The Kremlin holds us responsible for its failures and will, at some point, attempt to exact its revenge
Putin will soon turn his war machine on Britain
The bizarre essay Putin personally wrote in June 2021, entitled The Real Lessons of the 75th Anniversary of World War II, desperately twists facts, ignores events and casts Russia as the saviour of the world. He claims that the Nazi–Soviet pact that led to the invasion and dismembering of Poland was to the UK’s benefit
trying to recast Russia’s role in the Second World War, Putin lays blame squarely with Britain and France
don’t expect reality. Expect excuses.
Almost a year later, Putin penned another essay: On the Historical Unity of Russia and Ukrainians. It reads like a mix of Mein Kampf and a Walter Scott novel: destiny, ethnic nationalism and romance combined into an essay. It would be too easy to discard, but it is an essay that held all the clues about what was to happen next.
One of the most senior members of the Russian Siloviki recently commented: “We know Britain is behind the invasion of Kursk”.
@ecksmc They honestly think they can attack a NATO member? It's a bad idea guys. Walk away!
@stueytheround honestly don't think they'd attack
That said they do know the threat of attacking could be enough to destabilising UK from within, more than it already is, and could actually be worse for us than them - IMO that would be their gameplan more
@ecksmc @stueytheround I'd bet they'd try cyber-warfare first, from an ally's homeland, N Korea probably, so they could crow if it works, and deny if it fails
@ecksmc @stueytheround O yah, and every once in a while something breaks through, and we get a little blurb on the news.
It's almost lukewarm war at this point
@Avidspark @stueytheround cyber warfare is already happening it has been for years and years its a never ending thing that we don't really hear about - daily attacks from countries have been ongoing for a long time
And UK and US and our allies do the same to Russia and their allies
The "cold war" never really ended it just moved from one "stage" to another "stage"
