Declassified: UK Knew NATO Expansion 'Would Provoke' Russia War

by Kit Klarenberg in Global Delinquents on Substack

Since the so-called s February 2022 eruption, British officials have relentlessly reiterated the mantra the proxy war was unprovoked. However, a declassified March 1995 Foreign Office memo noted there was a widespread psychological and intellectual perception in Moscow that NATO was a real threat. In May that year, then-Prime Minister John Major succinctly articulated Russian anxieties to his Irish counterpart John Bruton, as a fundamental fearof encirclement. Concerns about EU membership were comparatively muted

London Tube strikes to go ahead this week after failed talks heres what to know

Carol Grose reviews a book about the policies of the British Monarchy:
"The Crowns Silence gives a clear view into the British monarchys long entanglement with the Atlantic slave trade and slavery in the Americas. Frequently, omissions allowed scholars to avoid highlighting and analysing the British royal familys role in encouraging and profiting from the slave trade and slavery. When Elizabeth I became queen, Englands finances were in a parlous state, and to rectify this she encouraged traders to follow the lead of Portugal and Spain and plunder west Africa. When she understood the profitability of the slave trade, she offered her political support, eventually investing herself and loaning navy warships as protection against the Spanish and Portuguese. The monarchs who followed Elizabeth used her strategy of investment and using military support to perpetuate the slave trade. Newmans comprehensive and careful archival work demonstrates the significance of scrutinizing business transactions and policy to establish historical patterns. She shows the economic and political importance of slavery to the British monarchy and how, when abolishing the slave trade became a popular moral cause, the royal family became more oblique about how they benefitted.

"Throughout The Crowns Silence, Newman builds the argument by using a variety of archives that show how the monarchy was tied to commercial interests within the city of London. Credit facilities developed to facilitate the slave trade and the slave dependent plantation economies in the Americas. The historical narrative is at its strongest when she describes how the legal framework around slaveholding became more complicated in the eighteenth century in part because the British wanted to create a distinction between themselves and the venal slavers in America, creating a tiered system where slaves of African descent in the British isles had the potential for liberty. Creating the distinction fueled the abolition movement which peaked around the time Queen Victoria came to the throne. After slavery was abolished in the Caribbean, because people of African descent were put into a harsh form of coerced apprenticeship. As Newman points out, there was colonial campaign to credit Queen Victoria with the end of slavery and apprenticeship, although, unlike the slaveholders, they received no compensation for their years of labor. Moreover, Newman concludes that Victorias husband, Prince Albert, the standard for future royal statements without teeth or legal implications statements carefully crafted to highlight Britains abolition efforts and erase centuries of racial exploitation and violence by omission.

UKs next ambassador to Japan may be called to give evidence in Mandelson inquiry Politics The Guardian

Her appearance before the committee could help resolve some unanswered questions, as MPs struggle to piece together events, which have been hampered by lack of any written records or audit-trails recording the Foreign Offices decision making in relation to Mandelsons vetting.
