UK PM Keir Starmer's plan to engage a 'coalition of the willing' to invade Ukraine with NATO 'peacekeepers' probably reminds most people of the use of a similar phrase in the run-up to the Iraq war.

But it has actually been used on another occasion as Kit Klarenberg revealed on Grayzone in 2024.

A confidential Blair memo dated 05 April 1999 says this in item 3:

There is much to be said for moving towards a coalition of the willing, rather than NATO, to prosecute this to the end.

'this' being the illegal NATO war on the Yugoslavian Serbs, a war stage-managed by the Clinton administration.

Does Starmer even know that this phrase was used in a barmy plan by Blair to push for the invasion of Yugoslavia by a 'coalition of the willing' comprising primarily of the USA and UK.

And if he does know how can he possibily think that using this phrase, firmly associated with illegal invasions by the West/NATO, is helpful in the case of Ukraine?

Klarenberg reports that in his 1997 election campaign Blair said:

Century upon century it has been the destiny of Britain to lead other nations. That should not be a destiny that is part of our history. It should be part of our future… We are a leader of nations, or we are nothing.

Now all the UK leads are coalitions of the willing that lead to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people, which is hardly nothing but not really the kind of destiny that anyone should be aiming for.
