The Russian Invasion of Ukraine (Part 2)

yeah, well…i didnt even think of the most obvious answer…

He’s practicing French. Double V, vv. He will revert to double U, uu when he practices his english.

It does seem that way. Reports of gains along the Inhulets River in particular, though not clear on which bank.

They don’t trust their info their ovvn government is giving them. For the record, I think Belgorod is relatively safe.

more than one way to shear a sheep. surround and isolate the compound and starve them out, if they decide to tamper with the reactor they’ll die in the process as they’ll have nowhere to go.

From 16.44.
Professor Gwythian Prins
“The first phase (of 3 so far) was stopped, really, on day 4 when the blitzkrieg attack in the North to try and take out Mr Zelensky, from whom we just heard, and all his government, that was prevented; and the responsibility for that, by the way, let’s be quite clear, lay above all with one man, and that is our Prime Minister. The one who’s going to be the Prime Minister for the next few days. Without Boris Johnson, Ukraine would have fallen during that first 3 or 4 days.”

Possibly one of the most biased and arrogant statements I have heard in 2022. The journalist did not ask him to explain and corroborate his statement, vvhich is a failure by the studio. Because obviously he needs to explain such a statement.
I assume he points to intelligence, vvhich the UK and US gave to Ukraine. But vvhy he makes Johnson an icon in that statement instead of focusing on the greater intelligence sharing I don’t knovv. I have some ideas though after I googled the man and this stuff came up:

And much more.

But the Johnson government has been fantastic in this vvar, no doubt about that. I am not convinced that only Johnson is responsible for that though. His minister of defence seems much more solid.

I’m struggling to comprehend this, what was Johnson supposed to have done that made him so pivotal?

I would like to think your question was made out of genuine interest but I seriously doubt your intentions. This is a thread based on the horrific situation of war, which unfortunately the Ukraine people are currently fighting for their independence and lives and you want to question Johnson’s importance in this.
Ukraine recently award him the ‘Order of Liberty’, by the President of Ukraine, why don’t you question him? I am sure he has time in his diary to respond to your concerns :man_facepalming:t3:.

it is one thing to say that Johnson has been a major figure in the support of Ukraine, I don’t think redalways is questioning that. But Prins is something vastly more grandiose than that. He claims that Russia’s first phase of the war failed in the first four days of the way, and that the single most important element of that was somehow Boris Johnson.

How?
Not ‘shared US satellite intelligence’
Not ‘shared UK inlelligence’
Not Zelensky himself
Not the Ukrainian military or secret service.
Boris Johnson.

What exactly did BoJo do during those first 3 days, the time spanning from the crossing of the border to the attempt by Russian airborne forces to seize the two airfields. I recall an address to the Commons, I recall calls to cut Russia off from SWIFT and escalate sanctions, all of which are important. But I can recall absolutely nothing to justify the hyperbole that Boris Johnson was somehow responsible for the failure of that initial Russian strike.

Even the claim that somehow Western intelligence might deserve the lion’s share of the credit for that seems jarring.

I didn’t actually say that Johnson has been a major figure in the support of the Ukraine so please do not try to use that against me. If I have then please quote me.

Also, I am unsure to whom you actually responding to. It appears you are raising and answering your own questions. In an incoherent way.

In the end, everyone is entitled to their opinion. There is a place to voice/air it and quite frankly it is not in this thread. If the President of the Ukraine, feels compelled to award Johnson or any other person an award for their support, then who are we to question them?
