Dangerous Illusions: Timothy Garton Ash’s Perspective on Ukraine and Global Conflict

Phil Butler, December 25, 2024

Timothy Garton Ash’s controversial vision for Ukraine’s future exposes the reckless implications of his call for intensified conflict and Western expansionism.

Dangerous Illusions: Timothy Garton Ash's Perspective on Ukraine and Global Conflict

The world has always had a plethora of problems. The fact that human beings are still here is proof of God’s existence. For without some mighty unseen hand holding our planet together, the lunatics would indeed have already destroyed us. And they still may. Reading the most recent op-ed by Timothy Garton Ash at The Guardian, the lines of Pink Floyd’s “Brain Damage” echo in his words about destroying what’s left of Ukraine.

The lunatic is in the hall

The lunatics are in my hall

The paper holds their folded faces to the floor

And every day, the paperboy brings more

Garton Ash mirrors the knee-buckling fear that now grips the hegemony

Time Magazine assured us (by proclaiming him all-powerful) that writer, historian, and British Intelligence operative Garton Ash is one of those folded faces littering the halls of the palaces of the Western elites. The former Hoover Institution and Oxford professor has now gone sure enough bonkers in a piece that recommends Armageddon in Ukraine can bring us all to the promised land. This passage from “What if Russia wins in Ukraine? We can already see the shadows of a dark 2025” is prophetic, only not in the way the self-acclaimed “liberal internationalist” foresees. This raving lunatic offers a “what if” glimpse into the Medusa mind of the liberal world order. Imagine if you can…

“In five years, the country joins the EU, and then, under a new US administration, starts the process of entering Nato. Most of Ukraine becomes a sovereign, independent, free country, firmly anchored in the West.” 

Yes, the man thinks that. The batshit crazy liberal lords and hedge fund trillionaires running the show from Washington and at Oxford can discuss an Ukraine in NATO, even after a million are dead, as if Russia does not even exist! It’s as if their giant squirmy brains have just willed it – “Presto!” – Zelensky must be the end and the beginning. Holy shit. Profanity is the only language capable of conveying the lunacy, the raw evil, and the contriving hatred of not just Russians but humanity itself.

My God, these people have even run polls to determine if Ukrainians are willing to commit to total war. I am reminded of Adolf Hitler’s Reich Plenipotentiary for the Total War Effort in 1944 and the appointment of propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels as its all-powerful Plenipotentiary. I wonder if Whitehall is considering Timothy Garton Ash to help (as Goebbels did) transform the structures of the state apparatus in the West. Perhaps not. Maybe these people are not as committed as Hitler’s henchmen. They could just be certifiably nuts. Oh, and the numbers Garton Ash levers dimwit minds with come directly from the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology (KIIS), where pollsters are doing EXACTLY what the Nazis did when the Soviets were at the gates. (read here)

Garton Ash mirrors the knee-buckling fear that now grips the hegemony. A Russia win means no profits. A Russian win means no EU or NATO expansion. Garton Ash and the people who pushed him to the top, like curdled milk, want Europeans to declare war on the most powerful nuclear arsenal on the planet. This psychopath has written a declaration of utter stupidity by suggesting the Ukrainian people wish to use atomic weapons from the West. Garton Ash cites the numbers from, saying 73% of Ukrainians support Ukraine “restoring nuclear weapons”.

“The conclusion is clear, and depressingly familiar. European democracies’ reluctance to pay a high price now means that the world will pay an even higher price later.” 

On a final note, KISS is a USAID/CIA front organization that melds computer-aided polling with raw U.S. State Department propaganda. The reader may want to research Paragon Research International, which partnered with KISS in 1992. The company has also been instrumental in creating distance learning (propaganda/mind control) software for former Soviet Union spaces. The U.S. not only has Biolabs on Russia’s borders, but there are societal moulding apparatuses dotting the landscape, too (See SPSS and IBM). Parallels between what Garton Ash suggests and the disaster of Hitler’s Total War effort are poignant here. I leave you with a statement from historian Sir Richard John Evans concerning Goebbels and the end result of World War II.

“Germany’s economic resources were never adequate to turn [German fantasies of imperial domination of Europe] into reality, not even when the resources of a large part of the rest of Europe were added to them. No amount of “mobilization for total war”, no degree of economic rationalization, could alter this fundamental fact of life.”

 As I suggested, “the lunatics are in my our halls.”
