Nigel Farage is under attack by media the world over. As someone who is not taking the BS of the Deep State and globalists, he just says it like it is. This is so refreshing and reminds me of President Trump.
In a recent flurry of political discourse in the UK, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Labour leader Keir Starmer strongly condemned comments made by Reform UK leader Nigel Farage. Farage claimed that actions by the EU and NATO had “provoked” Russia’s invasion of Ukraine by expanding eastwards. Speaking to reporters, Sunak emphasized that Farage’s views were entirely incorrect and detrimental, suggesting they served to reinforce Russian President Vladimir Putin’s agenda. “This kind of appeasement is dangerous for Britain’s security and that of our allies,” Sunak stated, also referencing a previous incident where Putin allegedly deployed nerve agents on British soil. The poor man has no clue about history. He seems to only spout off the propaganda that we now see daily coming from our own side in the conflict.

Starmer echoed Sunak’s disapproval, branding Farage’s comments as “disgraceful.” He stressed the importance of recognizing Russia’s sole responsibility for the conflict in Ukraine. “Anyone standing for parliament should make it clear: Russia is the aggressor, Putin is responsible, and we stand with Ukraine,” Starmer asserted. He highlighted the unified stance of the parliament on this issue since the onset of the conflict. Of course they are all unified against logic and actual history.
The controversy stems from Farage’s appearance on a BBC Panorama interview, where he reiterated his long-held view that EU and NATO’s expansion had antagonized Russia, leading to the conflict. Despite acknowledging Putin’s wrongdoing in invading Ukraine, Farage maintained that the West had played a role in provoking the conflict. It is actually logical and factual to think this, but anyone who does is attacked by the Deep State and globalist minions across the globe.

This stance drew sharp criticism from multiple political figures, including Labour’s defense spokesman John Healey, who described Farage as a “Putin apologist” and cautioned against trusting him with national security. Similarly, former Conservative Defense Secretary Ben Wallace criticized Farage, comparing him to the “pub bore” everyone tries to avoid. This is all utter BS, just as much as how on this side of the pond they called Trump an agent of Putin. People on both sides of the Atlantic are seeing past the propaganda more and more each day.
On social media, Farage defended his position, claiming consistency and honesty in his views about the war. “Putin was wrong to invade a sovereign nation, and the EU was wrong to expand eastward,” he stated. Farage expressed a belief that acknowledging these points would be pivotal in ending the conflict and restoring peace.
