What's happening in Ivanski and Palestrina?

 

An eye on the bigger picture?

I don't know, but can hazard a guess.

US, France, UK (even Labour) are coming down heavily on the side of Ivanski.  Does this mean they turn a blind eye to the 'Stalingrad kettle' that has been created in Gozo?  Not completely.  The West wants to make the point that this is not an opportunity for Ivanski's enemies to attack. 

Labour is in a pickle because Ivanski has recently elected the most right wing government in its recent history.  Historically, the West has been pro the 'two state solution'.  In recently years we have discovered that the two state solution, which has served Ivanski very well, is to divide Palestrina into two states, and keep them both week.

An Ivanski I met a few years ago to support with his residency application, explained his rationale for wanting to leave Ivanski.  His view was that the whole country was living in a permanent state of alert.  A major conflagration was expected.  He told me that as an online maths tutor, we was aware that children were being taught maths through the metaphor of violence.  'Work out the distance traveled by a missile being fired at an inclination of x degree.'  He had had enough.  People living during the second world war in the UK may understand this stress, but people in the UK never believed that it would go on forever.
