Blood on the Tracks By Richard Miller (London)

Former British prime minister, Boris Johnson, was accused by Vladimir Putin in the Tucker Carlson interview, of destroying a peace deal between Russia and the Ukraine just before the war started. In response, Johnson said that this was a lie. But, it seems he did not think that there may still be people around who would fact check him. As detailed below, David Arahamiya, leader of Ukraine's ruling party, that was reported in Newsweek on November 27, 2023, "Russia Offered to End War if Ukraine Dropped NATO Bid: Kyiv Official."

So, Boris Johnson lied about him derailing the peace deal, even when this information was freely available. Politics now is really post truth.

" Former British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, and the mainstream media are hotly denying Vladimir Putin's claim (in his recent Tucker Carlson interview) that Johnson derailed a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine just a couple of months after the war commenced.

And yet, Putin was merely confirming the statement of David Arahamiya, leader of Ukraine's ruling party, that was reported in Newsweek on November 27, 2023: Russia Offered to End War if Ukraine Dropped NATO Bid: Kyiv Official.

The German analyst and Former United Nations Assistant Secretary General, Michael von der Schulenberg, also published a reconstruction of these events on November 14, 2023, titled How The Chance Was Lost For A Peace Settlement Of The Ukraine War.

The totality of circumstances and the statements of Arahamiya and von der Schulenberg indicate that an Austrian-style neutrality deal could have prevented this war to begin with, and then—had it been embraced by the the USA and Britain—ended it just two months later.

Since Churchill delivered his June 4, 1940, "We shall fight on the beaches" speech, many postwar heads of state have apparently fantasized that their opponents on the international stage are "just like Hitler" and that there can be no negotiated settlement with them.

In BoJo's case, this shallow, sophomoric notion has apparently resulted in the needless deaths of hundreds of thousands of young Ukrainian and Russian soldiers."
