How Liz Truss, Russia's Nemesis, Could Change Ukraine War if She Becomes PM
Newsweak ^ | 7/22/22 | Brendan Cole

Posted on 09/06/2022 6:35:02 AM PDT by hardspunned

British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss is the bookmakers' favorite to become the next prime minister of the United Kingdom, but the Kremlin is unlikely to be betting on a different British approach to relations with Moscow, or the war in Ukraine, should she take over from incumbent Boris Johnson. Although enjoying less support among fellow Conservative Party MPs, Truss's greater popularity among grassroots Tories than Chancellor Rishi Sunak in the final run-off has seen Betfair put her odds-on 4/6 to win. If successful, she will be the face of the British response to the war in Ukraine during which she has backed Britons fighting alongside Ukrainian forces and said it was "realistic" Russia could be pushed out of Crimea.

Just a reminder of what to expect from Britain’s new PM. She’s apparently dumb and anti Russian enough to serve as Biden’s Margaret Thatcher as this pair lead the west INTO a generational Cold War European quagmire.

Your post is from July. None of the above is going to happen.
Liz Truss is laser focused on fixing the British economy right now. She has no time or money to go sending British troops to go fighting wars in Ukraine.

IF? Did she and Boris meet with Liz this morning? Think that was the final step. And having the support of 1 out of 6 brits can’t be good. Never underestimate the power of stoopid.

It's a Brendan Cole article.

Newsweak's Brendan is a favorite of the Zeeper brigade.

hardspunned ain't a Zeeper - just posting to mock "Miss Information" Truss, the former guiding hand of MI6 anti-Russian agitprop, I imagine.

“ Biden” and “ Margaret Thatcher” = cognitive dissonance.
I remember Margaret Thatcher.
This intellectual lightweight is no Margaret Thatcher,.

Why aren’t they comparing Liz to Theresa May? Another winner…

That’s rich! No money? Why don’t you give your big guy the heads up. He has no money to go fighting wars in Ukraine. You assume she’s going to perform your RINO two step by campaigning on one platform but governing on another. Let’s hope you’re right. Most likely, as usual, you’re wrong.

The "quagmire" in Europe worked out pretty well for us last time with the Soviets collapsing.

And unfortunately Truss is very unlikely to be a Thatcher when it comes to the self-inflicted wounds of Britain's economic and energy policies. The North Sea has enough gas and oil to make Britain independent or nearly so. Like the US, British elites have simply turned off the local tap and then complain about Russia to deflect from their own stupidity.

LOL - Biden’s Maggie Thatcher.

So, so sad. I would hope this wasn’t totally true.

Reagan/Thatcher were a Godsend. They led us OUT of a generational quagmire. Biden has found his stupid, globalist, warmongering soulmate. This pair, sent from hell, is doing the reverse of Reagan/Thatcher. God knows I’d never compare this new putz to Thatcher (next to Churchill, my favorite).

Except Liz Truss did NOT campaign on sending British troops to go fight in Ukraine. Nobody did.
Nor did she campaign on pumping more billions into Ukraine.
Her campaign was focused on the economy, high energy costs, high grocery costs, inflation etc. Stuff that the British voters are suffering from.

VLADIVOSTOK, September 6. /TASS/. Incoming British Prime Minister Liz Truss has previously uttered belligerent remarks against Russia, nonetheless, Moscow hopes that its relations with London ‘won’t get worse’, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in an interview with RBC TV on Tuesday.
“I think that in the situation in which Russia-UK relations are now in, we can hope for one thing only - that it won’t get worse. Although it’s hard to imagine how much worse it could get,” the Kremlin spokesman told the channel. According to him, the current situation “may be judged by the statements that she (Truss - TASS) made when she was Foreign Secretary and a contender for the position of party leader”. “She didn’t say anything good about us. Moreover, I can say with regret that her statements were quite aggressive, unfriendly and unconstructive,” Peskov indicated.
With that in mind, he summarized, “it’s safe to assume that nothing much will change in the foreseeable future.” “As for a potential deterioration of the situation, that can’t be ruled out. Right now, we can’t rule anything out, again, given the unpredictability of our opponents,” Peskov specified.

I saw this response to election from the Russians and was reviewing some of her positions regarding Russia. It worked for Eisenhower/Dulles, it worked for Reagan/Thatcher, it won’t work for these two boobs.
