British Prime Minister Boris Johnson let it all lay out today in an op-ed in the New York Times full of hypocrisy and lies, with “6 Steps the West Must Take To Help Ukraine Right Now.” He seems incapable of making a simple sentence without including a lie. For instance:
“Never in my life have I seen an international crisis where the dividing line between right and wrong has been so stark.” The killing of one-half million innocent Iraqis based on a lie was quite within his lifetime, not to mention the ongoing genocide against millions of the Afghan civilians.
“… as the Russian war machine unleashes its fury on a proud democracy.” See the mounting documentation in this briefing of the Nazi policies of an extremely undemocratic country.
“Russia’s reckless attack on the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant reminds us just how grave the stakes are for everyone.” It is now demonstrated that there was no “attack” on the nuclear power station other than the Nazis setting fire to an office building far from the reactors.
“We have no hostility toward the Russian people.” In fact the sanctions are explicitly aimed at the destruction of the Russian economy, threatening the lives of all its people.
“We were ready to respond to Russia’s stated security concerns through negotiation.” The fact is they refused absolutely to even respond to Russia’s security proposals.
I could go on, but let’s look at his “6 (Goose) Steps.” In brief, they are a “coalition of the willing.” Bojo reports that he is meeting in London with the leaders of Canada and the Netherlands on March 7, and the leaders of Poland, Slovakia, Hungary and the Czech Republic on March 8. Next, more arms to Ukraine. Total economic war on Russia, all banks out of SWIFT and “wean” Europe off Russian oil and gas. No normalization of relations with Russia after the war. “No new Yalta, decided over the heads of the people of Ukraine, by external powers.” And lastly, bolster NATO and “supporting non-NATO European countries that are potentially at risk of Russian aggression, such as Moldova, Georgia and the nations of the western Balkans. And those that participate or enable Russian aggression, such as Belarus, will be subject to maximum sanctions.”
It is clear how far Mr. Johnson is from a Peace of Westphalia.
