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

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.

I’ll get back to you on the next billion pound throwaway. If you’re willing to take a bet that she won’t sign off on new billions for Ukraine, I’m certainly game.

She will not be Prime Minister for long if she doesn't fix the economy and bring inflation, high energy and food prices down.
“Deep state” cannot save her then.

Wonderful. Another globohomo neocon who loves war in countries we have no business being involved in. Bush/Cheney clones just refuse to go away.

Just out - Liz is not having any white men in her cabinet.

This means no competent, experienced military men to advise her on her Ukraine adventures

What could go wrong?

Russia: who?

Unfortunately the Russians do know her as the British foreign secretary who thought Rostov-on-Don was in Ukraine.

Liz Truss makes humiliating Russian geography gaffe

As par, lame ass media painting her like Wonder Woman 2.0 when she is nothing but a Boris Johnson 2.0.

And sheIdiot not going to change anything but make things worse. She not afraid to use nukes and people in their idiocy clap to that. Go figure.

Truss has openly said she’d engage in a nuclear war with Russia. She’s a dangerous idiot.

Your no fun.

She did actually say that.

And she is kind of crazy so she might try to follow through.

Not sure she will be able to get away with it, but we do live in crazy times.

The tweet is wrong. The actual article talks about the "Top Four" cabinet positions: Prime Minister, Foreign Minister, Home Secretary, Chancellor of the Exchequer (Finance Chief).

Two of Johnson's top four were "non-white." Truss is a woman, so the change from Johnson to Truss isn't that great.

There are over twenty positions in the Cabinet. There will be plenty of White men in the rest of the cabinet.

When was that?
I watched her speech in front of Downing Street today.
She said nothing about appointing no white men to her entire cabinet,
She concentrated on the economy, the NHS etc, like she should.
What more ya got?
