Just for clarity, I don't know that it was written by Tisdall, just that it seems like it was. Most of his warmongering stuff is probably dictated to him anyway.

The editorial really is full to the brim with all the tricks of the media propagandists and rank hypocrisy like this:

Should Zelenskiy heed the siren voices calling for talks at any price, even though Moscow arrogantly ignores Kyiv’s peace plan?

Really? That's how you're going to frame it? No mention of Johnson and his emergency visit to tell them to not proceed with an almost fixed peace plan?

And what about this for cramming the most smear terms into one line?:

On top of all this, Ukrainians and their western supporters have had to endure the sight of the insufferable Vladimir Putin, an indicted war criminal, courting China and the “global south” by video at the Brics summit and hosting a fellow mass murderer, North Korea’s Kim Jong-un, for talks on illegal arms deals.

Ah yes, the "global south" as if it's some kind of fantasy and as for "mass murderer"...where do you start?

Even for that rag, this is bullshit in almost every line. The original has links to (apparently) support their points, which are amusing to follow.
