@DIYKitAponia@bneeditor@geogvma As the Financial Times reported at the time, Bennett played the โprimaryโ role in mediating Russia-Ukraine talks. He was the key international broker between Moscow and Kyiv, as the two sides inched toward a ceasefire deal.
@DIYKitAponia@bneeditor@geogvma The main negotiators themselves (Bennett & Arakhamia) testify to Boris' impact. Bennett says both sides were ready to end the conflict till BJ pressured Zelensky to reject the compromise ; Arakhamia says BJ told them UK would sign nothing, and urged them to "just fight".
@DIYKitAponia@bneeditor@geogvma Romaniuk's views are valid, but he, too, is on record that the second major "obstacle" to the peace agreement was Boris' unexpected arrival in Kiev, saying there should be no negotiation & that even if Ukraine signed, the UK would refuse any guarantee.
@DIYKitAponia@bneeditor@geogvma When I pay and arm a man to fight another, and urge and cajole him to go to war when he was on the point of agreement with his adversary, I'd call that complicity in the conflict at least.
@John_ForemanCBE@marydejevsky@BBCNews@GOVUK Any BBC claim to Impartiality is hereby discredited. The bias and censorship you defend with this sneer are a disgrace to our nation.
@bneeditor@DIYKitAponia@geogvma Full Western commitment = nuclear war if necessary. Always an empty bluff.
Europe now fighting for Melnyk & Bandera. Values?
@deweygubbels@nightly_moth Sounds right.
My sense, for what it's worth, is that Truth has an inherent beauty (the beauty of holiness?). That's maybe why I see poetry and prophecy so closely related.
@deweygubbels@nightly_moth 1981 Dave Herman interview :
Dylan qualified the virtue of ("man-made") Beauty, saying it can be very deceptive ("the Beauty of the Beast") and is ultimately filtered by man's heart, which is sick.
Brilliant interview!
@YisraelOfficial Replace "Jordan" with Palestine, and you start to approach reality. It's the idea of painting the whole region "Galicia" that rocks the logic.
@ikeijeh Growing pains. Embarrassing teenage haircuts & other mistakes we made. And sinful crimes we committed & shall never finish paying for.
Trying to remember the glory of Christ that once inspired us to humility.
