Ed is spot on. Criticism of coke head Zelensky is now the new heresy in the UK. Even the right wing media is pro WW3. I Suppose they've always been pro war. The Times is basically written by MI6 as far as the war is concerned. The others are various offshoots from the pro war propaganda campaign. And they use celebrity tittle tattle and football to distract the masses from the truth.
This largely reflects what YouTuber Academic Agent has called the Boomer-Truth Regime, where every major conflict is framed as a repeat of Churchill vs. Hitler, as if it's still 1939. The failure or complete ignoring of the fatuous Starmer-Macron peace plan and the inevitable defeat and capitulation of Ukraine, will likely discredit what is left of this outdated and oppressive regime and then hopefully we can move forward on a more realistic basis.
A bigger danger is if Europe continues to block a peace deal between Trump and Putin, so that, as Jeffrey Sachs warns, America washes its hands of Ukraine, of NATO and of Europe altogether. European nations would then be tempted to massively rearm and with some countries sticking with centrist or leftist governments while others switch to Hungarian-style populism, disputes would be rife and the temptation to use those militaries would arise. Which indeed might lead us back to 1939.
How has the reaction to the Oval Office debacle been in Finland? In the UK the media, all forms, all commentators have universally condemned Trump / Vance as at best cruel bully boys and at worst literal Russian agents. Zelenskyy meanwhile is the 'Ukrainian Churchill ' and the 'most courageous man since 1945'. This reaction is identical on both the establishment left and the controlled right wing, The Guardian and The Telegraph are trying to out do each other with their virtue signaling! The UK has absolutely lost it's shit over this and tbh it is not obvious to me why that is the case. At least in so far as the UK is THE most fanatical in their support of Ukraine and condemnation of all things Russian.
The British signed a minerals deal with UKR days before Trump was inaugurated. This is all about prolonging the war and keeping Z in power so any deal is honoured. Similarly, the EU have reconstruction deals, which they plan to execute using seized Russian assets - EUR250bn worth. For these deals to not become worthless, the warmongers need this puppet to stay in power. No war means no martial law, which means elections and an opposition win. The person who replaces Z could be more neutral and declare the deals with the UK and EU are worthless. They were struck in the 6th year of his 5 year term, so this is unconstitutional. Hence the UK and EU getting their panties in a twist declaring war with Russia. Without stolen UKR and Russian assets, the EU and UK may face oblivion. For Zelensky, he is bought and paid for. The deal with neocons/UK must have been something like: get UKR into NATO and you get X billions. If not, you get a lot less. Z sold out to the devil.
The Conservative party (the Tories). However, they are more centre left than right in the political spectrum as of today, especially when it comes to immigration and woke. The equilibrium in the UK is a lot more to the left than that in the US. But don't be fooled: the left means totalitarianism, censorship, oligarchy, forever wars - a lot of the things formerly associated with the right. It's all a big mind-f*ck. It's all globalist totalitarianism by increments and by stealth.
Well said Ed. I don't necessarily agree with all you that you state. But agreement isn't necessary, or even desirable in various instances, diversity of opinion and ideas and the ability to speak freely without fear or favour is. As is the ability to disagree and discuss differences of opinion, etc. Along with the ability to agree to disagree, as once was. Keep up the good work.
In the U.S. I find the younger rightwing generations to be more sympathetic to Russia, whom they see as keeping the flame of white Christendom and/or western civilization, while the older generations are stuck in the rut of equating Russia to the USSR. Is it this way in the U.K. as well?

The Times, Telegraph are the main warmongers for the moderates. The Sun for the 'plebs'. The Guardian for the liberal Marxist tofu elite.

Which parties represent the controlled right in the UK?
The Conservative party (the Tories). However, they are more centre left than right in the political spectrum as of today, especially when it comes to immigration and woke.

Nuance a IQ test that most people fail

I'm more in favour of Russia in this conflict. They have the moral high ground (insofar as one exists) and are opponents of GAE, which is The Enemy.
