Didn’t prophecy say that
“You will be invaded by the Bear from the East”
and
“The Eastern Bear will encroach over your land, and you’ll end up waging war against it”.
I think someone has got their interpretation of such prophecy - mixed up somehow.
It ain’t all Putin’s fault after all.
I await the inevitable headlines that “Brexit must be stopped, because we need UK cash to prevent the Bear taking any more of our land from us!”
…I’m sure there’s no connection with the increase in cases of Tuberclulosis, Rabies, and MRSA. Pure coincidence I’m sure.
There was me thinking that the only “ill” that Bears bestow upon the Capitalist West - was the Bear Market. 
“At the next junction, bear right please…”
