The BBC is one of many to report that David Cameron, His Majesty’s Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs; Former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, has pleaded with American Republicans to pass a $60bn (£50bn) military aid package to fund the Ukraine side against Russia. The US Senate passed it on Tuesday 15th February 2024. Watch our video on YouTube:
Global Security
Lord Cameron thought he could persuade the Republicans in the US House of Representatives (Congress) in this article for The Hill newspaper by appealing to ‘global security’, whatever that means, and by citing Adolf Hitler.
‘I believe our joint history shows the folly of giving in to tyrants in Europe who believe in redrawing boundaries by force,’ said the Foreign Secretary. ‘I do not want us to show the weakness displayed against Hitler in the 1930s.’
But at the same time, ‘We have already destroyed almost half of Russia’s prewar military capacity,’ whoever ‘We’ are. ‘It’s Vladimir Putin who should be fearing failure. Almost a quarter of his Black Sea fleet has been sunk. He’s suffered almost 300,000 dead and wounded — more in two years of fighting than the Soviet Union suffered in Afghanistan over a decade. Russia has witnessed its first attempted coup in three decades, and its first debt default in over a century.’
So Russia is on the brink of failure but at the same time is threatening NATO and the West? It doesn’t add up. And what about this: ‘The West has helped Ukrainians liberate half the territory seized by Putin, all without the loss of any NATO service personnel.’ Ah, so the UK and US are going to stay well out of it ourselves, but we shall jolly well fight to the last Ukrainian?

Revanchism vs Imperialism
In this article, Joe Lauria explains the difference between Revanchism and Imperialism. Western critics purposely or ignorantly confuse the two to serve their interests, he writes.
‘Succinctly, the difference is this: imperialists take control of a country that does not want them there and resists. A revanchist wants to absorb former imperial lands where the population is largely the same ethnicity and welcomes the revanchist power to protect them from an outside threat.
‘Yes, Hitler was being revanchist in his defense of the German-speaking Sudetenland in Czechoslovakia. But it was a first step in an imperial design to conquer countries that ultimately resisted him.’ The latter was ‘Lebensraum’, literally ‘Living Room’ a widely-stated German concept of expansionism and Völkisch nationalism, which involved initial expansion into the Soviet Union. There is nothing of that from Vladimir Putin, as even Hilary Clinton acknowledged as Secretary of State in 2010.
Mr Lauria writes: ‘Given the results of the four (Donbass) regional referendums in 2022, plus the one in Crimea in 2014, it is clear the people of those regions wanted to rejoin Russia after the (2014 Kiev Maidan Square) coup and the revival of Ukrainian extremism.’

When the elite lecture you, do the opposite
Foreign leaders turning up to lecture populations or their lawmakers rarely goes down well. We remember Barack Obama at that press conference with David Cameron in April 2016, held co-incidentally at the Foreign Office. He laid out what he said were the perils of a leave vote in the EU referendum.
He explained he had the ‘temerity to weigh in’ on the matter because Brexiteers were saying the UK would be free to negotiate a trade deal with the US. Not so, said the then-President. Brexit would put the UK at the ‘back of the queue’ for trade talks.
His intervention delighted Mr Cameron and the rest of the Guardian-reading Remainers, but backfired as soon as ordinary people realised that ‘back of the queue’ is not an expression Americans use. They never ‘queue’, they simply ‘wait in line’. The speech was a set-up. It wasn’t real. It was irritating, pompous and condescending. We worked out that anything promoted by that class of people, the world’s elite, would probably benefit them and their friends rather than us.

’He won’t bully me’
Republican representative Marjorie Taylor Greene tweeted in response to Lord Cameron: ‘David Cameron should be concerned about the Nazis in Ukraine’s army, the Azov Battalion. We’re all sick of the absurd name calling,’ she went on, ‘it isn’t going to bully me into funding the war in Ukraine.’ She then told him where to get off in less than polite terms.
For that matter, ’is Lordship might address the open anti-semitism displayed weekly on the streets of London, by Muslims and leftists whom the Government is doing nothing to counter.
‘Don’t show weakness,’ he yelled at Congress. How can he even dare say ‘Don’t show Weakness’ after thirteen years of Conservative weakness culminating in the idea that a man can decide he is a woman and no-one can challenge his pronouns becoming the official policy of His Majesty’s Armed Forces?
David Cameron’s foreign policy legacy
We must remember this is the same David Cameron who voted for Tony Blair’s war in Iraq in 2003, and who even today won’t apologise for the Conservative Party’s role in backing it.
He is the same David Cameron who as Prime Minister wanted to blow Syria to pieces in 2013, was refused by the House of Commons, by just 13 votes, but proceeded to arm the Al Qaeda jihadists there instead. It’s the same David Cameron who launched air strikes against Libya in 2011.
As the Guardian reports, MPs on the Foreign Affairs Select Committee subsequently ruled his intervention in Libya was ‘carried out with no proper intelligence analysis, drifted into an unannounced goal of regime change and shirked its moral responsibility to help reconstruct the country’ following the murder of Muammar Gaddafi, leading to a failed state on the verge of all-out civil war, and today, to a staging post for migrants crossing the Mediterranean.
This is David Cameron’s foreign policy legacy. The moral high ground is for him a distant upland. At home, his legacy is Gay Marriage and his miscalculation of the Brexit vote. It was a good thing for the UK to escape the EU, but the people’s vote brought David Cameron down.
What the Lord says to David Cameron
His Capitol Hill intervention reveals a man possessed by extreme arrogance matched by scant self-awareness. His failures have never taught him humility. Rather than lecturing American lawmakers, he should be repenting in sackcloth and ashes for the destruction he wreaked both at home and abroad.
The Bible tells us (in Psalm 10) ‘The LORD is King for ever and ever’. The psalmist cries out: ‘Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble. … Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: … LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: … that the man of the earth may no more oppress.’
To David Cameron he says, in the words of the prophet Haggai: ‘Consider your ways.’ The Proverb says: ‘Every one who is arrogant is an abomination to the LORD.’
And here for David Cameron and for the rest of the elite are the first recorded words of the Lord Jesus according to Mark ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.’
Read and Pray
READ: 1Sam 2:3; Psa 10:12- 18; Prov 16:3-8; Jer 17:5; Ezek 3:19, 33:19; Haggai 1:7; Mark 1:15.
PRAY: Pray for repentance for David Cameron and all those who lead us. Thank God there are found men and women in the corridors of power who stand for righteousness.
Pray the Lord will exalt them and deliver us all from the men of war, the oppressors who hold the Lord and his people in contempt. Arise O Lord!
