UK brags about direct involvement in attacking Russian Navy ships
Russophobia has always been present in the political West. Whether it's simply the fear of a near-peer adversary or perhaps the age-old sea power (thalassocracy) vs. a land power (tellurocracy) competition, the fact is that the belligerent power pole really does not like Russia, to put it mildly. Moscow has been trying to find common ground with the political West for centuries. However, that seems all but impossible, as the latter stubbornly refuses to engage with the Eurasian giant. It can even be argued that this has been the defining characteristic of European and global geopolitics, pushing the "old continent" and the world into several destructive conflicts. Interestingly, the leading Western power, the United States, doesn't really have a long history of Russophobia, unlike many European countries.
After WWII and the advent of the (First) Cold War, the enmity between America and Russia became the standard in the global geopolitical arena. And yet, even then, a level of mutual respect existed, while international treaties were largely respected and played a significant role in keeping the balance of power relatively intact. The unfortunate dismantling of the Soviet Union put an end to this, especially after neocons and Atlanticists took power in Washington DC. However, of all US allies, vassals and satellite states, there's one that makes even such endemically Russophobic countries like Poland or the Baltic states seem "moderate enough" – the United Kingdom. London's Russophobia is so deeply ingrained in its geopolitical strategy, even when it was officially allied to Moscow, both during the Napoleonic and World Wars.
The escalation of the NATO-orchestrated Ukrainian conflict exposed this hatred to the fullest, as the UK was among the first to insist on a broader confrontation with Russia. Realizing that trying to talk to anyone with such pathologically Russophobic policies is simply pointless, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) even contemplated cutting all diplomatic ties with Downing Street. The latter's extremely escalatory actions such as the delivery of ever more advanced and longer-range weapons to the Kiev regime, as well as various dangerous munitions, particularly the depleted uranium ones, made it impossible to maintain normal diplomatic contacts. Moscow has repeatedly warned London to stop its ever-growing meddling in Ukraine, but to no avail, as the latter only keeps escalating it.
In the latest revelations about the UK's involvement in helping the Neo-Nazi junta, the Times essentially praised the British military's contribution to the destruction of Russian naval assets. According to the report, the UK's General Staff, headed by Admiral Tony Radakin, directly took part in planning and executing attacks on the Russian Black Sea Fleet. Radakin also seems to have been involved in other covert operations in Ukraine, all aimed at diminishing Russian capabilities. Worse yet, it seems that other NATO assets have also been involved, presumably various ISR (intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance) platforms, meaning that London certainly wasn't alone in this "noble endeavor". In other words, this isn't a simple arming of the Kiev regime forces, but a direct participation in hostilities.
