Sky News – March 25, 2024
Russia will not stop if it wins the war in Ukraine, the US ambassador to the UK has told Sky News.
Speaking to Sky News presenter Kay Burley from her official residence in central London last week, Jane Hartley said she is “optimistic” that the US will release more funding for Ukraine, but said “anybody who thinks that Russia may stop after this, I think is wrong”.
“I was ambassador (to France and Monaco) in 2014, and I saw what happened in Crimea. I don’t know why anybody would say, ‘oh this is it for Russia‘,” she said.
“Democracy, I think, is at stake. So we need to support Ukraine.”
Ms Hartley added that “these are difficult days” after Burley asked if she felt an atmosphere “almost comparable” to that last seen before the Second World War.
She then said that “we want to do everything we can to make sure Ukraine is still a strong democracy and that Russia loses this war”.

Why US Ambassador Hartley May Be Right
It would be easy to dismiss Ambassador Hartley’s claim that Russia will continue on the offensive if it overwhelms Ukraine. It could simply be seen as a cynical attempt by Washington to drum up more military support for Kiev.
However, it would be a big mistake to do so. There are a number of reasons for this. First and foremost, the threat to its sovereignty that Russia perceives as emanating from Ukraine did not originate there.
That threat has its roots further West and Putin knows this. The Western elites have simply used Ukraine and Ukrainians as proxies in a long-term plan to fragment the constituent parts of the Russian Federation and turn them against each other.
Using the principle of divide and rule the objective was to neutralize the threat the Western powers see as emerging from Russia.
In addition, fragmenting the Russian Federation would open the way for various oligarchs, both from the West and Russia, to move in and exploit the Russian Federation’s vast natural resources.
For Washington and London it was a winning strategy. All they had to do was install a puppet president in Kiev.
Vlodymyer Zelensky, a TV actor who was best know for playing the role of Ukrainian president in Servant of the People was perfect for the part.
Thereafter, following the 2014 coup, the West spent billions building up and preparing the Ukrainian armed forces to take on Russia.
Russia could see the threat that was emerging on its Western border and that is why it launched its Special Operation in Feb 2022. So if Ambassador Jane Hartley is correct, the West will only have itself to blame if Russia’s military campaign doesn’t grind to a halt. That’s because Putin will want to deal with the threat to Russia’s sovereignty once and for all.
Certainly things are now going Russia’s way on the battlefield but there is another reason this writer thinks that Putin may continue his military campaign, even if the Ukrainian forces collapse. See below:
I’ve not read, what’s the point. Just ask a very simple question. What does Russia gain by invading a Nazi NATO state, where’s the upside? There’s no upside.
Russia might secure the treaty guaranteed rail link into Kaliningrad. The Russians have a nuclear strike doctrine that says, if invaded, they will use nukes in the first instance. So in this case we’re talking about a breach in Russias Western border.
Russia is no threat to the UK, but this trope is rolled out constantly. Russia is painted as this threat, just because it exists, same for China.
This is the Nazi hate. It’s like living next to the Jones’s, and he comes home in some flash car, and you the Nazi hates the Jones’s for it. Russia has all these resources, so we hate them for it.
The Nazis have this serious mental disorder. There’s no known treatment, apart from death, as we see in Nazi UKraine.
I’m hoping that horse-faced tranny Ambassador is right…
and Russia rolls right over Eurotardia & Thickbritannia!
GO Vlad!! 🙏👍😊
Russia (or ‘Putin’ if you prefer) will be forced to soldier on until and unless the West (or crazy neo-cons who rule the US govt. on behalf of whom?) decides negotiating in good faith is the solution.
They won’t so yes their poxy war continues. We are all losers, but the poor bloody duped Ukrainians worst off.
Yeah, sure. No bias here. Tell me about Israel’s intentions for Gaza. Tell me murder is OK. Tell me Ukraine is a democratic nation. Yeah, sure.
“…spent billions…”–how do they expect to win wars when all they think about is money? Firstly, money is not a principle, and secondly, it has no powers, it’s just that you can pay people with powers to do some work for you IF they have enough respect for you
I think if Russia concentrates primarily on bringing about the economic collapse of America the rest of its minions will fall into place and start behaving. They might not even need a slap if like good little monkeys they show contrition.
End America’s dominance to end all this war.
The Zionists will never leave Russia alone, thus Russia must destroy all Zionist states like

““Democracy, I think, is at stake. So we need to support Ukraine,” vomited out worthless whore of epic stupidity Kay Burley. Oh, democracy is at stake, is it…you “think”? Here’s a news flash for Ambassador Dumbf*ck: democracy in the Jewnited States has been getting brutally raped for generations and was flat-out murdered decades ago, with each national (s)election now being a more vicious insult to the cuntry than the last.
It’s to the point at which it would actually be less insulting than the “choice” of candidates offered to the citizen voter if, upon stepping into a “voting” booth, the “voter” gets pimp-slapped with a giant rubber dong, a mechanical spring-loaded boot pops out and gives them a firm kick in the nuts, the screen pops open and hoses them in the face with pig piss, then the voter turned upside-down and all the money shaken from their pockets. Then, when the average imbecile is glued to the electric Jew tell-lie-vision later to get the results, the talking heads just point at the camera and laugh themselves silly to the point of pissing themselves. That’s the state of “democracy” in our own cuntry, Ambassador Dumbf*ck, so f*ck Jewkraine.
In fact, (s)Election Day should be renamed National The Joke’s On You and It Sure Isn’t Funny Day.
Yes, we must pour NATO troops into the Ukraine to demonstrate our resolve to hold that valuable farmland and other valuable assets taken over by BlackRock and other Western corporate giants, as we kick more and more Ukrainians out of their homeland, with this very contrived war.
This is complete conjecture and likely complete BS. They are merely trying to stoke the winds of a war. Criminal intent!
Vlogger Emil Cosman says this woman is a major Democrat Party donor and that’s why she was appointed Ambassador by Obama then Biden, her donations secured her the position. Interesting how, therefore, she can warn about the threats to democracy.
While we’re thinking the terrorists who attacked Moscow did it for very little money, just 250,000 rubles, somebody said perhaps the captured man who said that had the presence of mind not to say dollars [US] as that would have given the game away as to who is behind it. A good point that could even be true.
America has a population of 330 million people and all they can come up with in the next election is Tweedledum and Tweedledee. Are you really being serious?
So Russia wants to take all of Europe huh? This woman is another US war monger talking BS, these idiots believe they will survive a nucleur exchange
Umbra Bellator: doesn’t Key Burley attend senior Met Police sex parties? I mean, the one time I caught a glimpse of her interviewing a senior Met officer, she was squirming in her seat and foaming at the mouth with a stupid grin.
Russia doesn’t need to attack NATO. They just need to wait and let NATO and the west continue to destroy themselves. What Russia and the rest of BRICS will do, however, is continue to dump the US dollar as a means to settle international trade. That’s the final nail in the west’s coffin.
