Suzanne Harrington: Putin reminds me of a James Bond villain - Vlad the Invader

These latest developments are worrying, aren’t they? Not accepting that he cannot have something that has declared independence; sending trucks to wait symbolically outside a place he is not welcome; claiming access to smaller entities with funny names; using his followers to threaten harm. But enough about Kanye West.

Unless your name starts with a K, and your kids’ names sound like Google Maps, Vlad the Invader is the one to worry about. Not to trivialise the stalking and harassment of any woman ever – in this case Kim Kardashian by her deluded and egomaniacal ex-husband - but right now the rest of us are probably a bit more concerned about the utter whatthefuckery of Vladimir Putin.
