Starmer tells Putin to stop playing games and get serious about Ukraine peace deal. Prime minister will tell Western countries they should …
These are not the 1930s, it is a moot point as to who comes closest to the Hitler role, but it is not Vladimir Putin – by R.J Cook
Comment Starmer was the head of his country’s corrupt Crown Prosecution Service ( CPS ) which withheld key evidence from the defence to send innocent men, like Anfrew Malkinson to jail. He got his mandatory knighthood and sense of his own importance out of it. In the process he empowered corrupt police and has no right to make moral judgements about anything or anybody let alone preen and posture on the world stage.
Starmer’s war mongering is already costing his lower order tax payers massively. Now they will see their sons conscripted for what could suddenly be all out World War III. His arrogant diktat to Vladimir Putin is patronising and offensive. Old buffers and military fantasists will see it all as a chance for glorious sacrifice for pretentious Litte Britain. Here its major claim to fame is being the financial centre of the western world. That is important because this war is all about power, greed and profit for the privileged few.
Those of us acquainted with history know that Anglo U.S led NATO provoked the current multi million dollar, pound and Euro bloodpath for the lavish life styles and power of those affecting to govern and oppress us in the name of their grotesque freedom. Putin would be an idiot coming to heel for this pompous moralising dictator Starmer. He like Macron, has delusions of grandeur.
Meanwhile the U.K cost of living accelerates to pay for Ukraine’s self inflicted suicidal war, with worst to come. On the home front, Starmer is following in the footsteps of Thatcher and Blair in covering for rising unemployment, massive ethic immigration for cheap compliant labour and a production line of laws to manage the inevitable conflicts and insatiable demands of politically correct diversity.
Starmer is a dangerous man. Comparisons with the 1930s, the rise of Hitler and appeasement are trite simplistic drivel to frighten the masses. These are not the 1930s with the consequences of a punitive peace settlement on Germany. This is an age of abundance, high tech and abnormal profits for a minority elite. It is a moot point as to who is expected to be the appeaser here. In my view it is Vladimir Putin who is expected to grovel. By the way, Putin has been forced into a defensive war. NATO has not fought one defensive war in its entire existence.

Russia says it’s in final stage of regaining Kursk territory as US team heads to Moscow for talks
- The Kremlin says President Putin has been told Russian forces are in the final stage of the operation to drive Ukraine from territory it seized across the border in Kursk
- Putin made a surprise visit to Kursk on Wednesday – the first since Ukraine’s incursion last August – with Russian media reporting he ordered the military to “fully liberate” the region
- The head of Ukraine’s military, Oleksandr Syrsky, also indicated that some of its troops were withdrawing from Kursk
- It comes as US officials are headed to Russia to discuss a potential 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine
- Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky says the country is “determined” to work “as quickly as possible” with its partners towards peace. Meanwhile, Putin has yet to comment on the offer
- Fighting continues as both Ukraine and Russia have reported drone attacks overnight
Crimea and eastern Ukraine regions are ‘Russian’, says Peskov published at 09:3709:37
A bit more now from Peskov.
Responding to Zelensky’s comments that Ukraine will not accept the annexation of any territory, Peskov says: “Crimea, Sevastopol, Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk and Luhansk are Russian regions.
“They’re in the Russian constitution.”
He adds that it would be “wrong” to discuss possible negotiating positions publicly before talks begin.
“Let’s not forget that they haven’t started,” he says.
‘Across the world and across the U.K‘
Comment Mr Peskov is correct. It is also true that the arrogant patroninising U.K elite and their lackeys, expert in subverion, propaganda and other insidious rechniques, were leaders in provoking and sustaining this planet eating war. It makes a mockery of their moralising leadership of the absurd drive to net zero. Fallout from the Ukraine War has had massive negative impact on climate change.
The tentacles of the U.K elite’s new form BBC broadcasting ‘across the world and across the U.K‘ makes them ever more dangerous. They only left the EU to avoid the threat of EU financal regulation on the City of London and to exert more direct influence on the United States. Ninety percent of the U.K is owned by 10% of the population. Ninety percent of this tiny islnand’s population live on 10% of the land. The migrants, legal and illegal keep comining, growing alongside a growing underclass where poverty exceeds that of the Edwardian era.
To contain the inevitable conflict and social unrest, as we saw with Stockport, arrogant leaders like Starmer create more oppressive laws to control and direct speech and extend the public space into peoples homes , assuming they have one, as increasing numbers live on the street, in jail or in lunatic asylums.
Politcians of Starmer’s ilk, know that there is no better way of distracting the masses than by relishing the opportunites of war. Thatcher reinvented that strategy, with bells on, when she brazenly started the Falklands War in 1982, thus diverting attention from her evil economic policies and their social consequences. To get re elected, so called Labour became Thatcherite New Labour and then New New Labour, trading Labour.
Significantly Starmer. has still made no apology for what the corrupt target driven Crown Prosecution did to Andrew Malkinson et al under his leadership. He is a very ambitious man who expressed a right to a freebie exclusive box, where he could watch his favourite football team, affecting his global image as ‘a person of the people.’

A message from the U.K Dictatorship – R.J Cook.
Starmer: Russia must agree to ceasefire published at 19:5619:56
Reaction is continuing to pour in, with UK PM Keir Starmer the latest to “warmly welcome” the news coming out of Saudi Arabia this evening.
“This is an important moment for peace in Ukraine and we now all need to redouble our efforts to get to a lasting and secure peace as soon as possible,” Starmer says in a statement.
He repeats a phrase used by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio: “The ball is now in the Russian court”.
He adds: “Russia must now agree to a ceasefire and an end to the fighting too.”
“We are ready to help bring an end to this war in a just and permanent way that allows Ukraine to enjoy its freedom,” Starmer says – announcing that he’ll convene leaders this weekend to discuss “next steps”.
Comment Starmer was a danger to justice as head of his country’s Crown Prosecution Service (CPS). He is now a danger to the U.K masses and wider world as he struts the world stage. He has taken on Johnson’s role as European rabble rouser for World War Three.
His very presence on the world stage will have alarmed Vladimir Putin as much as he he alarms me. As I have said, democracy is just a word. His and Macron’s sort think in very fixed olld fashioned patronising terms in a time warp. Here the only concept necessary is to compare all enemies to Adolph Hitler. I don’t believe the pompous overrated morons in charge of western politics realise that we are very close to Nuclear War. Intelligent people should ask 1) Why should Russia accept the proposed peace deal? 2) What will happen of they don’t ? R J Cook
Russia is winning so U.S panders to EU and U.K with the following trap. If Putin says no, he will be labelled a war criminal – R J Cook
Ukraine says it is ready to accept 30-day ceasefire, as US says ‘ball now in Russia’s court’
- Ukraine says it is ready to accept a US proposal for an initial 30-day ceasefire with Russia, in a joint statement
- Washington will also immediately restore intelligence sharing and “security assistance” to Ukraine
- US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says “the ball is in the [Russians’] court”, and he will take the offer to Moscow
- That offer is for a complete ceasefire – “to stop the shooting”, say Rubio
- This follows talks between US and Ukrainian teams in Saudi Arabia on ending the war in Ukraine
Comment The U.S needs this ceasefire as much as Ukraine. The DOW has dropped over 1000 points and the nation is mirred in $36 trillion debt and rising. Ukraine and its CIA friends have been working for war ever since the Minsk Agreement which Ukraine violated. They are a treachorous and corrupt neighbours. The EU and U.K cannot wait to embrace these strange bedfellows. Ukraine’s agreement with the U.S has been made on the basis that there is a lot in it for them, especially their westernised feminist rulinng elite who look forward to ever more lavish and ego gratifying lifestyles at their ignorant masses expense. R.J Cook
Elite Times
Comment All the U.S and EU enthusiasm for a minerals deal with Zelensky and corrupt Ukraine needs treating with caution. Once established, whatever the security gurantees, the reality will trap the United States into protecting war mongering Zelensky’s dictatorship and EU, plus U.K, Imperialist associates.
U.K and France are shouting very loudly, with Starmer and Macron meeting again today and tomorrow, for the EU Imperialist ambitions.
I can’t help wondering when Russia will see no alternative to sending hyper sonic missiles, nuclear or not, to Kiev and beyond. Meanwhile, the BBC is broadcasting their version of truth “across Britain and the Umited States”.

Far-right supporters of the candidate claim decision is undemocratic and Elon Musk describes his ban as ‘crazy’
Comment Elon Musk needs to understand that democracy is just a word. Years ago I watched a child’s TV programme called ‘Twizzle’. He lived in ‘Topsy Turvey Land’ and drove a brealdown truck. In ‘Topsy Turvey Land’, everything was upside down.
How ‘far wrong’ is Calin Georgescu, and his demonised allegedly ‘far right’ supporters for not wanting their country caught in the cross fire of what is really an EU Imperialist war on Russia and its culture. Their lunatic ego maniac Ukrainian Zelensky proxy seems determined on a World Nuclear War. Sleek Von Der Leyen is right behind him.
” Oh what a lovely war.”

First there was Tesla-Scham, German for the embarrassment of owning one of Elon Musk’s electric vehicles. Now a backlash is brewing against his satellite-internet system Starlink.
The billionaire’s abrasive interventions into politics and his outsized role in shaping US policy in his capacity as senior adviser to President Donald Trump is having a real-life impact on his businesses, prompting governments from Italy to Poland to reconsider their dependence on his technology.
Musk’s endorsement of the nationalist, anti-immigration Alternative for Germany party saw a collapse in Tesla sales in the country where they are made just outside Berlin.
In spite of her friendship with Musk, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is getting cold feet about a potential Starlink deal given how the US is pulling away from its commitment to European security.
Poland is not the only US ally feeling queasy after President Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s berating in the Oval Office. Warsaw pays for Ukraine’s Starlink terminals, and was offended by Musk’s weekend comments that the “entire front line would collapse” if his network was switched off. Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski suggested an alternative supplier might be necessary.
The spat on Musk’s X platform escalated.
Musk went further, saying separately that the US should exit the NATO military alliance. These kind of comments force the hand of many European leaders. One unintended consequence is that it threatens to accelerate an arms race, with Poland the latest country to signal it may want nuclear weapons.
Can Trump rein in the world’s richest man, and his biggest political donor? To what extent is Musk freelancing, and how much control does Trump even have over him?
A reported Cabinet showdown over Musk’s influence hints at the tensions within the administration.
The question is at what point Musk’s usefulness to Trump tips over into liability — and vice versa. — Flavia Krause-Jackson
