As Trump thaws ties, Russia has a new public enemy number one: Britain

quote: "They're the locomotive and pull others along with them," the official said.

Hilarious (and ironic - our rail services are now rather iffy). If we had stayed in the EU, given the state of France and Germany, we would be running it now, and the Russians would be spot on. Unfortunately, we didn't. As the Chagos Islands of the North, our residual status is now derived from the US bases we host, spying on Russia (and, ahem, the EU).

If anything, London has been too soft on Moscow. Most of the military kit we sent to Ukraine was rather retro. UK laws cracking down on Russian oligarchs and their investments were hardly ever used. Anti-SLAPP legislation was shelved. Successive regimes went for the rhetoric and PR (free) over supplying the latest kit (expensive).

Whatever. it's nice that someone out there thinks we are still movers and shakers.

It's natural to be jealous of superior military powers.

This is one of the funniest stories of the day.

Good news for US but not for Great Britain. New Russian hypersonic nuclear capable missiles can be in London in far less than 10 minutes from Russia proper and their unmanned nuclear bomb drone subs can flood entire island equally as fast = Clearly best we just all get Along!

It's natural to be jealous of superior military powers.

The UK is a minnow in the sea of military powers. The entire Armed forces could not fill a second division soccer stadium. The total stock of UK 155mm artillery shells is about the same as Russia fires in 3 DAYS. In 2023 the Russians called up 290,000 reservists. That is more than the combined armed forces of the UK, France and Italy. UK forces had trouble holding Basra against Iraqi Shia militia, How long would they last against Russia? Silly question as it is never going to happen. Just Starmer talking out of his.....

Great Britain Hilarious, Gone Broke! Naval aircraft carriers Broken Down. But still the Egos are to big for the leaking shiny shoes, from Roumania? All ex-colonial nations should be squealing peace please peace pretty please! All, inc US!

It suits Russia's foreign intelligence service to wallow in the ludicrous suggestion, Britain "a warmonger."

Comparisons with Russia vast milltary prowess,.

UK has pickforks, peashooters, and water pistols, barking the english language out from the white cliffs of dover, whilst waving a copy of the Sun. Daily mail from a legion of white vans.

When I return to the "Perfidious Albion", it is unrecognisable.

I have a ex council flat in Shaftesbury Avenue, The area is blighted by gentrification on a scale that has to be seen to be believed.

Russia has embarrassed itself with its extremely poor showing against a moor determined and weaker enemy. Sure Russia could cover the UK with nuclear weapons, but if it cant sink the UK deterrent before it retaliates, no major Russian city would survive.

Suffice to say neither has the ability to treat the number of casualties from a nuclear exchange of any size. And there are no winners at the end of one.

So bark like dogs, point fingers at others, the fact remains Russia invaded its neighbor for territorial gain and is still going after 3 long years of effort and killing off the younger generations of Russians and Ukrainians. The nation that stood beside the Nazi's and enthusiastically shook their hands as they split Poland in 1939 after beginning WWII. (no, it wasn't the British that started the conflict, they and France honored their word to defend Poland if Germany invaded).

Russia as always the warmonger and practiced experts at shifting blame and attention to others.

As Russia wastes in 3 days.

And the cost to Russia's economy and industrial base grows by the day...

In 2023 the Russians called up 290,000 reservists.

And many of them are now dead or injured.

But don't worry, you still have a few North Koreans left...

How long would they last against Russia?

How long would Russia last?

After all, the brave Ukrainians have already killed and injured hundreds of thousands of Putin's war criminals, so their numbers are constantly falling...

As the joke goes, we always thought Russia was the second strongest army in the world. Now we know it's the second strongest army in Ukraine. I'd rather have Ukraine and UK in NATO than the US.

Hilarious how we live rent free in their fevered minds, they see us as a centuries long threat to their existence. We, until their illegal invasion of a peaceful neighbour, didn’t give them a thought, they just didn’t figure that large.

If we are now pissing them off we must be doing something right! Makes you proud to be British, utility we start laughing at their idiocy and decide the garden needs a trim , far more important than them!

Not even the second best army in the Muscovite empire, the Norks are better than them and that’s saying something!

Putin became leader when Tony Blair was PM of UK.

Ooh...thats a long time ago.

Good news for US but not for Great Britain. New Russian hypersonic nuclear capable missiles can be in London in far less than 10 minutes from Russia proper and their unmanned nuclear bomb drone subs can flood entire island equally as fast =

They can deal with it, they want to be independent from the US, let them take the lead and they should give Vlad some serious Hell, maybe send troops to go to war should the man start something like moving into the Baltic Nations.

Don't you mean do whatever Putin wants?

If the Brits want to get pulled into an unwinnable war, that's on them

Bingo!

You surprise le monde avec votre awarness. When did you have the opportunity to compare them?

Putin's conversation with Trump has been going on for two hours. Trump and Putin are going through something similar to their own Yalta conference: "big states will define borders in Europe." Britain was not invited:(

This is one of the funniest stories of the day.

Do you always turn to russian television for your comedy or only when Tucker Carlson is on them?

Good news for US but not for Great Britain. New Russian hypersonic nuclear capable missiles can be in London in far less than 10 minutes from Russia proper and their unmanned nuclear bomb drone subs can flood entire island equally as fast =

Why would that be "good news" for the US? And I'm sure the UK can return the favor on Moscow and St. Petersburg via nuclear sub.

Don't you mean do whatever Putin wants?

The discussion has always been about securing the peace since Trump is uninterested in that.

russia is proposing Ukraine have a total ceasefire while russia has a tiny ceasefire. We must now see whether Foreign Asset Trump tries to carry that out.

while russia has a tiny ceasefire

Wait wait! What about "Ukraine prevails"?????

PS. Writing Russia with a lower-case letter, you're trying to humiliate Russia. Then know that it's the most disgusting thing you can do in your stupid hatred. You can't do more:)

Ukraine would prevail if it wasn't for cowardice in the WH.

No, just according russia the respect it is due.

I watch many more conservatives besides Tucker as for Russian TV, is it a joke?

Oh, they could and I think it is a good idea because I want a strong Europe and I want Europe to increase their military budget to match ours and China, but that means many countries will have to cut back on their entitlement culture.

For Europe, not really.

The channels available outside of Russia are very few and all are in Russian.
