So British Liberal Democrats dream of Drang Nach Osten, huh? - that
"steppen" of Ukraine must be a promising Lebensraum for the starved for
space Brits.

Just as they did in 1938 facing the prospect of Hitler's panzer rolling
over their country.  However, the Anschluss of Yugoslavia is a moot point.
It cost Hitler some 700 thousand prime SS troops.  What makes you think
that their British parteigenose would fare any better?

As I said before and will repeat again, scratch a liberal democrat and find
a Nazi underneath.

Heil Blair!
