Did Davyd Arakhamia state that Boris Johnson told Ukraine not to sign a peace treaty

 And, I have explained why three times now, with AI checks and many references.  Again you skip my point.

From your ChatGPT explanation:

Arakhamia emphasized that Johnson's advice was not an order but rather a recommendation, and that Western allies, including the UK, had consistently advised against entering into security guarantees with Russia that were not credible at the time .

Exactly.. and I have told you why they were not credible, because Putin.

No.

In the fourth round:

 

"By 16 March, Mykhailo Podoliak was assigned as the chief negotiator for the Ukrainian peace delegation, who indicated that peace negotiations of a 15-point plan would involve the retraction of Russian forces from their advanced positions in Ukraine, along with international guarantees for military support and alliance in case of renewed Russian military action, in return for Ukraine not pursuing further affiliation with NATO."

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace_negotiations_in_the_Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine

 

That's what Ukraine wanted. "Security Guarantees". Biden, Kamala and Johnson knew this. They had zero intention to provide these. It's not that they couldn't. They simply were not prepared to go to war with Russia and risk nuclear annihilation over Ukraine NATO membership. 

 

So Biden sent Johnson to deliver the message to Zelensky: "Sign and you will not have the support of the US or  UK".  Just fight.

 

With those "security guarantees" the talks become meaningless. Zelensky then had to fight.

 

This is what happened.

Lie by omission again, and fog rebuttal ignoring my point. I address my original point, posted February 28 to wit:

.. it was never agreed, which exposes one Putin lie when he held up a draft and said Ukraine had signed it. He was referring to the head negotiator's initialing the draft.

.. The big lie was Putin's requirement that all guarantors must give unanimous written consent before anyone aids Ukraine against another Russian invasion. Duh. That required Russia to agree to being attacked. Another Putin fib, i.e., that there was ever a legitimate agreement, and why the West recommended not signing, but Ukraine already knew.

For your comfort, I again verified these facts by AI analysis including the below conclusions. I can PM you the full long analysis.

Claim: Russia’s Demand for Unanimous Consent Was a Deal-Breaker

Here you go, full interview below. He says several things the "conspiracy theorists" have been saying for years (and quite a few people on this forum won't want to hear them), such as:

 

- Covid was lab-engineered

- Fauci was involved in the engineering

- The mRNA vaccines contain cancer-causing ingredients such as SV40 and nucleic acids

 

The exact quote on Long Covid is:

 

"I… you know, one of the problems… and I'm controversial on this. People in the industry don't like me for what I'm about to say. My son is probably telling me not to say it right now in my ear. But, I don't think the vaccine industry should have immunity.

I think they should have responsibility, like any other manufacturer of any other product for their product. And I'm particularly concerned about this now because, you know, my clinical practice right now, which I'm still in two half days a week, is largely COVID and long COVID. But among my, quote, long COVID patients are people that don't have long COVID, but they have mRNA vaccine injury.

And, it's, you know, there's not a clear path for them to have their injury recognized and compensated, and I think that's wrong. I think, hopefully, Kennedy will have a critical review, not saying that the mRNA vaccines aren't safe, not saying they shouldn't…

Let's just have an objective review by the FDA. Marty… Marty, you gotta review these products. Let's see the safety data. Don't tell me you're holding it off till 2026. No. I want the safety data out there."

 

 

Yep, watched again, and again he did not say what you initially quoted from the SLAY article. I,e.,

"He explains in the interview that his surgery is flooded with patients who have been led to believe they have “Lond Covid.”

However, he notes that the vast majority of those patients are actually suffering from an injury caused by the Covid mRNA"

So if you come across where he says that let me know. You may think changing facts a little is OK. In real science it's a cardinal sin. As I said, I agree with everything Redfield did say. Also that it came from a lab, I've known since Jan 16, 2020.

I think there is a bit of "truth" in the it rains so we get a cold  but only because at the start of a rain storm there will often be a big wind that stirs up all the dust laying around which goes into eyes,nose and mouth.

 

I like to joke with the Thais that I can't go out in the rain because I'll melt  but daily shower is no plomplem.

That' like what my wife said!  When it starts to rain, pollution like PM 2.5 is washed out of the air along with viruses that may be present, she said. Studies in China have shone heavily polluted air can carry respiratory viruses.

The other part is that getting  cold and wet in the wind and rain can weaken your immune system. Particularly if it chills your nasal passage. Colds like, well, cold! They replicate better at 33C than 37C.  No wonder they call it a cold.

Although we're in the rainy season, rain is supposed to clean the environment, in fact humidity favors the transmission of viruses and can worsen the condition of those with respiratory problems… We are in trouble… Again.🤔

Thailand's respiratory season, including influenza,  aligns with the rainy season also because Thai are predominantly outdoors people but spend more time indoors when it rains.  

Not sure they fully understand though. Yesterday my wife and I walked 20 meters to a convenience store in a very light drizzle (you could count the drops on one hand) but she insisted we go back up 20 floors to get an umbrella. Asked why she said she might get a cold.

What is your take on top virologist Dr. Robert Redfield, who served as the director of the CDC during the Covid crisis, who claims that reports of so-called "Long Covid" are actually a cover-up for mRNA vaccine injury?

 

Since leaving his federal government position at the end of President Donald Trump’s first term in January 2021, Redfield has focused on treating patients in his medical practice.

He explains in the interview that his surgery is flooded with patients who have been led to believe they have “Lond Covid.”

However, he notes that the vast majority of those patients are actually suffering from an injury caused by the Covid mRNA “vaccine” they received.

"He explains in the interview that his surgery is flooded with patients who have been led to believe they have “Lond Covid.”

Can you point me to the interview where he says this? I can't find it. The one minute sound clip in the SLAY article says something different including "... not saying the mRNA vaccines are not safe, lets just have an objective review... ".

BTW, I like Redford a lot. His objectivity is well beyond many of our posters here...

Frank Whittle and Fritz von Ohain.......progenitors of the turbojet:

 

"At first upset because he believed von Ohain had only developed his engine after seeing Whittle's patent, he eventually became convinced that von Ohain's development really was his own. The two became good friends, and often toured the US giving talks together. In 1991 von Ohain and Whittle were awarded the Charles Stark Draper Prize for their work on turbojet engines."

 

https://www.solarnavigator.net/inventors/frank_whittle.htm

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_jet_engine

"Years later, it was admitted by von Ohain in his biography that this was so (he was aware of Whittle's patent). Author Margaret Conner states ″Ohain's patent attorney happened upon a Whittle patent in the years that the von Ohain patents were being formulated". Von Ohain himself is quoted as saying "We felt that it looked like a patent of an idea" "We thought that it was not seriously being worked on." As Ohain's patent was not filed until 1935, this admission clearly shows that he had read Whittle's patent and had even critiqued it in some detail prior to filing his own patent and some 2 years before his own engine ran."

But it's always like that. And, how can two crazies who spend their time trying to invent the same thing not become friends?

The first patent was from a french in 21 if Im not mistaken and totally forgot my earlier knownledge. Need to google

But all is mute, from your link!   Jet engines can be dated back to the invention of the aeolipile around 150 BC. This device used steam power directed through two nozzles so as to cause a sphere to spin rapidly on its axis.

Which is impressive as far as ideas go.

From the very beginning, we are all copy cats, but when someone have some breakthrough, and makes cheaper tech and reliable delivery, the rest getting  lazy. Until, they are forced to start and using resources themselves, they ending up making things better than original.

 

Where did the world get the jet engine blue prints from in the first? The nazis! Then go and figure the rest

Well, the jet engine was actually invented and patented in England by Frank Whittle in 1930. The Germans later came up with the same idea in the mid 1930s and developed it rapidly  going into WW2. 

It's correct to say China's high-end jet engine industry is still well behind the rest of the world. There are many kinds of jet engines, ones used in commercial aircraft are called high bypass turbo fans.  According to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Chinese_aircraft_engines]  (bottom box) China has few if any finished products currently in use. Whereas the West has been making these engines for decades. 

Many of China's early jet engines used for fighters were derived from Soviet technology or licensed. Commercial high bypass turbo fans are a big technology, materials, and manufacturing challenge because they must be powerful, very efficient, very quiet, and extremely reliable. If the next generation engine is 10% more efficient, the last generation is no longer useful.

Like the only time an aircraft's wheels are not braked or locked, and it's being towed?

When the aircraft carrier is like this?

are you a supporter of Israel like many here? Its quite hypocritical to say i am supporting a thief

Crimeans voted to join Russia, the land region Putin has now in the East is not being given back, Z man had a choice to negotiate in the beginning, he didn't, tough luck for him, will Israel give back the Golan?

You choice of the words 'given back' says it all.

then you'll believe that Russia gets to determine how other sovereign nations conduct themselves, and has the right to invade anytime the czar is displeased.

This is not a "belief". 

 

This is the reality of the world. Just as the USA gets to determine how other sovereign nations conduct themselves, witness Panama being invaded when they sold secrets to Cuba, if those sovereign nations are in the US sphere of influence, so does Russia get to determine how other sovereign nations conduct themselves, if they are in the Russian sphere of inluence.

 

And Ukraine conducted herself abominably, jumped into bed with hansum man America and then did a gangbang with Europe on top, when its boyfriend Russia was paying her energy bills. Cheating is an ugly betrayal, and Ukraine now pays the price.

No. This is neither belief nor reality. It is a choice.

One the West and free world must make. History, especially that of Russia and Vladimir Putin, has recorded the peril of allowing Putin to drag the world back to the gory glory days of slaughtering cultures and territorial conquest.  Not viable with nukes.

How does the West have the ability to chose? Because of NATO's 50 trillion GDP combined  with other freedom loving  countries. Putin is peanuts.
