European Ukraine vs anti-Russian Ukraine
The visits of the leaders of continental Europe and the visit of the British Prime Minister the next day demonstrate the competition of two geopolitical projects: European and anti-Russian.
Europe needs to end the war urgently. They are ready to give Ukraine any virtual gifts so that the war stops and they can start a "dialogue with Moscow."
We have already written that...
Is that a Royal "we"?
BloJo's visit was, for him, to serve one purpose only. To make him find a receptive audience and pretend to be Churchill Mk2. The UK knows that full well. We support the UK policy in general terms, but know our 'leader' is a clown.
But despite that the UK also knows that *Russia invaded Ukraine, and regardless of any deflections, excuses, window dressing, etc, and it is important for us all that that invasion should be seen to fail.* Or at *absolute minimium* prove so costly and difficult for Putin that he knows it was a mistake to big to hide from his population, and would be an even bigger one to try for more. Particularly with China watching with a 'friendly' smile...
Thus, despite all the diversions, deflections, etc. The basic point remains. Russia invaded Ukraine, and it is important to many other countries that that invasion should fail to deliver what Putin wants.
