Rishi Sunak is giving Ukraine long-range air weapons. What will Vladimir Putin do?

Last Updated: February 18, 2023By Tags: , , , , , , , , , ,

Rishi Sunak is taking a huge gamble.

He has promised to give Ukraine long-range air defence weapons, along with jet fighter planes, to allow that country to better defend itself from Russian aggression.

And he wants Russia’s warlords to face justice after peace is brought about.

But what kind of peace will we get?

Sunak is gambling that Russian leader Vladimir Putin will not dare to use his nuclear arsenal.

But the easiest way to stop the UK from providing anything to Ukraine is to wipe the UK off the map.

It would be a suicidal strategy for Putin as well, because the UK’s allies would respond. But that would be scant consolation.

And, if you believe Boris Johnson (ha ha!), Putin has already threatened the UK with nuclear reprisals.

So one has to question whether sabre-rattling of the kind that Sunak is doing is really a sane way forward.

Here’s his speech to the Munich Security Conference:

What do you think?

    “Russia has increased the production of Kinzhal hypersonic missile system,” said the head of Rostec, Sergei Chemezov

    “The volumes (of production) have grown significantly, in some cases 50-fold,” said Chemezov.

    Perhaps we will have War Crimes investigation of NATO back in 2014 when they were filmed by an AV shelling the city of Donetsk using the US Paladin system with it’s 126mm shells which Independent journalists were filming and taking photos of the terrible damage NATO shelling did which included anywhere the people could flee to: hospitals, community Centres, Malls, libraries, even the museums.
    The State Duma is now awaiting advisors to submit reports to decide on whether to use their short range or Long range ICBM’s and to follow up the threat against countries responsible for arming Ukraine with missiles that could hit the Russian people in Crimea and behind Russia’s borders.
    If the US intends to deliver depleted Uranium bombs then it will be a nuclear attack & the targets will include EU, UK and of course the main promoter of this war, the US.

    For some reason we have to follow this man until he calls a general election. Although we use a form of democracy…it is FAR from democratic.
