In the UK the day before discovered a new form of diplomacy: Minister of foreign Affairs Boris Johnson openly called on citizens to go protest to the Russian Embassy. The Russian foreign Ministry policy shamed, his words are criticized in the state Duma at all questioned his competence. And the Internet is gaining momentum picture of Johnson as a clown.
a New form of British diplomacy – to call for protests at the walls of the diplomatic mission of another state. Three hours behind closed doors. On the agenda in the House of Commons on Syria. The idea to organize mass rallies belongs to the Deputy from the labour party Ann Clwyd. She said: I want to see the walls of the Russian Embassy 2-3-4 million people, may they pass across the centre of London and will “show his dissatisfaction with Russia’s policy in Syria.” An initiative taken up by the new Minister of foreign Affairs Boris Johnson.
“of Course, I’d like to see demonstrations at walls of the Russian Embassy. But where is the coalition “Stop the war”? Where are they?” – said the British foreign Secretary.
the reaction of the Russian Ministry of foreign Affairs has not kept itself waiting. The official representative of the Ministry Maria Zakharova shamed Johnson, first in written form to Facebook, and then in oral form.
“it is Now clear that meant Boris Johnson when he talked about weapons that the West will use against Russia — it is a shame. Those statements he made, calling for rallies in front of the Embassy, is a shame. A shame for one simple reason, because now it becomes obvious who is behind the so-called organizations, social movements, representatives of civil society, who come to the Russian embassies on various occasions. Behind them here’s the Executive power, in the person of Borisov Johnson. It turns out that the meetings, which gather at Russian embassies, run,” — said Maria Zakharova, a spokesman for the Russian foreign Ministry.
Johnson at this emergency meeting, you can say, soloed: draw conclusions, charges pressed against him. As always — groundless. So, on meeting, not flashed any pictures or video, but the blame for the September attack of a humanitarian convoy of the UN laid on Russia. Supposedly it happened the night of the army of Assad opportunities to attack at this time of day there, then blame our videoconferencing. After that he made a direct threat against Moscow.
“I’ll tell you straight: if Russia continues to act in the same spirit, I think that this great country is in danger of becoming a pariah state,” — said Boris Johnson, British foreign Secretary.
this attack was already said in the defense Ministry. According to Johnson, all the conclusions he made based on satellite images, which are in the public domain. However, no one has seen them. Our military has been asked to showcase these photos and provide access to this mystical resource, open to all.
“today, as we know, only the Ministry of defence published the real video as part of the humanitarian convoy of the unknown “humanitarian” mortar of large caliber. Do you have his pictures or send them to your “open access”? Moreover, with the actual data of objective control of the air situation in the area of Aleppo on the evening of September 19, we know the exact cause of the withering of interest in this topic from the American colleagues. No Russian planes in the area to find the convoy in Aleppo was not. It’s a fact,” said Igor Konashenkov, the official spokesman for the Russian defense Ministry.
Interest in this tragedy, the Americans really lost fast. Especially after the Russian defense Ministry issued a conclusive evidence. On 20 September, when there was a strike, over the area where the movement was of a convoy that flew the drone so-called international coalition led by the United States. Despite the fact it was a model, capable of striking ground targets. And left the aircraft the offensive zone about half an hour after the incident.
But these facts, Johnson closes his eyes. Calls to create a Syria no-fly zone, and Russia to bring to justice at the International criminal court.
Johnson is an ambiguous figure. 8 years held a post of the mayor of London, and in July of this year became Minister of foreign Affairs of the Kingdom. Here’s how Johnson, the program Maxim Kiselev has described the scientists.
“Boris Johnson is a rather peculiar figure selected for the post of foreign Minister. It’s just a reflection of the General fashion for running down Russia without evidence, without logic, without any documents. It is now in the trend,” said Sergei Bolshakov, Professor of foreign policy and international relations of the Diplomatic Academy of the Russian foreign Ministry.
“Boris Johnson is a man who often speaks first and then thinks. Therefore, it is in General not the first such case, but certainly the first case when as foreign Minister he in fact urged the public not to storm the Embassy, but protests at the Embassy that foreign Minister sounds, to put it mildly, wildly,” — says analyst Alexander Nekrasov.
Johnson’s position regarding Russia in the British Parliament not everyone agrees. For example, the head of the Ministry of the shadow Cabinet noted that the Kingdom is pursuing a policy of double standards. Britain accuses Russia of action in Syria, while turning a blind eye to the fact that the Kingdom sells arms to Saudi Arabia, which is actively involved in military conflicts in the middle East.
