A comment on earlier Angels' posts on Russia, that the shock of the collapse of the Soviet Union could be compared to the loss of the British Empire and its continued effects on United Kindom politics 60 years on, and that it must be taken into account fully when considering Russian policies now, was met by Mr HG with the seriously expressed view that Italy still has not got over the loss of the Roman Empire, and Italy's politics have been reflecting the impact of the barbarians ever since.
2000 years! The United States is getting so dangerously edgy already, and they have only just begun to adjust.

Considering what happened in South Africa - the position in the Ukraine is somewhat scary with the deposed empire representing a significant portion of the population, controlling much of the economy and having their main naval base on the territory. If there are still any diplomats left in the world perhaps this should be their main area of focus.
Oh yes, 15.56. And Pakistan. Perhaps the main task of any diplomats still left in the world might be helping imperial powers to get down by any means other than war.
