Writing in today’s Daily Mail Boris Johnson says Starmer should stop ‘pussyfooting around’ and let ‘heroic’ Ukraine use British Storm Shadow missiles inside Russian territory. Apparently they are ‘bunker busters.’
Speaking of which, does Johnson have a bunker underneath his Oxfordshire home? He may need it, since Russia has made clear it reserves the right to retaliate against third parties who lend their military resources to Ukraine. Does Boris’ first-class brain comprehend what he and his Green Goddess will face when they finally open the airtight hatch and climb out into an ashen landscape?
Or will he and his family be on a plane halfway to New Zealand when the ‘99 red balloons’ go by? They have no bolt-hole there yet, as far as I know.
By contrast, Rishi already has a second home in California, having signed a perilous ten-year 'security agreement’ with Zelensky in January, warned of nuclear escalation in May and, allegedly not wanting to be a war leader, called an early General Election he was certain to lose. The Sunaks will be okay, if they move in time.
It’s not just the British who have gone mad… or rogue: the G7 declared joint support for Ukraine a year ago, France signed a UK-style security agreement with Ukraine six months ago, and the US another in June.
It’s coordinated.
Do European leaders carry burner phones dedicated to messages from Washington, like husbands conducting furtive affairs?
Does the US think there will be no use of nuclear weapons in Europe? Or do its war planners believe the escalation will stop there and America will be safe?
