The older you are, the poorer you are and the more long term
medical conditions you have, the more likely you are to be admitted
to hospital or to die, if those conditions progress or if you get
any new acute illness, including COVID-19. This is a covert
manifesto for age discrimination and discrimination against the
old, sick and disabled.......... Nearly 12 million people in the UK
are over 65 and 3 million are over 80. That's a lot of people to
dismiss casually. These include our parents, uncles, aunts, and
grandparents, our current or future selves. These are citizens who
have contributed to society, families, workplaces and the economy.
They are as entitled to protection and care as the rest of us.
Unless the Covid-denialists and lockdown sceptics can serve up some
useful solutions with their rhetoric, they need to stop the
discriminatory dog whistles. I can guarantee if it were a member of
their own family who got sick, they wouldn't be saying "they have a
pre-existing condition so let them die". David Oliver, an
experienced NHS acute hospital consultant.
There are different perceptions in the west about Russian
interference in the EU; some states see Russia as a friendly
partner, and some view it as a hostile power, but, majority of
states want to maintain friendly relations with Russia. These
factors matter, and the relations with and perceptions of Russia
certainly differ between various countries. It is noted that the US
and NATO presence in Eastern Europe was a bigger challenge to the
national security of Russian Federation, and that the US wanted to
pressure Germany to undermine the Nord Stream-2 pipeline project.
The construction of the controversial natural gas pipeline Nord
Stream 2 has been delayed for months and completion is increasingly
at risk after the US imposed sanctions on involved companies and
threatened further steps. The pipeline under the Baltic Sea has
been the subject of heated debate for years. The book focuses on
the Security Challenges faced by the Baltic States, Ukraine and
Belarus.
