Daily Mail: Reports " Gorbachev funeral poses potential nightmare for the West - and Putin - with Ukraine war preventing statesmen or world leaders travelling to Moscow to pay respects "
Lets Get Real:
The above article is right, the idea of Western Leaders going to Moscow is out of the question, how could they go with the WAR IN THE UKRAINE, also this blog does not trust that the leaders would be secure in Moscow, Putin does not play fair or understand the rules. Of course Putin could play games with the West, declare that Gorbachev will have a State Funeral, thus forcing Western Leaders to decline going, so Putin gets the benefit of looking to Russians like a Statesman. The Western Leaders should hold a memorial for Gorbachev either in Washington D.C, London or Berlin. This would show that the West was showing respect to a great leader, while showing to Russians that their leader is a rogue leader in charge of a rogue nation. Reagan, Thatcher had a State Funerals, so Gorbachev deserves his to be a State Funeral, the West was lucky in the 80s to have Reagan in the Oval, Thatcher in No 10 and Gorbachev in the Kremlin, what ever the majority of Russians think.
