The outcome of the diplomatic blitzkrieg of the British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who went on tour to Berlin and Paris, as long as depressing. Undoubtedly, from a position of masculine power and domination (in the sense in which It understand English tabloids and American rednecks) Boris Johnson clearly prevailed over its European counterpart - the whole world saw the photo where He is depicted in the " dominant position ", i.e. with the foot on the table directly in private talks with Macron. But from the position of a real diplomatic success (not good photos) the situation is best described by the columnist of the American Agency of business information Bloomberg Lionel Laurent. He described the results of the meeting of 2 leaders as " a bittersweet victory for the Makron in Brucite ".
Special piquancy of the situation makes the fact that shortly before the start of a diplomatic tour of the sparkling of the British Prime Minister in the Sunday Times was suddenly placed the text of the secret government document, which quite soberly describes the consequences of the so-called hard Brekzita. The last of the conduct of Johnson becomes the baseline scenario. The document generated by the office of the Prime Minister of the Tory government in cooperation with Hm Treasury, government structures and agencies, is truly British name of "Operation" Harriers ", And you can read It as a true political Thriller, worthy of the pen of Thomas Clancy. To feel the spirit and emotion of this unique document should give the impression of a correspondent of the American TV channel si-EN-EN, who Say that " the United Kingdom is likely to face a shortage of food, fuel and medicines, if it will leave the EU without an agreement on the transition (that is, hard mode Brekzita.- Approx. Ed.) ".
The situation around the "Operation" Oatmeal "(part of the British press, is a priority for a More harmonious version of " Operation Chaos ", But the song words can not erase) creates grotesque unverified information, some of which are impossible to distinguish from reality, because it is not clear that London is ready to go, To somehow alleviate the suffering of the British economy in the case of rigid Brekzita. British economic investigative journalist Ian Fraser citing economic editor, BBC informs Benjamin Chu: "I declare that the government of Boris Johnson is looking for a fleet of an-124, built in the Ukraine, is the only aircraft that can transport 3 44-ton truck to transport vital savings in the case of rigid Brekzita ". Readers, of course told the journalist that in fact such aircraft will be necessary, Perhaps, to borrow from Russia, and that the hearing (or plan?) looks like gibberish. But this incident perfectly captures the emotional state of the British information field.
you might guess that playing with open cards difficult. And it so happened that Boris Johnson went to Berlin and Paris to demonstrate its unwavering position to bluff, despite the fact that the whole world was able to read Its a real card and this British deck was not in any sense an impressive trump. However, Johnson was not much of a choice in terms of strategy behavior: in his keynote article, He made a promise to Vladimir Putin and at the same time all citizens of the UK that Breaksit will take place under any conditions and strictly October 31, 2019 and thereby Vladimir Putin as if it is proven that Western liberalism is alive, And the President of Russia was wrong, announcing the end of Its shelf life.
The bizarre logic of the British Prime Minister it is difficult to grasp, But what's done is done, the gauntlet has been thrown, and now Johnson, whose "machismo and resilience" - the main elements of the political image, is bound to get out somehow, even if in the UK will begin the shortages of medicines, food and fuel.
Moreover, it has to be the most humiliating for the official London, the whole strategy of the new government regarding Brekzita were calculated in advance (And publicly!) President of France, which currently has received the full moral right to the victory lap around the Elysee Palace. Bloomberg lists the successful predictions of Macron on the question of what the government will do Johnson:
in such circumstances, Boris Johnson will be very difficult for the 30 days that he "measured out" at the recent negotiations, Angela Merkel, to find some solution which at the same time would protect the hard Brekzita and thus would satisfy the radical members of the Conservative party, who came to the polls and geopolitical ambitions of the British Prime Minister. His bet that at the Last moment the European Union will SAG under the London requirements and will be ready to refuse already agreed (and extremely disadvantageous for the UK) conditions, which was signed by Theresa may, as long as it is not justified.
It is Possible that this rate will not play, because now there's at least one key European leader, for which the British disaster is a personal geopolitical victory. Besides, the brighter it will "burn" the British economy, the More important will be the triumph of Macron. Of course, the British Prime Minister could blame the Makron in the Putin, But His rating and the prospects for the UK this will not be easier.
