Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson told GB News in an interview published on Tuesday that London could go as far as sending in troops if Kiev “goes down.” This warning comes as reports of Ukraine’s inevitable fall to Russia in the war continue to surface.
According to a report by RT, if aid to Ukraine is “reduced” and Kiev starts losing, London could be forced to deploy troops to the region, Johnson claimed. “We will then have to pay to send British troops to help defend Ukraine,” the politician stated.
There has been speculation as to what happens when Ukraine loses the war, however, it’s still being posed as the “could” still win.
What Happens If Ukraine Loses The War?
The UK must know they can’t win or they wouldn’t be so concerned with the possibility of expanding the war and pushing it into a more global conflict. Johnson further said that the UK cannot let Ukraine suffer a defeat in its ongoing conflict with Russia.
According to Johnson, Russia’s success in Ukraine would spark a security crisis for the United States and its NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) allies on a multitude of fronts. “It’ll be the Baltic states. It’ll be in Georgia. You’ll see the impact of a Ukrainian defeat in the Pacific theater. You’ll see it in the South China Sea,” the politician said, without specifying what exactly could happen in those regions.
Johnson also described military and financial assistance to Kiev as a “sensible investment” and a “good” way to spend public funds, arguing that the UK would supposedly have to pay much more otherwise because “our collective security will be really degraded by a resurgent Russia threatening all sorts of parts of Europe.”
The former prime minister also pointed to the prospect of the U.S. cutting aid to Kiev as a potential risk, claiming some people with the “wrong” views on the issue were in president-elect Donald Trump’s inner circle. “Donald Trump has lots of different voices in his ears and there’s a front of the Republican Party, quite a lot of them actually, who take the wrong line on Ukraine,” he said.
Never count on the ruling class (who starts the wars for profit) to ever end them. Trump will not be an exception to this rule, but they like to talk the talk, as all political parasites have done.
Maria Zakharova, the Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman has accused the former UK Prime Minister of stirring up the sanctions war against Russia and blocking peace with Kiev over these comments.
