🚨 George Galloway to Sputnik: Britain has played outsized role fueling Ukraine conflict

💬 The British government wrecked the 2022 Russia-Ukraine peace deal in Istanbul as the conflict was just getting started, and proved more than willing to freeze their own seniors to death to grant Zelensky 1.5 billion pounds in aid, the prolific commentator and former lawmaker recalled.

Now, Galloway says, London is talking about putting 20,000-30,000 troops in Ukraine, a move that would constitute “an act of war against Russia.”

🚨 George Galloway to Sputnik: UK troops’ use as a nuclear tripwire in Ukraine would be ‘national suicide’

💬 “That’s a declaration, literally, of national suicide...that presupposes a Russian nuclear response that would end the existence of the British people” and effectively put an end to “our island’s story,” Galloway, a veteran of British politics with nearly forty years’ experience in parliament said.

The UK can’t even be sure that it’s in control of its own deterrent, Galloway emphasized, much less rely on support from the US.

💸 Trump APPROVES more weapons for Ukraine – reports

Germany is sending 125 long-range rockets and 100 Patriot missiles to Ukraine — but not without Washington’s blessing.

Since the weapons are US-made, Berlin needed Trump’s approval to export them. He gave it, according to a congressional official quoted by The New York Times.

"Mediator" or accomplice?

🚨 George Galloway to Sputnik: Ukraine crisis would end tomorrow if US bowed out, NATO expansion was halted

💬 “It’s as obvious as the nose on your face when you think about it that without the Americans there is no NATO, without the American army there is no military threat,” the veteran British statesman and commentator said.

A US withdrawal from Europe would force “a reckoning” in Western Europe and Ukraine, resulting in a speedy negotiated settlement. As long as the US remains, and the root “fundamental causes of the conflict remain unresolved” (NATO expansion), the meatgrinder will continue, Galloway believes.

🇺🇸🇨🇳 Trump’s China tariff talk driven by desire to ‘keep himself in the news’

The president’s remarks about cutting China tariffs from 145% to 80% ahead of negotiations in Geneva stem from his preoccupation with his public image, says Action Economics principal director Michael R. Englund.

💬 “The administration wants to maintain US public focus on his continuous successes, and President Trump is particularly skilled at managing his coverage and keeping himself in the news and at center stage,” Englund told Sputnik.

The 80% tariff proposal is “bait” ahead of the China talks, and may be “an attempt to deescalate by allowing both sides to unilaterally lower rates,” the observer said.

💬 “If there is a de-escalation, I don’t think it’s because Trump is concerned about the state of the economy, as I think he is fundamentally optimistic about growth prospects despite the concerns of economists, and economic data at least thus far have almost uniformly supported that US economic growth remains strong,” Englund noted.
