Zelenskiy’s new patron has arrived just as the Americans are ditching the Ukrainians for talks with the Russians. On February 17th, according to The Daily Telegraph, the British Prime Minister, Stamer, published an article declaring that he was”Ready and willing to send British troops into the country”, to secure the implementation of a possible future peace agreement.
Yes, the Great Yin Empire will take over the position of”New patron” and send troops to Ukraine after the U. S. withdraws its aid to Ukraine. A lot of netizens are very surprised after listening to, this is not another stir-up it? And does the UK have the capacity now? The Yam Empire seems confident about this, with British experts saying that defeating Russia on the battlefield is”Much easier than people think”. The reason? Four large-scale offensive campaigns along 2,800 kilometers of the front could do it, but the formation needed would be equivalent to about 200 divisions and 3 million troops. When they heard the last sentence, everyone couldn’t help laughing. Could Britain send 200 divisions? The British Army has fewer than 73,000 troops and NATO has only 300,000, so why 3M? Isn’t that the most ridiculous thing in the world?
As a result, Internet users have joked that: not 200 divisions, there are 200 NATO military experts enough to use Spit Russia. In fact, since the outbreak of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Britain has been playing the role of”Spoiler”, holding Europe, holding the United States, holding Russia, holding Britain, and undermining the peace talks in various ways. By the end of last year, the UK ranked third with US $13.4 billion, including US $10.8 billion in military aid and US $2.6 billion in financial aid.
And as early as November, Britain had”Restarted” discussions about sending Western troops to Ukraine, only to delay a decision. Many netizens scoffed at this, mockingly saying: “Ready-ready-ready-speed-ready-not ready”, “Will send when necessary, when necessary, do not know”. Make fierce, a onion, “Yin empire” so-called troops in Ukraine, more is a”Hi” play just. Indeed, long after the glory days of the Yin Empire, the country is not economically strong enough to rank among the world’s top five, let alone militarily, that 70,000-man army and six destroyers is a small, elite force at best. In other words, if there’s a big scene, it won’t be fun enough.
The other question, then, is why did Britain spring up at this time? Richard thinks there are two main reasons. One is the scramble for the post-war reconstruction cake. We all know that in the Russia-ukraine conflict, western countries’ so-called”Assistance” is only a cover for military action, but in fact it is to gain more control over resources in Ukraine, in particular, the vast mineral wealth of the Zelenskiy regime. Yet the Trump administration seems to have stolen a march on all this.
On February 18, U.S. Secretary of State Rubio, National Security Adviser Wuertz, and special envoy to the Middle East Kofi Witkov arrived in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, ready to hold negotiations with the Russian delegation on the question of Ukraine. After the negotiations, how will the Western countries share the cake of Ukraine? According to revelations, the US now wants 50% of Ukraine’s rare earth minerals. But talks between the US and Russia over Ukraine did not invite Europeans, causing consternation and anxiety in European capitals such as the UK. After all, Britain has”Paid” a lot in this conflict, can not be left empty-handed? Especially since the outbreak of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, in order to suppress Russia and divide up Ukraine, full support for Ukraine has become the unified opinion of different parties in Britain, there is no dispute between its political and military classes. Britain was the first country to send challenger battle tanks to the Ukrainian military, ahead of the others, and the first to announce that it had agreed to send fighter jets and long-range missiles to Ukraine. All Say Pay is gain, let Britain is about to sub-“Cake”, but not on the table, so had to clamor to send troops to Ukraine, lest the Ukrainian war extinguished. Zelenskiy, the Ukrainian president, was equally accommodating, saying”Ukraine has no information about the us-russia negotiations and refuses to participate”. The second is the Scramble for European leadership. Britain’s strong support for Ukraine in the Russia-ukraine conflict is also related to its long-term diplomatic strategy. Because Britain was isolated from the continent, its foreign policy was to prevent the emergence of a continental power that would undermine its position.
When the French were strong, they fought against the French. When the Germans rose, they joined with the Americans to contain them. When the Soviets controlled most of Continental Europe, the British were at the forefront of the fight against them. In recent years, Britain has been hoping to return to the international stage and regain its imperial glories. This can be seen in the construction of two new aircraft carriers and the dispatch of one of them to the indo-pacific region for strategic patrol last year. However, the indo-pacific region, after all, is too far away from Britain, the focus is not much, but the Russia-ukraine conflict is close at hand. Britain, which used to be an important gateway to the North Atlantic during the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, is eager to play an important role again, especially as the United States has focused on the indo-pacific region, in the future, Britain will have to rely even more on its share of European security, which will be hugely beneficial to its own standing.
It is conceivable that if Britain now becomes the most important behind-the-scenes player in the war in Ukraine, perpetuating the conflict, it could regain a significant say in European affairs after Brexit. Britain’s recent performance is more to seize the position of European leadership, as Europe’s new leader, which should also be an important reason for Britain’s positive attitude. Thus, the UK may also continue to fan the flames in the Russia-ukraine conflict, and continue to increase. Perhaps all they want is for the conflict to spiral out of control and for them to negotiate and eat their cake with good reason, whether Ukrainians live or die.
The British claim of”Safeguarding Ukraine’s security” is blatant, but in fact it is shameless. It also reflects once again that if Ukraine simply wants to rely on Western countries to provide the so-called security guarantee, what awaits it must be an abyss. Image from the web
