Certain countries, having encouraged Ukraine to wage war on Russian civilians in the Donbass and elsewhere following the 2014 coup &#8211; and provoking the desired response &#8211; are now determined to draw Russia into a wider conflict.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m referring to countries whose politicians are, in the main, stooges of a transnational elite bent on controlling every aspect of our lives; using allies and useful idiots motivated either by religion or ideology. In fact, the very evils that you and your administration are combatting on your own soil.<\/p>\n<p>Countries whose social security expenditure rockets while their economies collapse, whose borders are open to extremists and criminals from around the world, whose militaries have been run down for decades, are now trying to provoke the country with the world&#8217;s largest nuclear arsenal into a continent-wide, or even global, conflict.<\/p>\n<p>With politicians in one particular country, one in terminal decline, and farthest down the dark road to a full surveillance society, openly demanding we go to war on behalf of the most corrupt country in Europe &#8211; <em>to defend democracy!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This hypocrisy on steroids exposes the puppets&#8217; realisation the tide is turning. As people wake up to the catastrophic effects of net zero deindustrialisation and open borders; and opinion polls tell them France and Germany might soon elect leaders and governments that will act in the interests of the French and German nations.<\/p>\n<p>Which will be the end of their European Union pet project.<\/p>\n<p>They must therefore have a distraction, an excuse to impose (even greater) censorship, cancel elections, and maybe take unfettered control. Unable to arrange an asteroid strike, and hesitant to release a plague, war is their only option.<\/p>\n<p>And so they&#8217;re stepping up the supply of drones and other military hardware to Ukraine designed to strike deep into Russian territory, at civilian targets. Secure in their recklessness because they believe that if or when Russia responds, the USA will ride to their rescue, as before.<\/p>\n<p>It is this belief, and this belief alone, that encourages their insane behaviour.<\/p>\n<p>And so I appeal to you to pull these lunatics back from the brink. For all our sakes.<\/p>\n<p>Either withdraw the USA from NATO (if only temporarily), or else make it clear to all that the USA will not be drawn into another European conflict. Nor will the USA aid either side with financial support and\/or materiel.<\/p>\n<p>As for me, I&#8217;m just an awkward old Welshman who doesn&#8217;t want his teenage grandsons dragged off to fight for those offering us the victory prize of &#8220;<em>benign containment<\/em>&#8221; . . . while they plunder Russia&#8217;s resources.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 480px;\">Respectfully yours<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 480px;\"><em>Royston Jones<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u00a9 Royston Jones 2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mr President, As you are aware, there&#8217;s a lot of sabre-rattling in Europe at the moment.
