Boris Johnson clashes
with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in Moscow over attacks on Putin
regime
Spat comes after
Foreign Secretary criticised 'hostile' Russia over the war in the Ukraine and
its cyber attacks on the West
Johnson has made nearly as big an ass out of himself on this
trip as Trump has made of himself the other day in the UN General Assembly.
Johnson's is the language of the illogical and unthinking
ideologue. It's America's language.
Lavrov, always the consummate senior diplomat, was gracious.
After all, Johnson has said a lot of rubbish to the press about Russia.
Of course, Britain's ridiculous position is one it has been
forced into by the United States, a United States now aggressively pushing
almost everywhere and busy killing still in half a dozen places.
Johnson and May know as well as I do that the incompetent
government in Ukraine, busy destroying that country's economy, is solely the
result of an American-arranged coup against an elected government.
the coup was undertaken only to hurt and insult Russia right
on her border.
Once that fact is established, and it has been established
as all people who read widely and keep informed know, everything else is just
rubbish.
We have it directly from the ugly mouth of American Neocon,
Victoria Nuland, formerly of the State Department, that the United States spent
$5 billion arranging that coup.
Yet, here's Boris making a public fool of himself pushing
America's tissue of lies into the faces of very clever men who very much know
otherwise.
Pretty shameful stuff. As far as Crimea goes, the people
(almost all Russian speakers) made their wishes known.
They made their wishes known against an unpopular Kiev
government which almost immediately started taking measures to suppress the
Russian language, a language which has a history of centuries in the region.
And isn't it the residents' wishes that keeps Gibraltar or
the Falklands or even Northern Ireland British?
Talk about hypocrisy.
