12 noon Ireland 11th August 2025
Pondering why the threats from the US re the OTB get so little attention by Irish media. Maybe it stems from a complacent belief that the outside world won’t impinge on our island. Other examples. The Russian threat is considered a joke in most media circles despite explicit threats of a ‘reckoning’ from ambassador Filatov and British criticism of defence freeloading hardly gets reported. https://policyexchange.org.uk/publication/closing-the-back-door/
Open letter to the editor of “The Sunday Times” by the Ambassador of Russia to Ireland H.E. Yuriy Filatov (June 9, 2025)
The article in “The Sunday Times” on June 8, 2025, “Russia Warns West of the Day of Reckoning” which referenced my recent remarks on the state terrorism practiced by the Kiev regime and political/material assistance it gets from the West strongly reinforces my point.
The article quotes statements by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade of Ireland as well as spokespersons for the Labour and Fianna Fail parties in which they carefully avoid even mention of a bloody terrorist attack by the Ukrainian special services perpetrated against civilian trains in Bryansk and Kursk regions of Russia on May 31-June 1 which has shocked the world. Instead, the statements simply repeat the usual Western mantra about Russian “aggression” and “unequivocal and steadfast” support by Ireland for Zelenskiy and his regime. That is exactly what I have emphasized – not only the Western governments support terrorists in Kiev, they try to eschew responsibility for doing that by promoting the false idea that Russia is an aggressor, not a victim of a NATO proxy aggression, while Zelenskiy’s extreme nationalist, dictatorial and corrupt regime is a “democracy”.
This is something the Western political leaders convinced themselves of (or pretended that they are convinced) and tried to convince their public (with mixed results) for the purpose of escalating Ukrainian conflict into the full-scale war against Russia under the guise of “defending democracy”. Like the famous saying, attributed to Abraham Lincoln, goes: you can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can’t fool all of the people all of the time. That is why it is inevitable that politicians who are responsible for the Kiev’s barbarism will have to admit at some point the failure of their profoundly mistaken approach to the Ukrainian conflict and to answer questions about lives lost in Ukraine and Russia because of their inability or unwillingness to respond to the Russia’s proposals on the peaceful settlement of the Ukrainian crisis.
