To UK's Jeremy Hunt: Please be advised: There is no US taxpayer funded "international order," nor is there a US taxpayer funded "rock solid transatlantic alliance." If you and your sick US cronies want to bomb countries and murder people over lack of "shared values," pay for it yourselves. US taxpayers are no longer your slaves.
8/20/18, "Jeremy Hunt wants 'malign' Russia to face tougher sanctions," BBC
UK's Jeremy Hunt |
....
Mr Hunt will call on the EU to "ensure its sanctions against Russia are comprehensive and we truly stand shoulder to shoulder with the US".
"That means calling out and responding to transgressions with one voice whenever they occur, from the streets of Salisbury to the fate of Crimea," he will say.
"Those who do not share our values need to know that there will always be a serious price to pay if red lines are crossed - whether territorial incursions, the use of banned weapons or, increasingly, cyber-attacks".
The Foreign Office said Mr Hunt wanted to ensure existing sanctions on associates of President Putin and state-backed entities were having their intended effect and to galvanise efforts to extend them where needed.
Mr Hunt will warn of multiple economic and security threats to the international order and say the once "rock-solid" transatlantic alliance would be further undermined
Arguments over the funding of Nato and global trade have soured relations between the US and Europe since Donald Trump's election last year.
While accepting arguments of Russia's potential culpability for the Salisbury attacks, Mr Trump has nevertheless pressed for better relations with President Putin and cast doubt on evidence of Russian interference in the 2016 US presidential election.
In his speech, Mr Hunt will say popular support for open democracies and economies in the West cannot be taken for granted and will suggest many of the issue championed by Mr Trump must be addressed.
"We are putting our heads in the sand if we blame social media by pretending that some of the causes of that resentment are not real - whether caused by the decline in real incomes for many Americans and Europeans, dislocation caused by changes in technology or the identity concerns of many voters caused by immigration.
"Expressing such resentment is an affirmation and not a rejection of the core democratic instinct that a society must work for all its citizens - so the sooner we address those concerns the stronger our democracies will be.""
