While Trump has been taunting Kim and inciting North Korea to some kind of action... Has Theresa May also blundered her way into potential conflict with a much more dangerous enemy?
Last Week May accused Russia of meddling in UK elections and referenda. No issues there - they blatantly did it, how effective their campaign was remains to be established but they definitely made an effort to undermine the democratic process. However her wording was extremely antagonistic. Essentially throwing Russia under the bus and badmouthing them to the world in an attempt to disguise how weak her grip on power currently is.

The day before yesterday Putin announced greater military spending. “Our army and navy need to have the very best equipment — better than foreign equivalents,” he said. “If we want to win, we have to be better.” Russian military spending is set to rise to 3.3% of GDP. In response several other countries are increasing their military budgets and NATO is restructuring in response to what it calls 'The Russian Threat'.
Yesterday he made the announcement that all large Russian businesses should be ready to switch to war production if needed.

Has May's open denunciation of Russia and promises to lead a counter to the 'Red Terror' triggered a ramping up of the new Cold War? Did she do this just 'to cover up the whiteness of her tired flesh' as Dmitry Kiselev has said? Has Theresa May's desire to hold onto power overridden sensible diplomatic policy? Or is this just a natural progression of Russia's continued propaganda campaigns to undermine Western democracies and their continuously aggressive and expansionist actions in the Baltic regions?

Is Theresa May just a slightly less orange, slightly more intelligent Trump?

meddling lol
u mean trolling twitter?

it takes intelligence to use persuasive and catchy insults like Trump does, she needs to work on that before you convince me of her intelligence

seems to be a new trend
when you fail miserably at something blame russia

i am used to low standards in politics as a german, but even by these standards theresa may is a pathetic politician

needless to say that its kinda cute for a western politician to talk about "aggression" in foreign policy

Russia propaganda on internet will be stopped, so less idiots will vote for the wrong guy or decision.
I hope something will be done quick, before catalonia elections. Once a virtual war will be declared it will be legitimate to make a second brexit vote; easy.

Trump gonna blame Russia for his failed 4 years in the WH? Strong prediction. I think he will blame the media. Anything but accept responsibility for his actions lol.

Seemed like a pretty standard statement to me. Russia like to throw their weight about and act tough but at the end of the day they've got an economy half the size of the UK or France and their weapons are ancient.

If a few rag tag Western European countries teamed up against Russia in a war we'd 360 noscope them, no US intervention necessary.

How did Russia interfere in UK elections?
