Unconditional Surrender: Lessons from World War Two

 

The words Unconditional Surrender bring echoes of World War Two to the present conflict in Ukraine. After the Battle of Kursk, the greatest tank battle in Human History, Germany knew that it would be all the way to Berlin.

It dawning on EU Leaders and UK Leaders that as a long as the battle goes on there will be no ceasefire and this is why they now understand that unless a permanent solution is found before forces of the Russian Federation reach Kiev there will be nothing left to negotiate. EU or UK could hardly stand as "peacekeepers" when they have been supporting one of the sides in the conflict against the Russian Federation.

Macron and Starmer should be under no illusion. This is why after making extraordinary statements they will be on their way to Washington. They very well know that France, Britain and others are fully unprepared at a time when they are facing extraordinary national challenges. Britain has no Independent Nuclear Deterrent. Without US support, Trident is finished. Without American aircraft, the Royal Navy has no jets for its newest aircraft carriers. No one has nearly enough the number of enlisted men and women to face any serious challenge. They can kick and scream against the USA, but they know that without the USA, EU and UK are finished. So back to the USA, to mend relations with the USA. Lord Mandelson was criticized for saying that UK should implement President Trump´s Plan for Peace. Now, France, UK and Ukraine go to kneel down in Washington and to accept terms of engagement.

Vote for the candidate that believes what you believe

Vote for the candidate that believes what you believe,


Many Labour Party supporters are struggling to decide if they should vote for a certain Labour Party candidate on June 8th, 2017.

For those who support the party leader Jeremy Corbyn this is extremely relevant. They have the options of:


  • voting for a Labour candidate for Member of Parliament that is against Jeremy Corbyn
  • abstaining, not voting at all
  • voting for another candidate that represents another political party.  
By voting for a certain Labour candidate you would be voting against what you think the Labour Party should stand for.

This has come to be because there is not one Labour Party. There are several Labour Parties existing as one that happen to have diametrically opposite views about very fundamental issues. I think that for the Labour Party to stand as one party is extremely dishonest and misguiding.

Lord Mandelson explicitly said that he works day and night to get rid of Jeremy Corbyn and many other personalities of the Labour Party share his views on Jeremy Corbyn and promote a completely different set of views.

Therefore, look at each candidate, regardless of what political party they represent. Analyse their views and if you agree with his or her views vote for a certain candidate regardless of what political party he or she stands to represent. Vote for ideas. Don't vote for labels.

Neil and Glenys and more of the same

Whether their names are Neil Kinnock, Glenys Kinnock, Tony Blair or Peter Mandelson it makes no difference. These European Champions and Heroes of Social Justice are all in it, having the time of their lives and they have got one thing in common: they are all members of the Elites that at one point or another run the Labour Party 'for the benefit of the poor and the dispossessed'.

Buckloads of taxpayers' money via the British Parliament or via the European Union by courtesy of the British Public, they have made a living promoting an agenda that has bankrupt Britain.

And when the issue is a Referendum on Membership of the European Union, they are all in it together and this comes a no surprise because it is their main source of income.

At one point or another, they spoke about an elected House of Lords but they wouldn't cut the branch of the tree on where they stand. Of the four of them, Tony Blair seems to be the only one wasn't paid by the European Union with monies coming form the British Treasury and is not a member of the House of Lords.

Remain as in Remain Campaign means 'leave things as they are and keep the privileges that we have got'. Never mind if British farmers go to the wall. Never mind if British fishing quotas are taken over by outsiders and British fisheries are closed down. As long as the 'European Champions and Heroes of Social Justice' are still around, Britain as a country will get a very bad deal.

For many years, they spoke about the NHS and saving the NHS but rest assured that they will happily justify trade deals with the US that could put an end to the NHS as soon as their paymasters tell them to do so.
