I'm quick to criticise the UK electoral system, but the US equivalent is even more archaic. Both may have worked once, but are now no longer fit for purpose - and neither is "democratic". If the USA, with a population of 340m people, can only find two men well past retirement age to stand as President then something is badly wrong. In addition, Trump is a paranoid narcissist and shouldn't be allowed scissors, let alone the nuclear trigger.
However, there are trumpists, just as there are those who will vote Tory in the next election, despite the chaos caused over the past 14 years to leave us with a country that no longer functiions as we have a right to expect.
Ukraine has it's own issues and is far from perfect, but their fight against Putin is the same as our own. The despicable mid-games being played by the autocrat in Russia after the Il-76 crash are testament to the total lack of morality in their system. God help us all if Russia wins - and if they do, it will be our fault.
