The UK Is Getting Dangerously Close to Full-Scale War With Russia
Fresh reports confirm that a theory proposed last month is being put into practice: the British state, even more than United States neocons, wants to escalate to full-scale war with Russia and seems to be achieving its aim. This is something the entire world should be deeply concerned about.
In a September 18 video analysis, The Duran reported that British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is pursuing a policy of launching long-range missile strikes into Russia, despite the advice of his own Foreign Office – and that of a former U.K. national security adviser.

Both Johnson and Shapps are “urging the U.K. and U.S. to let
