Here is an article on Russia Today about the collapse of Western support for the Zelensky Regime in Kiev. Because Britain is an authoritarian police state where dissent is closely censored, it has not been possible to access Russia Today since 2022. Well, it has been possible—but only for political fanatics who have a VPN. Political fanatics, that is, and teenage boys who like spending their free moments on Pornhub.

I suppose I could link to some report in the regime media, but there is a value in reminding people how censored opinion is in Britain. Also, the regime media is not to be trusted on the full extent of the debacle that has been the Ukraine War.

At the heart of this debacle is Boris Johnson. In the early days of the war, there were credible reports that Russia and the Ukraine were on the verge of a peace settlement. But Johnson, still wallowing in his disastrous spell as British Prime Minister, and desperate to outwade even Winston Churchill in the bloodpool of British foreign policy—flew to Kiev and strong-armed Zelensky into continuing the war. The result? Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian dead, a collapsed economy, and a country on its knees. Not that Johnson cares. He is too busy signing book deals and appearing at think tank dinners to notice the catastrophe he helped engineer.

If justice meant anything in the modern world, Johnson would be standing trial at The Hague. Before Benjamin Netanyahu is somehow arrested, it should be Johnson in the dock, charged with crimes against humanity for forcing Ukraine into a suicidal war. But of course, The Hague is nothing more than a kangaroo court, designed to punish those who have fallen out of favour with the Anglo-American empire. Putin, we are told, must be tried for war crimes—but not the Western leaders who instigate, prolong, and profit from endless bloodshed. Not Biden, not Sunak, and certainly not Johnson.

Now, even the Americans are admitting that this war is unwinnable. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has openly acknowledged that Ukraine is being “destroyed” and that the conflict must end through negotiations. Speaking on Sirius XM’s The Megyn Kelly Show, Rubio admitted that the entire Western narrative—that Ukraine could defeat Russia and reclaim all lost territory—was a dishonest fantasy. What has actually happened is that Ukraine has been set back a hundred years, its energy infrastructure obliterated, and its population scattered across Europe, perhaps never to return.

The Biden administration once promised to back the Ukraine “for as long as it takes,” but reality has brought its inevitable reckoning. The war is a stalemate at best—at worst, the Ukraine is losing steadily. The only reason the war continues is that Western arms and funding keep it going. As Putin correctly pointed out, if this support were cut off, the Ukraine’s government would collapse in a matter of weeks. The West has been using the Ukraine as a proxy in its shadow war against Russia while feigning concern for the Ukrainian people. Now that the game is up, the only option left is to negotiate.

The truth about this war has been carefully hidden from the public. We are told it is a fight for democracy, yet the Zelensky Regime has banned opposition parties and shut down critical media outlets. We are told Russia is on the brink of defeat, yet it continues to advance methodically, grinding down Ukrainian forces while the West scrambles to scrape together another ‘counteroffensive’ that will achieve nothing but more dead teenage conscripts. We are told our economies are fine, yet inflation soars and energy costs have crippled European industry. The political class, from Labour to the Tories, is united in its delusions. The media parrots the same falsehoods. Anyone who questions the narrative is smeared as a ‘Putin apologist,’ their dissent crushed beneath the weight of regime propaganda.

This war was never about democracy or human rights. It was about power. It was about ensuring the Ukraine remained a vassal of the West, a cudgel to be used against Russia in an endless and bloody game of geopolitical chess. It was about sustaining the arms industry, which has grown fat on a war that shows no sign of ending. And it was about leaders like Boris Johnson, who saw a chance to posture as statesmen while ordinary people bled and died. Ubi solitudinem faciunt pacem appellant.

None of this was inevitable. A peace deal was possible. A negotiated settlement could have been reached. But Johnson and his handlers in Washington wanted war, and war is what they got. The people of the Ukraine have paid the price. The people of Britain have paid the price. And the only ones who have profited are the arms manufacturers, the warmongers, and the politicians and their own parasites who will never set foot on a battlefield.

Now, even Rubio—an American neoconservative—admits what should have been clear from the beginning: this war must end, and it must end now. One day, the full scale of this betrayal will be recognised. But by then, it will be too late. The Ukraine will be a broken country, its population scattered or dead. Britain will be further weakened, its resources wasted on a lost cause. And Boris Johnson will be somewhere far away, safe in the knowledge that no one in power will ever hold him to account.
