Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson had a mini-meltdown after being exposed during the Tucker Carlson-Vladimir Putin interview for sabotaging the Ukrainian peace deal.
During the interview, Putin confirmed reporting that first emerged last year about Johnson’s role in prolonging the war.
David Arahamiya, the leader of Ukraine’s ruling party, revealed that Johnson had scuppered a peace deal that would have put an end to hostilities just a few months after the Russian invasion.
...
Putin reiterated in his interview with Tucker Carlson that Russia supports a negotiated settlement with Ukraine, and plans were very much underway to making that happen before Boris Johnson stopped it.
...
Putin confirmed this when he stated, “He had fixed his signature to some of the provisions, not to all of it. He put his signature and then he himself said, we were ready to sign it, and the war would have been over long ago. 18 months ago. However, Prime Minister Johnson came, talk to us out of it and we missed that chance. Well, you missed it. You made a mistake.”
Johnson was clearly rattled by the revelation.
...
The only losers in this sorry affair are Boris Johnson, the hundreds of thousands needlessly killed in an avoidable war and the UK taxpayer whose billions have been squandered on a third rate actor whose only skill is to play the piano with his
...
He responded with a short video intended to go viral on social media promoting his lengthier response in a Daily Mail article.
“Around the world people are watching that ludicrous interview with Vladimir Putin conducted by Tucker Carlson,” raged Boris.
“And we must not fall for this tissue of lies, above all the notion that Putin is somehow fated to succeed in Ukraine, on the contrary, he is doomed to fail,” he added.
Johnson failed to mention the fact that hundreds of thousands of lives would have been saved if he hadn’t intervened to scupper the peace deal.
Tory MP Nadine Dorries also revealed in her book that Johnson sabotaged the peace deal.
...
Apparently, no reporters are curious enough to challenge Johnson on the revelation.
The only question is, how complicit was the Biden regime in either supporting or encouraging him to keep the peace deal?
“The only question is, how complicit was the Biden regime in either supporting or encouraging him to keep the peace deal?”
My thinking is that the Neocons sent Johnson to Ukraine to make sure the war continued because of two reasons: Biden would have screwed it up and Johnson’s flight there to Ukraine was far shorter than from DC.
The convergence of narcissism and sociopathy when it meets irrefutable truth.
Sorry, folks, but the Russia-Ukrainian war is just perfect for the neocons. Nobody important gets hurt, just a couple of hundred thousand Uke/Russkys and some unlucky civilians.
Meanwhile we use up tons of weapons and ammo and our military/industrial stocks go up and up. And don’t forget we’ll have to rebuild all that mess someday.
Johnson scuppered the negotiations. Now he's pissed off that the issue which he thought would be forgotten rises again in the public dialogue.
Whether on his own or as an emissary for Britain alone, or for the Biden administration as well, Johnson went and returned just as the deal was scuppered.
So why the anger? Using that happy, Brit verb, this may well have scuppered his political career further within Britain and perhaps the EU. Big Bucks doesn't so well with Big Controversy being under the same umbrella....
...or just to keep the US at arm’s length from the ensuing tragedy. Just like the Neocons are keeping themselves at arm’s and puppet string’s distance from the Biden presidency.
Well sabotaged - it would never have been accepted anyway as it was a Moscovia wins everything scenario
They don't want the war to end - they need to create as much new debt as possible to keep their economies from imploding.
I wish people could actually and truly understand what you wrote. Hammer meet nail.
p
Johnson and Blinken.

Amen.
Boris, Pelosi, and Gavin Newsom were hosting parties during the covid lockdowns / no masks, social distancing either.
Boris Johnson, Pelosi, daddy war bucks like General Dynamics, and their pals love wars - $$$ - do not how many innocents die.
