Flip it around. Britain sponsors attacks on Putin’s personal residence. On what planet are he and his supporters not waving nukes around?

It’s a hypothetical.

I realized too late. I mistook you for a tankie, apologies!

Ukraine attacked the Kremlin with drones and may have attacked Putin’s personal residence last year (both sides say contradictory things, both sides have every incentive to lie). UK is one of the biggest Ukraine boosters. To pretend there’s not a through line here is absurd

> To pretend there’s not a through line here is absurd

You know what? I’ll accept it. Europe should directly assist Ukraine in targeting Kremlin leadership. If there really is a through line, might as well exploit it.

Russia is at war with Ukraine. Is Russia officially at war with the UK? If so, say it openly, so that we stop dancing around and send troops directly.

> send troops directly

Not even needed. Just send jets to bomb e.g. the Kerch bridge. And start aggressively detaining the shadow fleet.

well one of the leaders of state started the first ground war in Europe in decades, and the other has not. so to me, if this was flipped, it would be more justified (or rather, slightly less unjustified (all violence is bad))
