Of course it translates to your claim about Johnson meeting with Zelenskyy and "ordering" him to pass on negotiating. I understand you'd like to pull claims directly out of your ass without being challenged -- that seems to be your style around here, after all -- but no, you will need to show that 1) Boris was speaking for NATO and/or the US instead of just the UK and 2) that he "ordered" rather than convinced Zelinskyy to refuse negotiations.
One could argue you're falling victim to the post hoc fallacy, but I do think there was a connection. I just don't think it has the master/servant character you're desperately trying to imbue it with.
As for what Hitchens ha in mind, it's not relevant. If you want to convince me or anyone else here, you'll need evidence. I won't compromise on this, because that would likely result in a flood of PIDOOMA from you about a lot of stuff.
So let's make your next reply to me about the evidence to back up your claim. Absent that, you'll have confirmed to me that you're just another Internet Bullshit Artist, and I will treat you accordingly. Understood?
