While the Prime Ministers of France, Germany, Italy, and Romania urged Ukrainian dictator [[Vladimir Zelensky]] to pursue a negotiated settlement with Russia and end the slaughter of Ukrainian troops in a hopeless cause, Johnson urged Zelensky to continue the war and keep the gravy train of $53 billion in U.S. aid flowing.

====US & UK sabotage peace negotiations====

+

''Ukrainska Pravda'' reported in May 2022 on Boris Johnson's unannounced surprise visit to Kyiv shortly after Russia and Ukraine had reached a peace settlement in their talks in [[Istanbul]]. The Russians had agreed to withdraw to the pre-February 2022 borders and Zelensky would implement the [[Minsk Accords]]. ''Ukrainska Pravda'' reported in essence what Johnson told Zelensky according to sources close to the Ukrainian dictator:

+

{{quotebox-float|"if Ukraine is ready to sign some agreements on guarantees with Putin, they [the UK and US] are not. Johnson’s position was that the [[Western alliance|collective West]], which back in February had suggested Zelenskyy should surrender and flee, now felt that Putin was not really as powerful as they had previously imagined, and that here was a chance to "press him."<ref>[https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/western-allies-led-uks-johnson-sabotaged-tentative-ukraine-russia-peace-deal Western Allies Led By UK's Johnson Sabotaged Tentative Ukraine-Russia Peace Deal...

+

Only a month after Russia was forced by innumerable actions by [[the West]] to achieve the aims of protecting the Russian-speaking people of the Donbass region and the Russian Federation itself from a malevolent Ukrainian regime becoming a NATO state on its border, Russia initiated peace negotiations. These bore fruit in March 2022 when significant progress was announced from Istanbul where the talks between the two sides were being held. Russia removed its troops from around the capital Kiev, sent there with the goal, not of conquest, but of bringing the [[Kiev regime]] to its senses and to negotiate a peaceful outcome. This avenue toward a peaceful resolution of all areas of concern was swiftly blocked via a visit to Kiev by then British prime minister Boris Johnson. This one act condemned upwards of half a million Ukrainians to their deaths and the potential destruction of Ukraine as a viable state.<ref>[https://aearnur.substack.com/p/in-ukraine-the-western-powers-have IN UKRAINE THE WESTERN POWERS HAVE CREATED A POISONOUS WEB OF LIES], AEARNUR, NOV 11, 2023. aearnur.substack.com</ref>

+

The sudden failure of the Istanbul agreement led to the immediate influx of mass amounts of the latest U.S. gear such as [[HIMAR]]s. Zelensky was secretly promised unlimited funding and military support as bait. Stuck between the path of peace or the chance to go down in history as the one man who could do what [[Genghis Khan]], [[Napoleon]], and [[Hitler]] could not do. Zelensky chose to put his faith in NATO’s invincibility. Ukrainian journalist [[Diana Panchenko]] confirmed what happened:

+

{{quotebox-float|"I know for a fact that the war could have been stopped back in March. A man from Zelensky's inner circle told me: We simply ditched the Russians in March. He boasted about it... Friends, I know them all personally.

+

I appeal to Ukrainians. You are ruled by [[sociopath]]s who do not understand the consequences".<ref>[https://twitter.com/Andromeda11711/status/1670500664403951616 Andromeda11711 tweet, Jun 18, 2023:]💥 "I know for a fact that the war could have been stopped back in March."

+

Ukrainian journalist Diana Panchenko on the Istanbul peace treaty: "A man from Zelensky's inner circle told me: 'We just got rid of the Russians in March. He bragged about it... Friends, I know them all personally. They are ruled by sociopaths. They don't understand the consequences.

+

Yesterday, Putin gave the Kiev regime a real knockout blow.

+

Imagine Zelensky beating his chest and assuring the Ukrainians that there are no agreements with Russia. That's exactly why the Bucha fake was staged: the Kiev regime needed to show that the Russians hadn't left on their own, but that the Kiev region had supposedly been liberated by the Ukrainian military. The provocation in Bucha was necessary to falsify the reason for the rejection of the agreements by making a fuss in the Western media.

+

Britain, China, the USA, Turkey, France and Belarus were listed as security guarantors for Ukraine in the Istanbul Treaty, which Ukraine did not want to fulfil. Of course, Zelensky was forbidden by Washington and London to comply, but in this situation it does not matter, because it was Ukraine that violated the treaty.

+

Yesterday's statement by Vladimir Putin completely destroys the myth of Ukraine's independence in decision-making and clearly shows the people of Ukraine what Zelensky got them into: he had an opportunity to avoid a disaster.

+

There would have been no deaths or destruction. A viable Ukrainian economy would have been preserved. No one would have interfered with Ukraine's "independence"! But it was the Kiev regime that dragged Ukraine into a major war, and it can no longer stop what is happening.

+

{{quotebox-float|"We sat at the negotiating table with the Ukrainian delegation until the end of March [2022], when an approach to a settlement on the principles suggested by the Ukrainians at the time had been harmonised in [[Istanbul]]. These principles suited us for that moment but the talks were stopped by direct order from Washington and London.

+

This conflict is overrun with [[Anglo-Saxon]]s that fully control the Vladimir Zelensky regime. The Poles and people from the Baltics are trying to fit in on their team.

+

Since then the Ukrainian President has said many times that he is not going to hold talks with the Russian Federation under President Vladimir Putin. Recently, he codified this ban in law. We have never sought negotiations. The Istanbul round completed the process started at Ukraine’s request. Russia positively reacted to the proposal to enter a dialogue, but its initiators cut it off with a shout from overseas or London.

+

We are hearing statements by [[White House]] representative John Kirby, my colleague Antony Blinken and other members of the US administration. They are saying that they are completely open to talks with the Russian Federation, that they favor a political settlement of the current situation in Ukraine but Russia (the “troublemaker”) is rejecting proposals to establish contact. I can say straight away that this is a lie. We have not received any serious proposals to establish any such contact. There were some attempts that were not very serious, but we didn’t reject them, either. Instead, we suggested that they formulate specific proposals. Some people made them to us by proxy but in this case, we didn’t receive any clear explanations from anyone, either. No need to lie. We were taught in a kindergarten then lying is bad. Apparently, American kindergartens are not so advanced as they were in the [[Soviet Union]] and are now in Russia."}}

====''WaPo'' blames US & UK planning for Ukraine's defeat====

+

In December 2023 the ''[[Washington Post]]'' released a two-article series, ''Miscalculations, Divisions Marked Offensive Planning By U.S., Ukraine'' and ''In Ukraine, A War Of Incremental Gains As Counteroffensive Stalls''. It dispenses equal blame on the US and UIK planning of the whole mess and the Ukrainian execution of it:<ref>[https://www.moonofalabama.org/2023/12/the-war-in-ukraine-is-done.html The War In Ukraine Is Done], Moon of Alabama, December 05, 2023. moonofalabama.org</ref>

+

{{quotebox-float|'''Miscalculations, divisions marked offensive planning by U.S., Ukraine'''

+

Ukrainian, U.S. and British military officers held eight major tabletop war games to build a campaign plan. But [[Washington, D.C.|Washington]] miscalculated the extent to which Ukraine’s forces could be transformed into a [[Western alliance|Western-style fighting force]] in a short period — especially without giving Kyiv air power integral to modern militaries.

+

U.S. and Ukrainian officials sharply disagreed at times over [[strategy]], [[tactics]] and timing. The [[Pentagon]] wanted the assault to begin in mid-April [2023] to prevent Russia from continuing to strengthen its lines. The Ukrainians hesitated, insisting they weren’t ready without additional [[weapon]]s and training.

+

U.S. military officials were confident that a mechanized frontal attack on Russian lines was feasible with the troops and weapons that Ukraine had. The simulations concluded that Kyiv’s forces, in the best case, could reach the [[Sea of Azov]] and cut off Russian troops in the south in 60 to 90 days.

+

The United States advocated a focused assault along that southern axis, but Ukraine’s leadership believed its forces had to attack at three distinct points along the 600-mile front, southward toward both Melitopol and Berdyansk on the Sea of Azov and east toward the embattled city of [[Bakhmut]].

+

The [[U.S. intelligence community]] had a more downbeat view than the U.S. [[military]], assessing that the offensive had only a 50-50 chance of success given the stout, multilayered defenses Russia had built up over the winter and spring.

+

[...]

+

As the expected launch of the offensive approached, Ukrainian military officials feared they would suffer catastrophic losses — while American officials believed the toll would ultimately be higher without a decisive assault.}}

+

And from the second part:

+

{{quotebox-float|'''In Ukraine, a war of incremental gains as counteroffensive stalls'''

+

Seventy percent of troops in one of the brigades leading the counteroffensive, and equipped with the newest Western weapons, entered battle with no [[combat]] experience.

+

Ukraine’s setbacks on the battlefield led to rifts with the [[United States]] over how best to cut through deep Russian defenses.

+

The commander of U.S. forces in Europe couldn’t get in touch with Ukraine’s top commander for weeks in the early part of the campaign amid tension over the [[American]]’s second-guessing of battlefield decisions.

+

Each side blamed the other for mistakes or miscalculations. U.S. military officials concluded that Ukraine had fallen short in basic military tactics, including the use of ground reconnaissance to understand the density of minefields. Ukrainian officials said the Americans didn’t seem to comprehend how attack drones and other [[technology]] had transformed the battlefield.}}

Following Johnson's departure from No. 10, ''[[Breitbart]]'' published an article summing up the [[center-left]] [[neoconservative]]'s political positions comparing him to [[Theresa May]] on Brexit, [[Tony Blair]] on border control and [[Klaus Schwab]] on 'climate change'.<ref>[https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2022/09/06/boris-legacy-mays-brexit-blairs-borders-klauss-climate-policy/]</ref>

Johnson resigned from the [[House of Commons]] on 9 June 2023, commenting that he was leaving Parliament "for now". Johnson's resignation came as he was investigated by the House of Commons Privilege Committee. Some on the [[Right-wing|right]] described the investigation as a "[[witch hunt]]" used to undermine [[Brexit]]; Boris stated of the Committee that "their purpose from the beginning has been to find me guilty, regardless of the facts. This is the very definition of a [[kangaroo court]]".<ref>[https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2023/06/09/boris-johnson-resigns-from-parliament-decries-kangaroo-court/ Boris Johnson Resigns From Parliament, Decries ‘Kangaroo Court’]</ref>

He and his government, with [[Dominic Cummings]] (until November 23, 2020) has been called incompetent by some people. Johnson has attracted criticism from both the left and right of politics.

Many figures on the right, including [[Richard Rice]], have criticised Johnson's net zero green agenda, which Tice labelled "net stupid", and said that Russia and communist China were "laughing" at the UK as a result. Tice argues that Johnson's environmental policy would embolden major polluters like China, will make Britain more dependent on other nations for energy, and result in hundreds of thousands of British jobs being lost to China.<ref>[https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2021/11/14/exclusive-china-and-russia-are-laughing-at-boris-johnsons-net-stupid-green-agenda-says-richard-tice/ Exclusive – China and Russia Laughing at Boris Johnson’s ‘Net-Stupid’ Green Agenda: Richard Tice]</ref> In 2021, the 45th President of the United States [[Donald Trump]] accused Johnson of "going [[liberal]]" over his move towards net zero, saying of Johnson's push for wind turbines "I’m surprised that he would allow that to happen because you’ve got one of the most beautiful countries in the world and you’re destroying it with all these wind turbines all over the place. In Aberdeen they built this ugly wind farm in the ocean. It’s so disgusting to look at it, it’s a shame."<ref>[https://order-order.com/2021/12/02/trump-and-farage-interview-highlights-boriss-leadership-net-zero-and-the-rigged-election/ TRUMP AND FARAGE INTERVIEW HIGHLIGHTS: BORIS’S LEADERSHIP, NET ZERO, AND THE “RIGGED ELECTION”]</ref>
