Boris Johnson Sent to Texas to Lobby Republicans to Keep Arming Ukraine
The former British PM played a key role in scuttling peace talks between Ukraine and Russia early on in the conflict
by Dave DeCamp Posted onMay 23, 2023

Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson met with a group of Republicans in Texas on Monday to urge them to continue supporting Ukraine in its war with Russia, POLITICO reported.

The Center for European Policy Analysis (CEPA), a pro-Ukrainian think tank based in Washington, decided to enlist Johnson to push Republicans to support Ukraine as more and more GOP members have questioned the policy of flooding weapons into the country with no clear goal.

“I just urge you all to stick with it,” Johnson told a group of Texas Republicans in Dallas. “You are backing the right horse. Ukraine is going to win. They are going to defeat Putin.” While visiting Texas, Johnson also met with former President George W. Bush and Governor Greg Abbot.

Alina Polyakova, the chief executive of CEPA, said Johnson was enlisted because he is “very much seen as the architect of the Western policy” on Ukraine.

Johnson was a staunch backer of the West’s proxy war with Russia during his time in office and played an integral role in helping scuttle peace talks that were being held in the early days of the conflict. In April 2022, then-Prime Minister Johnson traveled to Kyiv and urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky not to negotiate with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

According to a report from Ukrainska Pravda, Johnson also told Zelensky that even if Ukraine was ready to sign a deal with Russia, Kyiv’s Western backers were not. The report said Johnson’s visit was a crucial factor in Ukraine calling off a potential Zelensky-Putin meeting.

Johnson was only prime minister for a little over six months after Russia launched its invasion, but he visited Kyiv three times in that period and made the trip again after stepping down.

So? Ukraine has no arms manufacturing base. It has no choice but lobby for arms if it wants to be armed. I could drag this out but there's really no point.

When lobbying for support, someone has to lobby. Boris Johnson is still a member of Parliament in a NATO country, is he not? And for some reason, there are Republicans, to include politicians who no longer support supporting freedom from tyranny.

In other words, this non-news makes perfect sense.

So, Ukraine is part of NATO?

& Boris Johnson's job, as member of parliament, is to lobby foreign nations to send arms to NON NATO countries if they've been invaded?

& Gunny, you are FAR to smart to believe that the western weapons manufacturers are backing the Ukraine and Borris's trip for the love of Freedom.
(or for tht matter the U.S state dept)

Semantical nonsense.

NATO is supporting Ukraine against Putin's unprovoked aggression.

I don't recall anyone that matters asking your opinion on Boris Johnson's job. Recognizable name in the US. Recognizable name with conservatives; which, the Republican party still is claiming to be. Brand name recognition goes a long way when it comes to lobbying for support. Again, makes perfect sense.

As far as your last comment? The facts again do not support you. I have been more than clear on more than one occasion that I am NOT okay with the fact that US arms manufacturers haven't made a move to do anything as far as increasing production. It's been in the news, more than once, from more than one or two sources. Biden is giving away our surplus without replenishing it just as he is our strategic oil reserve.

Good thing France didn't think like you when Benjamin Franklin showed on it's doorstep begging for help. We'd still be singing "God Save the King":rolleyes:

Semantical nonsense.
I think you meant Facts.





Good thing France didn't think like you when Benjamin Franklin showed on it's doorstep begging for help. We'd still be singing "God Save the King":rolleyes:

France didn't make up crap about "NATO" or "Allies" or "Freedom" or moral outrage being the reason for helping.

Unlike the BS smoke U.S. politicians are blowing (and you seem to believe) France was honest about what & WHY it was doing it.
“England is the natural enemy of France…The invariable and most cherished purpose in her polities has been, if not the destruction of France, at least her overthrow, her humiliation, and her ruin…This condition of things, as well as the care which France is bound to take care of its own preservation, authorize and even invites her to seize every possible opportunity to reduce the power and the greatness of England”
Charles Gravier, comte de Vergennes

They did not care about "freedom" anymore than Lockheed Martin or Borris Johnson does.
