British House of Lords member Indarjit Singh believes that Russia should be offered NATO membership in exchange for the withdrawal of troops from Ukraine.
He put forward this proposal during a meeting of parliament, writes Sky News .
“Putin likes to pose as a strong man, protecting Mother Russia from a perceived threat from the NATO alliance. If the West openly offered Russia NATO membership in exchange for its complete withdrawal from Ukraine, this would completely undermine Putin’s credibility and help end the suffering of the Ukrainian people and promote the cause of world peace,” he said.The publication notes that his proposal outraged colleagues from all over the upper house.
Foreign Minister Tariq Ahmad responded: “I’m sure Lord Singh is well-intentioned, but I’m afraid I can’t go along with this proposal…
Maybe someone who can stop this war is Mr Putin and he can stop it right now,” The Guardian quoted him as saying .
Other Singh’s statements about the war
Last fall, a member of the House of Lords proposed that NATO be disbanded to give Putin the escape route he “so desperately needs.”
“My lords, NATO was created to contain the threat of the former Soviet Union – an entity that no longer exists.
It is individual countries, not NATO, that have helped and are helping the courageous people of Ukraine. If this does not work, then at least show the Russians what kind of person Putin is,” he said.

Indarjit Singh, AKA Baron Singh of Wimbledon, is a 90 year old Sikh cleric who sits in the House of Lords as a crossbencher; meaning he represents no political party.
His views are irrelevant. He’s not a putlerite; just a tired old guy trying a bit too hard to come up with original ideas. Clearly he has no idea of the putrescent evil of the putler murder gang.
“Last fall, a member of the House of Lords proposed that NATO be disbanded to give Putin the escape route he “so desperately needs.”
How about disbanding the totally useless and irrelevant House of Lords. It’s just a place where the old fuckers go to sleep and get paid for the privilege. Members attending this outdated club, receive the equivalent of $430 a day plus travel expenses and subsidised restaurant facilities.
Singh must be on drugs.
Why is there a house of Lords in the first place?
What a BS.
Its original purpose to to balance the populism of the Commons. That ended with Blair denuding Lords of those that inherited titles. Now, it is useless other than being the highest court of appeal.
