Expose British Manipulations to Push U.S. Deeper into Ukraine Abyss
Aug. 25—On Aug. 21, blogger Kit Klarenberg reviewed an Aug. 18 report from The Sunday Times, which itself stemmed from the sudden appearance of British-made Challenger tanks participating in the Kiev regime’s invasion of Kursk. According to Klarenberg, several British media outlets were explicitly briefed by British military sources that “it marked the first time in history London’s tanks ‘have been used in combat on Russian territory.’ Disquietingly, The Times now reveals this was a deliberate propaganda and lobbying strategy, spearheaded by Prime Minister Keir Starmer.”
“When footage of British Challenger 2 battle tanks being used by the Ukrainian army for its counterinvasion of Russia emerged on Tuesday August 13], Downing Street and the Ministry of Defence were ready," [The Sunday Times report began.”For the previous 48 hours, officials and political aides working for Sir Keir Starmer and John Healey, the defense secretary, had been in talks about how far to go to confirm growing British involvement in the incursion towards Kursk. The stakes were high. Unseen by the world, British equipment, including drones, have played a central role in Ukraine’s new offensive and British personnel have been closely advising the Ukrainian military for two years, on a scale matched by no other country."
As reported by Klarenberg, The Sunday Times adds: “The decision Starmer and Healey took last week was not a policy shift but a change of tone to be more open about Britain’s role in a bid to persuade key allies to do more to help—and convince the public that Britain’s security and economic prosperity is affected by events on the fields of Ukraine. A senior Whitehall source said: ‘There won’t be shying away from the idea of British weapons being used in Russia as part of Ukraine’s defense. We don’t want any uncertainty or nervousness over Britain’s support at this critical moment and a half-hearted or uncertain response might have indicated that. We should be proud that we’ve donated kit that is helping Ukraine in their defense.’”
The Sunday Times report, Klarenberg claims, was part of a calculated campaign to encourage other elements of the NATO empire, particularly the U.S., to deepen and escalate their involvement in the war against Russia. Next month, U.K. Defense Secretary John Healey will be attending a meeting of the Ukraine Defense Support Group (Sept. 6) where “Britain will press European allies to send more equipment and give Kyiv more leeway to use them in Russia. Healey spoke last week to Lloyd Austin, the U.S. defense secretary, and has been wooing Boris Pistorius, his German opposite number.” Even though the UDSG began as an initiative of Lloyd Austin, the British have played an outsized role in it, using it to escalate, in particular, Ukraine’s drone operations.
According to Klarenberg, this campaign hasn’t yet generated the desired results. “In repeated press conferences and media briefings since August 6th, U.S. officials have firmly distanced themselves from the Kursk incursion, denying any involvement in its planning or execution, or even being forewarned by Kiev,” he writes. Tied up in this is the matter of the use of the Storm Shadow/SCALP missile in Russia, which the U.S. also apparently has a say in, besides the French.
Not reported by Klarenberg is that the Russians have openly reported the heavy British involvement in running Ukrainian operations and that British military personnel have been involved in operating British weapons systems against the Russians, three months ago, the Russians leaked an intercepted discussion between top officers of the German Air Force that revealed this, as well as involvement of other NATO personnel inside the Ukraine. The proper way to locate what Klarenberg reports is that the British are playing a much larger role in running what is called Global NATO at this point than the United States, whose own government has been under attack from these same forces, including those operating within the U.S. executive branch. As more informed sources report, the United States is itself an occupied country, whose policy is increasingly run by Global NATO, which recently orchestrated the coup against President "Sleepy Joe" Biden to put in position to replace him with a more reliable asset, Vice President Kamala Harris.
While the U.S. has distanced itself from the Kursk invasion, Americans have been involved with its planning and gave approval for it, or it would not have taken place. The Russians are fully aware of who is behind the invasion of their homeland.
