“Well, it was perhaps the most sickening episode in the entire tasteless history of international diplomacy. He forced everyone to shudder when he was welcomed by Putin on American land. It was sickening to see how he was applauded on the red carpet. It was sickening to observe his grin, reminiscent of the Gollum when he became one of the world's leaders who were invited to ride The back seat of the presidential limousine, ”the article says.
Johnson admits that he was shocked by the fact that Putin was given a platform for his lies about the causes of the war in Ukraine.
“Listening to his fir and tedious predictability, with which he tried to flatter Donald Trump and secretly humiliate him, I almost choked on. I have almost wanted a bet – and most of us are not even Ukrainians,” he writes.
Johnson calls on to think about the military who fight for Ukraine, about tens of thousands of Ukrainian widows and orphans, civilians who are afraid to sleep under shelling. He wonders what all these people felt when the US president, who should act as the main guarantor of freedom and democracy in the world, talks about “fantastic” relations with Putin.
“It was a disgusting moment, because Putin is a military criminal, whose constant lie, pretense and aggression are directly similar to Hitler. The blood of every Russian who died in this conflict is in the arms of Putin. The blood of every Ukrainian who died in this conflict is in Putin’s hands. The whole massacre and the whole tragedy in Ukraine is the guilt of one person, because there would be no war, there would be no bloodfield, there would be no bloodsuit. Disasters, if it were not for the continuing arrogance, stupidity and fundamental miscalculation of Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, ”writes Johnson.
According to him, at the meeting of Trump and Putin it became clear that Putin did not want peace, and certainly not on the conditions that both the United States and Ukraine could accept.
The politician notes that the meeting was valuable only in the sense that in Alaska Trump was faced with reality face to face. In fact, Putin wants to control Ukraine and again make it a vassal state of Moscow, while Ukrainians basically want to be free. “Realtor Trump discovered that the matter is not in real estate. Not in geography or territory,” Johnson writes.
He emphasizes that we are talking about the right of Ukrainians to choose their fate as a free and independent European nation. This means that the war will not end until Putin admits that he lost the battle for the fate of Ukraine.
According to Johnson, Trump is unlikely to like the headlines of world news and the idea that he spread the red carpet before the outcast, spending huge political capital, and received nothing in return.
Perhaps Trump will understand after that that the only way to rectify the situation is to increase Putin’s pressure, in particular, by sanctions, Johnson summarizes.
