Two British diplomats expelled in a spying row. A blistering statement from Russia's foreign intelligence service calling Britain "a warmonger." And a threat from a top ally of Vladimir Putin to seize UK assets inside Russia. As the U.S. under Donald Trump seeks to reset ties with Moscow and broker peace between Russia and Ukraine, Britain has been granted the status of Russia's public enemy number one.
It's a mantle it has held on and off over the past two centuries. "London today, like on the eve of both World Wars of the last century, is acting as the main global 'warmonger'," Russia's foreign intelligence service said in an unusually charged public statement on Monday. It accused London of trying to derail Trump's efforts to broker peace in Ukraine. "The time has come to expose them and send a clear message to 'perfidious Albion' and its elites: you will not succeed," the agency, known as the SVR, said.
It did not elaborate on its objections to Britain's behaviour prior to the two World Wars. While Moscow has singled out Britain for particularly severe opprobium, it has ramped up its rhetoric against the European Union and French President Emmanuel Macron in particular too, whose talk of France's nuclear arsenal as a counterpoint to a perceived Russian threat has angered the Kremlin. Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022 has become Europe's biggest and deadliest conflict since World War Two. It has left hundreds of thousands of dead and injured, displaced millions more, and triggered the sharpest confrontation between Moscow and the West in decades.

Britain is no longer an ally of this country, and they deserve everything they get. Britain like the whole of Europe never learned the lessons of two World Wars.
I bet Putin is soiling his gotchies in fear.

It was our mistake to follow the UK and intervene in WWI.
Our alliance with Britain reminds me of the comment of a German officer in World War 1 regarding their Austro-Hungarian allies:
“We are fettered to a corpse.”
Britain’s complicity in the Russian hoax has never been resolved.
I’m not particularly pro-Russian (or anti-Russian for that matter) but I think you can make a good argument that they were on the right side of the Crimean War. They wanted to take back Constantinople and turn the Hagia Sophia back into a church.
Britain and it’s allies were focused strictly on European geopolitics and from that point of view I suppose stopping Russia made some sense. But the Turks were weak and ripe for the taking. In hindsight it might have ushered in a more stable world had the Russians occupied Turkey.
Russia would have been stronger after the Crimean War. They'll gain momentum going into WWI.
Potentially we'll avoid WWII. And the Cold War.
Britain is an enemy unto itself — sad
That's the perfect description.
Not Britain, but Starmer.
With his calculated schemes, such as deploying British troops as ‘peace-keepers’ to Ukraine, he is doing all he can to scupper any peace agreement.
All the NORMALS in Britain ought to immigrate West.
Liberals to East Canada.
Conservatives to the USA, Saskatchewan, Alberta and Manitoba.
Or stay put and be muzzied.
They can keep Charley and Megan.
St. Paul’s will be a mosk (sic) soon enough.
Dentists will get a lot of work.
Soccer will upgrade with better players.
