Give Ukraine More Missiles, Urges Boris Johnson, as Ukraine Hammers Russian Black Sea Fleet at Anchor With Strikes
Breitbart ^ | 09/14/2023 | OLIVER JJ LANE

The United Kingdom should keep handing over its stocks of advanced cruise missiles, former Prime Minister and key Zelensky ally Boris Johnson has said, as Ukraine continues to strike Russia’s navy.

The West needs “strategic patience” and a “far greater sense of urgency about our programme of military assistance” towards Ukraine, former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has written for a British news magazine, as he urged more missiles for Ukraine, and as soon as possible. The shopping list of missiles he has in mind is broad, from UK Storm Shadow cruise missiles, ‘ATACM’ tactical missiles, man-portable air defence missiles, and more Patriot air defence missile batteries.

This is because, Johnson says, Ukraine is capable of pushing back Russia and needs more support. He said: “Even if they can’t do it in the next few weeks – or however much remains of the 2023 fighting season – they can certainly do it next year.

For more info., one can do web searches constrained to the last several months for the various manufacturers. Be sure to include European companies. “Rheinmetall production” will get you a lot of hits, for example.

And in the US, for example, we are up to 24k of those 155 mm shells / month, heading to 80k.

Also don’t forget the Polish / South Korean joint efforts, and South Korean production in general. SK has a freaking bonanza on its hands, which of course rolls back into more money and capacity for their own needs. It might be the worst thing to happen to lil’ Kim so far...

Hope that helps as a starter.

How ‘bout you go over to Kiev and fight for Zelensky yourself, Boris ? Show us how it’s done.

And not one more dime or farthing or bullet or bomb for the genocidal pervert midget dictator.

He proposes that Russia should attack the city of London and perhaps kill millions. But I’m disgusting for saying the Brits might strenuously object to that idea? That’s quite the set of ethics you have there.

So you support foreigners killing or assaulting US citizens who disagree with you?

Why am I not shocked. At all.

Don’t forget the British also kidnapped 10000+ American sailors prior the the War of 1812.
After the end of the Cold War the US missed a prime opportunity to court Russia and finally scrape, from our boot, the blight that the British have brought to our politics.

You were referencing post #4:

London should pay dearly for its attempts to begin WW3.
They believe they can bomb others and get away with it,
and so far they have. over and over and over and over.

Where exactly in that post did he advocate the bombing of London and the murder of millions? You are disgusting.

Yes, exactly the same way you support Jeff Epstein raping little girls.

What’s that? You don’t like straw man accusations?

Funny thing, neither do I.

Are you high on KGB agitprop? A ceasefire does not create recognized borders. Ukraine cannot join NATO without a full peace treaty and the agreement of every NATO member.

I do wish these people would get their arguments together. First it was a crippling “take” of land — Ukraine would become a “rump country”, etc. Now it’s a “sliver”. NATO is a dire threat. NATO is weak / vanquished / etc.

I think they need to have a convention or something...

The UK is simply living up to its part of the agreement with Ukraine known as The Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances according to which, in 1994, two years after after the fall of the USSR, Ukraine's security and sovereignty would be guaranteed and defended if she agreed to give up her nuclear weapons.

The signatories were PM Tony Blair from the UK, President Bill Clinton from the U.S and President Boris Yeltsin from Russia (formerly the USSR)

The Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances comprises three substantially identical political agreements signed at the OSCE conference in Budapest, Hungary, on 5 December 1994, to provide security assurances by its signatories relating to the accession of Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT). The three memoranda were originally signed by three nuclear powers: the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom and the United States.[1] China and France gave somewhat weaker individual assurances in separate documents.[2] read entire article

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapest_Memorandum

Until Ukraine gave up the Soviet nuclear weapons stationed on its soil, it had the world's third-largest nuclear weapons stockpile.

Unfortunately, for some mysterious reason, this little fact of history rarely if ever gets mentioned.

The KGB talking points are being translated differently?
