UK Starmer Rallies Europe Before Zelensky Visits White House!

[CharlieH]

 

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer will join a video call with European allies on Sunday, preparing for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's upcoming visit to the White House.

 

French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz will join Sir Keir, hosting the "coalition of the willing" after Trump and Putin's Alaska summit yielded no ceasefire.

 

On Saturday, Sir Keir praised Trump's efforts, stating the path to peace can't exclude Zelensky.

This follows Trump's desire to skip a ceasefire and aim for a permanent peace deal. Zelensky will head to Washington DC next week, where Trump plans to push for an agreement.

 

Sir Keir spent Saturday discussing strategies with Western allies. He expressed support for the US and Europe providing security guarantees to Ukraine, citing Trump's role in edging closer to peace.

Despite his praise, Sir Keir emphasised that until Putin ceases his "barbaric assault", allies will intensify sanctions against Russia.

 

A Downing Street source noted that US involvement is crucial for any peace deal to include security arrangements.

After speaking with Trump, Zelensky called for true peace, not just a temporary halt. He stressed the importance of Kyiv’s involvement in all future talks, warning of increased Russian aggression as talks approach.

 

Zelensky anticipates heightened pressure and strikes from Russia, aiming to manipulate negotiations with global powers. The coalition’s efforts underscore the critical stage of diplomatic maneuvers in the ongoing conflict.

Trump only allows to include Zelensky because he failed on his own.

I have such a feeling, or maybe I should say hope, that it ends like the previous visit.

The only aspect to this whole affair that might give Zelensky hope......is Trump's overriding obsession with being awarded a Nobel Peace prize.

 

Without that obsession I doubt he would meet either Putin or Zelensky.

You might enjoy living on your knees in obedience to an autocrat, but real men prefer freedom, and are willing to fight for it.

 

I suppose you'd also advise women being raped to just lay back and enjoy the violation, since that is what you expect the people of Ukraine to do as Putin rapes that sovereign nation.

I agree, 'part' of the job.

Starmer will do a runner instead of facing the problems in the UK. He will answer his critics with the old im trying to do a deal to end the war in Ukraine its an easy deflection. He has never addresed the Country in a filmed statement answering questions about his leadership and how he will solve the problems escalating, he prefers to go MIA.

He has no need to, as he has over 4 years left in Government before there is a General Election.

Ah, so he's going to each country to do the video call?  Must be taking his laptop with him to do it from the hotel room. Interesting.

Starmer is the UK PM, that is where his focus should lie.

 

You are aware, that one of the PM's nicknames is " Never here Keir "

 

He is never here, because he doesn't have a clue what to do, how to fix anything, and it is all going breasticles up.

 

Just like 

 

the number of Demonstrations across the Country are going up

 

Inflation is going up

 

Unemployment is going ip

 

National debt is going ip

 

The cost of servicing that debt is going up

 

Numbers of illegals are going up

 

The cost of those illegals is going up.

 

The list goes on.

 

Only Dianne Abbott and classmates, think these UPs is the UK moving in the right direction.

Starmer doesn't rally anything, he does as his EU masters tell him to do.

Still, at least the Tories are no longer in power.

Was that meant to be a smart and educated response ?
 

It wasn't very clever by any stretch of the imagination. When you consider that 1 year in, Labour would get hoofed, if a GE was held tomorrow.

 

Unlike some, I am not blaming Labour for all the current woes, I am blaming them for making those woes even worse, highlighted above.

 

Which shows that Starmers / Labour cries of " We have a plan ready to go from day 1 " was more lies.

 

£22 Bn black hole was the warcry, they have even managed to turn that into a £40-50 Bn black hole.

 

That is how dung Labour are.

Really? LGBT people are well integrated and accepted, so are minorities such as Muslim, Indian, farangs  etc... Thailand has been "woke" long before Western countries.
