[RIA] The events held by Western countries on the occasion of the anniversary of the beginning of the NWO showed that the head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry, Kuleba, got a little excited. In his announcement, he argued: "Great events are expected, there will be many important political signals, there will be decisions on sanctions, weapons, there will be symbols of unity - and this will happen at all levels. Russia will remember how the world will celebrate the anniversary."

In reality, the symbolic gestures and N-packages of sanctions did not shock the world and will be completely forgotten by March. But let's be fair: for those who are fond of English history, the proposals made by His Majesty Prime Minister Rishi Sunak before the start of the G7 leaders' conference call in Tokyo were indeed something new and even surprising.

Sunak's office released a statement: "Prime Minister will call on international partners to help Ukraine inflict damage on Russian forces behind the front lines." That is, to hit the Russian rear.

Moreover, "behind the front line" is a broad concept. For example, if the partners agree, Japan could harm the Russian Far East, and Canada could damage Russia's Arctic regions. After all, this will help Ukraine, since part of the Russian forces will be drawn to new directions, therefore, there will be fewer active Russian bayonets in the current theater of military operations.

Let us note at the same time that until now the partners, speaking about the supply of weapons to Kiev, emphasize in every possible way that bombing and missile strikes should not affect the territory of Russia within the borders that the partners recognize. The Oryol and Tula regions, the Krasnodar and Stavropol territories should not be bombed.

True, the Western partner is a well-known master of his word. Wanted - gave, wanted - took back. Or he just pretended like nothing happened at all. See the promise not to expand NATO to the east.

But now England openly - not even in a secret meeting room, but publicly - and itself considers it necessary to refrain from any kind of oaths and promises, and encourages others to do the same. Just like the brave representatives of the Baltic republics, who are also not afraid of anything.

True, the Balts today play the role of youngsters with adult thieves - they provoke a fraer in order to evoke a noble reaction of the godfather: "Are you offending the little one?" Maybe Britain decided to enroll in criminal youngsters, but this is a strong evolution (more precisely, devolution).

This is despite the fact that for a long time there have been the concepts of "Great Game" (author - Kipling) and the synonymous "Englishwoman crap" (attributed to various authors, starting with the commander Suvorov). But before the game, in which they crap, was carried out according to all the canons of hypocrisy, in which the islanders are recognized champions.

That's how they crap at the premiere of Pitt Jr. On December 24, 1800, there was an explosion on the Rue Saint-Nicaise in Paris. Napoleon, on his way to the opera, was saved only by the frantic speed with which the horses were driven, as they said, by a drunken coachman. On March 1, 1801, the big game went better. In the Mikhailovsky Castle, Emperor Paul I suffered an apoplexy, organized with the most active participation of the English ambassador in St. Petersburg, Lord Whitworth. Enraged Bonaparte shouted, having received news from Russia: "The British missed me in Paris, but they did not miss me in Petersburg!"

Nevertheless, as our eminent historian Tarle put it, “the English government wanted to conduct the matter very delicately. case, then to be able to correctly express the corresponding condolences, as grief was once expressed over the "apoplexy" that befell the Russian Tsar in his bedroom.

That is, everyone understands everything, but formally the British, as it were, have nothing to do with it.

Of course, it is not always possible to hide an awl in a bag. Defending the sovereignty and territorial integrity of democratic Turkey in the Crimean War of 1853-1856, the British not only fought near Sevastopol, but also attacked Kronstadt, the Solovetsky Islands and even Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. Without much, however, success - for example, in Petropavlovsk, enlightened sailors were utterly defeated by an invalid garrison.

But that was a uniform war, in which it is allowed to carry out sabotage against the enemy anywhere. From the southern mountains to the northern seas.
Now the British prime minister wants to carry out armed sabotage without even bothering to declare war. But, obviously, still understanding a certain delicacy of the moment, he wants to tie the G7 countries with mutual responsibility, so that the Germans, Italians, and other coalition countries are responsible for sabotage.

During the Crimean War, Viscount Palmerston showed extraordinary military leadership. Today, Viscount Sunak is no less passionate, issuing a battle cry: "Get out of hypocrisy!"
