SFS - honestly I came to my own conclusions before reading 'comments' in the DT which include hundreds like this :-
"As a Conservative party member I had hopes that Lizz Truss could be a future leader. If this article is correct she cannot be. She hasn't the guts or the strategic vision. The worst International policy decision in the last 50 years was when President Bush did not press on to Baghdad and depose Sadam Hussein in 1991 when the International coalition had the world's support. From that came Gulf war 11 and the mess that flowed from it. Which we are still suffering from.
To now allow Putin to get off scott free from all the death, suffering, and destruction he and his henchmen have caused, just on a promise he won't do it again, is unconscionable. To allow Putin to go back to his plotting and scheming to cause trouble in the future would be a mistake as big as Bush's in 1991.
Who is going to pay for Ukraine to be rebuilt Lizz? The British taxpayer?"
And . . . .
"We shouldn't even think about lifting sanctions until all Russian troops have withdrawn, a restoration fund has been agreed for the destruction of homes and cities, compensation paid to every civilian family for the death of loved ones and above all the removal of Putin, dead or alive, with a cast-iron guarantee that Russia will stay within its own borders in future."
