Russia warned Britain on Monday that if British weapons were used by Ukraine to strike Russian territory then Moscow could hit back at British military installations and equipment both inside Ukraine and elsewhere.
Russia said British Ambassador Nigel Casey was summoned to the foreign ministry for a formal protest after Foreign Secretary David Cameron said last week that Ukraine had the right to use British weapons to strike Russia.
Russia's foreign ministry said the Cameron remarks recognised that Britain was now de facto a part of the conflict and contradicted an earlier assurance that long-range weapons given to Ukraine would not be used against Russia.

I swear by all that is holy, I will find you and eat all your food.
“No Navy anymore.”
The Royal Navy is a shadow of what it had been eighty years ago. Still, it has two carrier groups and the ability to strike Moscow. The Ruzzian Navy has no such capability. The Ruzzian Navy at this point has become a littoral navy that can only move into blue water with NATO’s permission. And then only from Murmansk. The Baltic is closed to Ruzzia at NATO’s discretion.
If Britain is so impotent, why is Putin so upset that British weapons are blowing up Russian's invading army?
🤣👍
Well, when the “allies” put together a squadron to control the Houthis in the Red Sea, the Brits had two aircraft carriers, one brand new and very expensive. Neither of them could be moved out of Portsmouth due to: 1) lack of personnel; and, 2) mechanical problems. John Bull can blow and threaten all he wants but it looks like the colonials end up bearing the brunt of most everything David Cameron advocates.
If that happened, Russia could probably kiss goodbye to any part of its navy not hiding in port. Astute class subs are a lot better han their Soviet junk. They’d probably find Tomohawks hitting the Kremlin in Moscow too.
Looks like we shall soon see how good Russia is and how good NATO is. War is looming and with it a whole new world order. One thing is clear, lots of folks are going to be dead.
In a war between Russia and NATO-USA We win, War between USA-NATO vs Axis of Evil—They win.
Wars take on a life of their own and can spin in all sorts of directions. The outcome is in question. I think too many people have watched too many old WW II movies, where we always win—The Second World War was a horror show—Just say No to World War!
I always wonder if all the talkers have ever taken a life. Putin isn’t threatening, he is adding variables to Britain’s calculation. Thia is what Trump did very effectively. Wars happen because “leaders” don’t make the lines bright enough.
You’re an idiot, it’s publicly known.
I drove by Malmstrom in vacation.
The old Soviet arsenals are on track to be expended next year, all other things remaining equal.
A significant factor about striking targets in Russia, is that it would stress declining Russian air defense assets, dramatically further.
Will they protect the front, the refineries, the factories or the Capital? They don’t have enough to protect everything, and their total number of Air Defense systems continues declining.
We are entering a new phase of the war, with more advanced (but still outdated) Western capabilities being provided to Ukraine, like longer range ATCMS and F-16s (with their suite of munitions capabilities). The attrition is going to cut deeper into the old Soviet aviation assets, economy and Defense Industrial Base, as the ground combat equipment reserves are going through their last hurrah this year and next.
The balance of power is shifting, as Putin continues to pour his Soviet military inheritance into the grinder, and NATO and Allied defense budgets have increased in total, much more than Russia’s.
Time is not on Russia’s side, if the West doesn’t quit. This Congress could pass the 2025 aid appropriation before adjourning, and that would pretty much polish off the old Soviet fleets of Armored vehicles and Artillery, as well as several other key military capabilities.
Then China can pounce.
Are you retarded or something?🤨 I don’t know quite how to explain my thoughts, but I’ll try...so, please bear with me.🤔 I once watched a documentary about loony bins (set in the 40s or 50s). There was one unfortunate soul (I think his name was Carl) who’d been given an ice pick lobotomy & was standing in a corridor dribbling on his shoes.🤤 I’m not saying he was in league with the unfortunate soul smearing fecal matter on the walls.💩 However, let’s just say he wasn’t living his best life: he was basically incoherent & I’m really not sure how many brain cells survived.😳 Anywho, i’ve often wondered what became of Carl... Reading you reminds me of him!😳🤓🤠😵💫🤡
Keep dreaming.
The monsters are due on Maple Street.
Nice leftist reply including childish name calling and all. Still not something we want repeated on the internet. Don’t need to make it too easy for leftist terrorist.
The location of Malmstrom is public knowledge.
Trying to troll me won’t undo that.
But if you wish to continue to broadcast your ignorance, and then, (after having been corrected), your stupidity, I can’t prevent it.
