an open letter to the political pseudo elites of western europe

I happen to agree with you that we should not attempt to enforce a No Fly zone over Ukraine.

Declaring and enforcing a No Fly zone over Ukraine might mean a world war with Russia.

I'm not asking you to do that.

Although I would counsel you that sometimes as Mr Chamberlain taught us, while hoping desperately for peace at any price ie leaving the Czechoslovakians in the clutches of Hitler because we don't known any Czechoslovakians personally, sometimes I say, sometimes, indeed oft times, you get a World War anyway.

And of course by not declaring a No Fly zone over Ukraine, we are sitting watching while Genghis Putin murders the people of Ukraine more or less for a lark.

What I am asking you to do (all the countries of Western Europe, and particularly those heroes of political correctness and ideological fetishistic imaginary climate change and imaginary corona virus pandemic conformism Italy, France and Germany) is to stop putting bullets in Mr Putin's guns.

You are putting bullets in his guns by your ongoing insistence on buying your energy from him.

Stop paying for the shells Mr Putin is raining down on those cities.

Defy your Green Party puppet masters, yes the very ones who have hijacked all the political parties of Western Europe from the shadows without ever winning an election themselves, and induced you into buying supposedly clean energy from no less a green than Vladimir Putin.

Stop buying Putin's oil and gas tonight.

I assure you the energy you buy from Mr Putin is the dirtiest energy on the planet.

Can't you see the blood smeared all over your pious wind farms and pristine Priuses?

Here's a thought.

Shed no more dramatic televisual tears for Ukraine.

Engage in no more hand wringing.

Present no more earnest news reports about war crimes.

Simply stop justifying in terms of climate change and clean energy, your billion dollar financing of Putin's war against the people of Ukraine.

Stop giving him the money he is using to lay waste Ukraine.

This is all you can do for the people of Ukraine.

ten to midnight tears und handwringing meditations in green

  

Tears and handwringing will not help Ukraine tonight.

There is one practical thing for Ukraine that the countries of Europe can do immediately, specifically Germany, France and Italy but the rest  of us too.

I'm not asking anyone to go to war with Putin's Russia.

I'm asking governments and peoples to stop giving Putin the money to pay for the bullets and bombs and planes and ships and tanks and heavy artillery with which he is murdering Ukraine before our very eyes tonight as we speak.

The European pseudo elite fetish with Green Party nonsense usurping all other political parties without ever frankly winning an election, has meant that Germany and other nations get half their oil and gas supply from Putin under the guise of purchasing clean energy.

That's how Putin is paying for his adventure in Ukraine.

German hand wringers say: "We have to use clean energy."

While simultaneously whining about Ukraine, Germany refuses to stop financing Putin's armies which are ravaging Ukraine using German money to pay for their despoliations.

Here is the news.

Green Party policies have not led to the use of clean energy in Europe.

They have led to the use of the dirtiest energy possible.

That is to say, they have led to the use of energy supplied by Vladimir Putin.

Germany and the rest of us should switch off their Putin gas this very moment.

We should switch off the Greens too but you know how I feel on that matter.

There is no time to restructure  our economies to do without Putin's gas.

We must do without it now.

Everybody put on an extra jumper and buy a water bottle.

Some of us will be cold.

Some of us will die.

But let's do it.

The Ukrainians don't have time for Europe to restructure its energy provision policies over the next ten years.

The Ukrainians don't have ten days.
