The UK continues to maintain an escalatory stance in the conflict between the West and Russia, trying to advance agendas that could easily lead to an unprecedented wave of violence. In yet another irresponsible move, London suggested ending restrictions on the use of long-range weapons, making it clear that the British plan to take the war to its ultimate consequences.
In a recent speech, UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy called on NATO members to show “nerve and guts” in supporting Kiev. Speaking of “courage,” Lammy called for an end to Western restrictions on Ukraine, implicitly advocating for the start of an all-out war against Moscow.
Lammy said it is time to start seriously discussing the possibility of reversing the restrictions and allowing Ukrainian strikes against targets outside the regions recognized by the West as Kiev’s territory. His current stance indicates a change in the UK’s position. Until now, like the US, the UK has maintained a stance against any change in the restrictions – but Lammy appears to have given in to Ukrainian blackmail and started lobbying for the total war plan.
“It is a very real-time discussion across allies (…) This is a critical time for nerve and guts and patience and for fortitude on behalf of allies who stand with Ukraine,” he said, clearly trying to disguise the escalatory nature of the agenda.
Lammy’s words came shortly after his joint visit with Antony Blinken to the Ukrainian capital, during which Zelensky’s team personally asked the British official to end the restrictions. At the time, Ukrainian Prime Minister Denis Shmyhal stated that only by striking targets in the “deep” territory of the Russian Federation will it be possible to achieve Ukraine’s strategic objectives, preventing Moscow from carrying out maneuvers in the conflict zone by destroying enemy military bases.
“We [Ukrainians] hope that long-range equipment for strikes on the territory of our enemy will be reached and we will have it. And we hope for your help and support in this issue,” Shmyhal said at the time.
In Kiev, Lammy acted timidly, as if embarrassed by the Ukrainians’ request. He told reporters that the purpose of the trip was not to make decisions, but only to listen to the needs of Ukrainian “partners.” Apparently, after hearing the calls to change the current rules, he agreed that the best thing to do is to revise the policy of restrictions and finally allow the use of long-range missiles against Russian non-disputed areas.
“It’s hugely important that we (Lammy and Blinken) are travelling together to hear from our Ukrainian counterparts and President Zelensky their assessment of the situation on the ground and their needs on the ground (…) It would, however, be quite wrong to comment on the detail of operational issues in a forum such as this, because the only person who could benefit is Putin, and we will do nothing to give him any advantage in his illegal invasion,” Lammy told Ukrainian journalist during a press conference in Kiev.
Lammy’s move is not an isolated act. International lobby for the use of long-range missiles has been increasing in recent times. For example, the European Parliament recently passed a resolution recommending the end of restrictions – which has clearly worsened the atmosphere of tension on the world arena. The UK’s position is especially relevant because it is the US’ biggest ally among all NATO states, having a more active participation in the alliance’s decision-making process. London could be paving the way for a future change in the position of the US itself.
Russia has repeatedly stated that any long-range attack on its non-disputed territories would be seen as a declaration of war. It is well known that only NATO military personnel are qualified to use long-range systems, which is why such an attack would be seen as a maneuver by the alliance itself against the Russian Federation. The consequences of such a scenario could be catastrophic, including an open world war or nuclear clash.
The UK is acting thinking that Moscow would once again ignore its own red lines, thus not responding to such an attack just to avoid escalation. But this is a dangerous game that the West may regret. Moscow is making it clear that its patience is running out, not willing to tolerate any more enemy provocations.
MORE ON THE TOPIC:
oh, another nonsense. it was decided 20 years ago that russia would be a bogeyman and a target of war. when they said ukraine will not be provided with weapons, just helmets and vests, weapons were already there. when they claimed only “defensive” weapons like small arms will be sent, tanks were on the way. when they claimed tanks will be deployed only in limited numbers, f16 were on the way. when they said only short range missiles will be delivered, long range nukes were on the way.
it is well known strategy dubbed boiling the frog. russia is even more stupid then a frog.
and i really like the idea how putin will be “surprised” again when nato will use long range missiles, killing russian civilians by thousands. in the best scenario they will “only” target moscow gatherings like crocus hall, killing 1000 people each strike. in the worst case scenario they will target nuclear power plants, killing 10.000 and displace millions. surprise surprise. the same “partners” who “betrayed” putin with the minsk agreements and blowed up nord stream
but you won’t be surprised to know who they are, no doubt. since your represent them imo but you’d be as dense as z.
typical yank, can’t spell worth beans. it’s ‘than’, you moron……
me and him knows better.
you’re the moron if you think you’re fooling anyone.
what’s your verdict today, sherlock? is it one or two posters running about?
you are.just plain ridiculous imo beyond belief.
1t’s well known that the ‘uk’ elite are moron’s.
the normans – who make up the bulk of the uk elite, have always been morons – even before they left norway to fight in the crusades for the pope.
the plantagenet family, through changing names and marriage run the house of lords and rule own the corporation trading as the city of london imo. they’re the firm.
what, no pope today?
btw the blonde hair blue eyed genetic mutation occurred in persia aka iran they moved to cooler climates the middle east was too dangerous for their mutation to stay there they’re aryans. the first pharoahs arrived suddenly as two blonde haired tall blue eyed.
no they aren’t they fooled you or did they buy you off?
that makes no sense whatsoever but no need to color me surprised.
street urchins elevated to bully pulpits.
can’t keep a government together and take care of it’s woke, migrant infested society but wants nuclear war with russia.
of course global elites want nuclear war. that’s why they depopulate their countries, castrating their children, bringing illegal rapist, destroying industry and waging wars on so many fronts. they don’t want people. they hate them. they want them to be dead. how many nuclear shelters were built or how many gas masks has army for civilians in the west ? zero. why they created covid in the biolabs and rigged vaccines ? because they hate people, automation and ai will serve them better.
they hate people like you.. allegedly. they’re the most two faced on earth.
oh for god’s sake snap out of it.! they aren’t building mega cities and clearing forests and implementing entire framework of globalism to down size the population. wake up. stop being a sucker
are you dumb? do you know anything but how to regurgitate pure anti establishment crap. intended to facilitate the transition to the new world order ?
the british stale crust belong in a diiorama at the british museum as yet another native species on their way to extinction.
the gone to seed island monkeys on damp and dirty bankrupt pirate rock and their sundry idiot imported hatchet wielding and spear chuckers are crying out to be erased from this planet. russia would be doing thes simian creatures a favor by putting them down like rabid dogs.
omg the russian army in ww2 especially, after enslavement under alleged communism, were the most feared on earth except perhaps the japanese cannibal s. they were monstrous the crimes they committed were horrendous but the russkies seemed to sort of win so they’re heroes.
they already nuked that ammo depot, so what restrictions are left?
i wouldn’t want to live next door to mr lammy. would you? when the russian admin have enough missiles to go round, they may just waste a few taking out nato wasters in blighty who think they can gob off and then hide from advanced russian tech. the chicken hawks might just buy the farm.
what former colony is that clown from, anyway?
the brainwashed military jerk hails from a nato colony and he thinks waging aggressive war is the answer to everything. this was a crime at nuremberg.
he’s trying so hard to be british that he exaggerates their stupidity, hoping it’ll smooth his entry into the upper echelons of stupid.
here is my prediction for the little island in the north sea. they will continue to attack russia through the hands of ukraine and one day the russians had enough and want to make example to the world. but they don’t want to kill everyone in a global nuclear war so it’s just going to be britain that will be nuked isolated in the north sea the fallout for other countries will be minimal. britain which has been a stain on this planet for millennia will be washed away.
i can see the headlines now, sacrificing britain for the good of mankind.
it will be the city that is divided into 3. they follow the bible be warned. they hate hypocrites liars ( and all liars go to hell) they will follow the script. be warned. wake up.
ook ook. eek eek. neo nazis in ukraine hate blacks. does this british monkey realize that?
one ugly monkey downvoted but you are totally right
the funny part is that ukraine will be flooded with low iq africans and terrorists from the middle east under the guise of helping refugees. that is what the eu has planned for ukraine. maybe this will wash the nazi gene pool. knowing a large majority of ukraine neo nazi men have been killed and now their wives will mate with africans.
they hate jews too but anyone who keeps the cash register ching-a-chinging they’ll tolerate for a while.
like i said, the uk is that woman in her late 40s nobody wants to fuck, she still thinks she is in her prime and constantly complains where have all the good men gone. uk is a pathetic country these days, a far cry from its former glory.
nutshell 101 western rome fell after christianity destroyed the viciousness of its bloodthirsty morality summed up in its saturday saturn day fun family day out watching people hack each other to death, so then constantine became istanbul, so west went to venice set up world trade centre there to compete against istanbul. it got mouldy, full of damp which causes cancer, so they moved to london set it up to become the next greatest empire the world has ever seen. the romans did it. not the pom.
and thd original blonde haired blue eyed roman greecuan gods were iranians the swizz the english rose, danes scandinavians etc all are iranian stock even when they don’t know it, cause basically they don’t know jack full stop just crap.
it was that way since 1991, ukraine the pariah state, until the kagans’ full spectrum dominance gang finally figured out it was at least good for cannon fodder and a place to illegally put some neonazi western pariahs in charge.
united kingdom one world government.
relatives of people who have lived under british occupation and have been colonized by britain are lobbying for britain to be wiped off the face of our planet.
certainly they’re not singing a song of sixpence blackbirds in a pie in africa anymore now they’re being governed by the sons of swizz females
could very well be a freudian slip of their subconscious.
coon tether uk foreign secretary david lammy (code name: the king’s gorilla) would be beaten to death by the white supremacists of the following organizations: wehrmacht aidar, kraken, wolfsangel (aka azov), waffen ss nachtigall (who are now in kursk killings civilians), leibstandarte adolf hitler, right sektor – all of them hate untermensch apes niggas like him, and all of them are leading the ukrainian government and military. all of them funded by the uk tax pounds payers.
putin could have avoided all this by going in in 2014 when the americans and eu supported the cia coup in the ukraine. by constantly choosing the path of appeasement and supplication to the west russia invited all of this (((western))) aggression.
they should consign that clown to the lobby, as a hat checker along with bojo the bozo.
the crown is the source of all this zionist evil
britain’s answer to idi amin.
britain previously had men of substance as foreign secretaries. serious diplomats, polished and dignified gentlemen. palmerston/ macmillan/ eden/ lord carrington, amongst others. and now we have this national embarrassment and big tub of lard lammy.
it’s not just looney lamey lammy. the whole kit and kaboodle was dredged up from some dank basement on the bank of the thames and subject to frequent flooding. mostly they scraped the crevices for leadership candidates after pumping the waters out until the next flood and election cycle comes around.
