Our Royal family keep out of politics in public,

But if you like are you ignoring his close German ties through family, he was particularly close to his German cousins, and strongly embraced German culture. The horrors of World War I left a deep impression on him, and his wartime service, including visits to the front where he witnessed the carnage first hand, helped form his determination to avoid another global conflict at all costs.

In the early years of the Nazis rise, it is true he was impressed with the way Germany was rebuilding, he did think the political system the Nazi's had in place was positive and it is said that in private he did say to Hitler what happens in Germany, has nothing to do with the UK.

He also support the Nazi movements in the UK, but as time went by he did also distance himself and moved to the states.

But he didn't as you implied abdicate to join the Nazis, a lot about his views are kind of disputed also, i guess we will never know how much of a fascist he was, I suspect the truth isnt as clear cut.

So what's this got to do with Putin and the current crisis , did i miss the point you were trying to make?

I think what I’m saying is… I’m outraged about Putin invading Ukraine but I’m not surprised because of his fear of the West and NATO trying to get their hands on it.
Is that plain enough for you?

It just takes one mad bastard though. Unfortunately we live in a world full of selfish people. We all do have a culture of why should you do something or get something if we don’t, it’s human nature.

All it’s takes is is for one unstable leader, or someone wanting to go down in the history books, and bang a nuke is released. Soon as that happens, that’s it, 10 will follow, then 20 and before you know it human beings are the new dinosaurs.

It doesn’t just take one person tho, it’s not like there is a button in the bedroom of each leader of the worlds super powers encased in glass with the words “smash glass to end humanity”.
 
It seems like Russia are going all in on Kyiv, This bloke on sky news says most of the best ukrainian forces are in the donbas region holding their own, let's hope there's plenty in Kyiv too.
