Hi Tim, it was great that you read the whole post. It might be the longest post I have written on Hive. I would normally divide my content into 2 or 3 parts. This time I kept it as one.

I believe the divide between Russia and the west has been set back at least a generation. The media have really pushed Russia as the absolute villains of this war. Censorship has meant that many people have not been able to access alternative information on this war. I had to dig quite hard and I still have many questions.

The Russians will be villains again in the Bond films. I'm sure lots of other films will portray them in that light as well. I expect the western version of the documentary of this war will be the same.
