And if Russia gives the go-ahead to launch missiles into the UK?
This decision is a stupid and unnecessary provocation.
The new UK Prime Minister is starting off really, really poorly.
Apparently, Starmer suffers from the same delusion that American left wing politicians do, that there are no consequences for your actions.

The UK is pretty ballsy on the world stage considering it does not have its own army anymore. Why is a constitutional republic defending a sh!tty little monarchy? We owe the Brits less than nothing, they owe us.

Did you like London?

Very much.

I would walk all the time in London.

Wherever you turn, there’s history.

Russia is coming to terms with a further reduction of its empire.

More like the US led West is, Russia isn't going anywhere.

Falklands, anyone?

Too bad Milei walked back his rhetoric on the Falklands almost immediately after taking office. Not a reliable ally for the Global South imo.

If CNN can see it coming, AND admits it, then you know we’re in real trouble

Russia isn't committing national suicide like the West. They have huge stocks of natural resources and they exploit them unlike the West. Justa swallowed the propaganda hook, line and sinker. He parroted the globalist lies perfectly. NATO expansion is now Russian expansion. They must be Biden supporters.

“Too bad Milei walked back his rhetoric on the Falklands almost immediately after taking office.”

True, he threw his hat in with the Neocons...but don’t be too sure he’ll stick with them - after all, his initial instincts were correct.

Nice try - unless you’re accepting that NATO has transformed from a defensive organization to offensive organization, kind of like the Nazis in WW2?

And if so, they’ll learn what the Cold War term “City Buster” meant regarding Soviet Hydrogen Bombs.

Yep, i’m pretty concerned.

Separate but somewhat related, It would be a good idea to
double check our preparedness for food and supply shortages.

I just ordered lots of batteries and several flashlights.

Agreed, in principle. Note the language:

...British missiles can be used for defensive strikes against targets inside Russia...

That was NOT a 'typo' by Sky News.
