Escalation in Ukraine

Western politicians want WWIII

Within days of me writing that Boris Johnson going to Ukraine signalled the next phase in Ukraine, a Russian submarine was attacked with British cruise missiles.

Yesterday morning, a Russian submarine and warship were severely damaged in Sevastopol dockyards. Analysts claimed this was the largest strike against Russian naval targets of the war.

Reliable sources said that 10 British Storm Shadow cruise missiles, which were given to Ukraine earlier in the year, were fired with seven shot down by air defences. Ukraine confirmed it was responsible for the attacks but would not officially say how.

Was this just a Ukrainian attack using British supplied missiles or were the British involved somehow. What was Boris’ real mission when he visited the country on Sunday? To tell Zelensky of the upcoming plan or to insist that the counteroffensive ramps up a notch or two?

On the same day of Boris’ visit, Ukrainian Prime Minster Volodymyr Zelensky, conducted an interview with the Economist. In it he said he was preparing for a long war and was emotionally ready. Zelensky was clearly flagging after a failed counter-offensive and Boris had been sent over to reassure him to continue.

During the interview, Zelensky started to threaten the West. “If you are not with Ukraine, you are with Russia, and if you are not with Russia, you are with Ukraine. And if partners do not help us, it means they will help Russia to win. That is it.”

And more worryingly, he said “And it would create risks for the West in its own backyard. There is no way of predicting how the millions of Ukrainian refugees in European countries would react to their country being abandoned. Ukrainians have generally “behaved well” and are “very grateful” to those who sheltered them. They will not forget that generosity. But it would not be a “good story” for Europe if it were to “drive these people into a corner”.”

These Ukrainian threats to the West have also come from Sarah Ashton-Cirillo, an American trans journalist serving as a spokesperson for Ukraine’s Territorial Defense Forces.

The latest video sees Sarah claim that next week the world will see a favourite Kremlin propagandist pay for their crimes. "And this puppet of Putin is only the first. Russia’s war criminal propagandists will all be hunted down,” she warns.

What are they planning on doing and who are they going to hunt down? All talk I’m sure but if anything were to happen to a “Kremlin propogandist”, this would be a major escalation, especially if it is a Westerner.

And make sure you ignore any mention of neo-Nazis in Ukraine. They just don’t exist. When Petro Poroshenko, President of Ukraine until 2019, posts a video of himself wearing the Black Sun insignia, it is probably just your imagination going into overdrive. Or perhaps the sun wheel which originated in Nazi Germany now has another meaning that we haven’t been told about yet.
