try to broker peace and prevent a war over the Falklands. Sadly, I've seen little or no effort by prominent politician­s or the UN to bring peace to the Ukraine. All Western politician­s do is send ever more arms and encouragem­ent to the Ukraine leadership, which is like fighting fire by pouring petrol on it. These are the same politician­s who say we are on track to catastroph­ic climate change by 2030. If nuclear war breaks out over the Ukraine it certainly won't do the climate much good.

Can someone please give peace a chance. Who knows, it also might bring energy bills down.
