Boris Johnson Says Ukraine 'Can and Will' Win as Western Propaganda Hits Fever Pitch
Zelensky's tough talk is old and just an unfortunate act
Volodymyr Zelensky, the comedian president of Ukraine, has found that the role of a lifetime is pretending to be a heroic war leader to take down the ‘Evil Empire.’
But, as we have long noted in The Trends Journal, Ukraine will not defeat Russia and, as Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said earlier in the conflict, the U.S. wants to “see Russia weakened to the degree that it can’t do the kinds of things that it has done in invading Ukraine.”
Russian President Vladimir Putin has said Washington wants to fight Russia to the last Ukrainian.
Instead of taking a sober, measured approach to the war that he is losing, Zelensky has gotten more bellicose in his rhetoric, as though he is waging a TikTok war against Russia. Short soundbites that have zero grounding in reality on the ground.
Here are recent comments from Zelensky that might go over in a Quentin Tarantino film, but not when your country is losing a war against a much larger power. And NO HELP is on the way because the U.S. knows that it cannot defeat Russia in a conflict.
"We will take back Crimea- it is our territory. We will do this in any way which we decide. We will decide this by ourselves, without consultation with any other country in the world”
“In 2014, [Russia] decided to occupy our country, but the world didn’t give them a proper wallop. So they went on doing what they were doing. And again. And again... But now we’re giving them a wallop."
“Every new day is a new reason not to give up,” he said. “Because, having gone through so much, we have no right not to reach the end. What is the end of the war for us? We used to say, ‘Peace.’ Now we say, ‘Victory.’”
Kyiv would have been forced to negotiate for a peaceful settlement if not for the billions in “military aid” from the U.S. to keep prolonging the war.
But today was the six-month mark of the war, so politicians attempted to keep selling the conflict. Outgoing British Prime Minister Boris Johnson met with Zelensky in Kyiv and said, “Ukraine can and will win this war.”
TRENDPOST: The Trends Journal is completely opposed to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine, but—as we have long pointed out—it does not come as a surprise since Moscow views Kyiv’s partnership with the U.S. and NATO as an existential threat.
Therefore, agree or disagree with Vladimir Putin’s statements, in the Western media there is just one side to the Ukraine War: Russia aggression.
Totally ignored, as we have greatly detailed over the decades, is the United States and NATO actions that were, to Russia, moves of aggression.
Indeed, in his 9 May Victory Day speech, Russian President Vladimir Putin said, “We saw how the military infrastructure was unfolding, how hundreds of foreign advisers had begun to work there, with the most modern weapons being regularly delivered from NATO countries," he said. "The danger was growing every day. Russia offered a pre-emptive rebuff to the aggression—this was a forced, timely move and the only correct decision, one taken by a strong and independent country."
Remember When?
Long forgotten was the U.S. and NATO’S pledge not to expand into Eastern Europe following the deal made during the 1990 negotiations between the West and the Soviet Union over German reunification.
Therefore, “According to transcripts of meetings in Moscow, in the view of Russia, it is taking self-defense actions to protect itself from NATO’s eastward march.”
As detailed in The Los Angeles Times back in May of 2016, while the U.S. and NATO deny that no such agreement was struck, “...hundreds of memos, meeting minutes and transcripts from U.S. archives indicate otherwise.”
The article states:
“Feb. 9, then-Secretary of State James Baker suggested that in exchange for cooperation with Germany, the U.S. could make ‘iron-clad guarantees’ that NATO would not expand ‘one inch eastward.’ Less than a week later, Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev agreed to begin reunification talks.
“No formal deal was struck, but from all the evidence, the quid pro quo was clear: Gorbachev acceded to Germany’s western alignment and the U.S. would limit NATO’s expansion.”
Absolutely right!!
