What if Russia suddenly announced that its Baltic Fleet had dispatched an armada towards Britain? Would most people greet the news with steely resolve in the knowledge that their governments would know what to do, or would constant Kremlin-influenced reports about the incompetence of British institutions make them conclude that any resistance was pointless?
Itās a strange article, with your āRussia always bad and doing evilā attitude. She also seems happy for our governments to use propaganda lies on us, so we are more compliant. Sheās part of the Atlantic Council that advise NATO.
Now, is he spouting off because the Tories are no longer in power or does he have a point?
