I have seen him wholeheartedly reassuring Zelensky, and how beautiful is to be a friend in deed for someone in need, yet he wants to reduce defense spending, which sound wise. He is also ready to face Zelensky and let him know directly about his decision to cut defense spending. Antagonistic apparently but he really is supporting morally Ukraine while supporting financially his own country’s interest.
Some say he is boring but I sense a steadiness in his talk. A great listener! There is something more than allowing the other person in the dialog to end their statements before jumping on, with arguments. A specific way of looking at you, generously suggesting “you have my undivided attention!”
I also came across an oasis of diplomacy, a cordial dialog between an ex UK-ambassador in Russia and the current Russian ambassador in UK, dated just about after Mr Starmer started his duty in the UK’s office. Would that be a coincidence? Or an attempt to undo some not-so-diplomatic approach to Russia?!
I do not sense duplicity or falseness, but a healthy attitude to try to satisfy antagonistic requests from poles away positions. He has his own way to attempt the “impossible”! Great leaders are leaders that try to do the “impossible”, as Alexander the Great said “There is nothing impossible to him who will try”. I sense Mr Starmer is one of them. I remember President Bukele sharing his way of addressing the impossible and got a miracle, and I know that where there is a will, there is a way.
I do not know if Mr Starmer is a big patriot, but I feel he wants to deliver to his electorate just as much as he wants (and has to if he wants to survive) to deliver to the forces that, world wide, bigger than UK currents, engage UK in certain directions. He carefully has been trying to build relationships on both sides of the aisle in the US these days. He spoke to Republicans as well as Biden’s Democrats on visits to the US.
Some say that he is a small guy that is led from the shadows by Tony Blair, but watch out! He needs Toni Blair’s experience until he can take all the ropes in his hands, so now, he is wisely still carefully and cautiously “cadett-ing” around Tony Blair, but that will not last for long.
I am just in the right mood to witness the success of an intelligent and great leader, as Mr Starmer is in the mood to make the “impossible” of delivering to all the antagonistic directions and challenges, that all the Western countries come across, being heavily indebted, overwhelming-ly indoctrinated by World Economic Forum and instigated against Russia and China by the US and EU commissioners.
Below you can see an interview of two ambassadors of two countries that are one step away from war, yet they speak in a very diplomatic way, agreeing to disagree and holding their position with dignity and respect to each other. A colorful dialog, vividly colored especially by remembering facts both of them witnessed.
