Mela bil-patrijottiżmu ta’ JM (li m’għandu x’jaqsam xejn) Malta mhix lesta tinżel għarkubtejha quddiem ħadd (i.e. l-Ewropa) imma lesta tintefa’ b’ruħha w ġisimha f’ħoġor potenzi kbar oħra bħar-Russja jew iċ-Ċina li għandhom warajhom storja twila ta’ ripressjoni u ksur tad-drittijiet umani.

Il-veru każ ta’ “FOOLS RUSH IN WHERE ANGELS FEAR TO TREAD.”

This is what happens to governments when they ride roughshod over democracy.

All expenses paid.

It is all but guaranteed that as soon as he arrives in the Ukrainian capital it will all be quiet. There will be no problem, no unrest and no riots.

It will be business as usual.

His eyebrows have now grown so bushy that he can see nothing.

That is exactly what the Ukrainian government needs at this most crucial and tragic moment of the country’s history.

Hurry up George, prove your mettle.
