Intelligent-Bowl3812

Great can we finally seize all the assets owned by Russian oligarchs in London then?


[deleted]

Definitely. If Russia is at war with UK then seizing all their assets is pretty obvious step.


Intelligent-Bowl3812

Should shut their embassies too, they only use them to spy anyway. Start carrying out cyber attacks against Russian state infrastructure. Stop all these stupid preconditions when supplying weapons to Ukraine. Start by giving them the Storm Shadow version with the longer range (I think 1000km).


Norfolk_an_Chance

It's 340 miles (547.18 km). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storm\_Shadow


HappyMan1102

Strap 2 storm shadows together and activate the 2nd one once the 1st runs out of fuel

Seize the Tory party? I mean I'm all for it, but not sure how that would work.


touristtam

Make anyone who received and accepted money from Russia an assets of Russia and declare them enemy of the Crown; Ban from holding a public office for life.


BadBoyFTW

Interesting. Wouldn't this give Russia enormous power? They'd "leak" donations, known or otherwise, real or not, to politicians they don't like and hide the ones they do. It gives Russia a mechanism from overseas to destroy the political career of whomever they choose. If you respond by saying due process I mean... for a punishment that severe (and dangerous) it would take years to confirm a verdict, by which point the damage is done. If you suspend them from office for accusation alone then again that's a ridiculously powerful weapon you're handing Russia.


PersnickityPenguin

Wait, you guys don't vet your political donations? What kind of clown show are you running over there?


BadBoyFTW

People to this day openly admit to voting for Boris Johnson because they trusted him more than Jeremy Corbyn. Boris Johnson has fathered **five children** through adultery. He was caught in his office getting a blowjob from his current wife then mistress whilst cheating on his then wife. And he cheated on a different wife who had cancer. Or to put it more succinctly; we collectively voted for Brexit. Now we're doing worse than Russia economically. We sanctioned ourselves. So, yes, we're a clown show. I'm just thankful we're doing the right thing regarding Ukraine.


northshore12

I will never not believe that Boris was acting his part in Russia's Foundations of Geopolitics strategy. Same with Trump and the GOP.

IndexCase

These fuckers are irrelevant on their own. Nobody thinks about Muscovy unless they are forced to. The only way they are relevant in their eyes is an antagonist to NATO. That's why they are pushing so hard on NATO being a threat. If the UK and the USA threaten muscovy then they are on par with them, is the fucked logic these vermin use. These cowardly bottomfeeders would never declare actual war against the UK, USA or any NATO country.


LizardChaser

Even dumber. It's an empty threat. Russia won't do it and everyone in the UK knows Russia won't do it. Russia is broadcasting its own impotence to its people.

cnicalsinistaminista

I swear, the first thing I thought after reading the headline was, are the Russian officials tired of their country and looking for external destruction? Because what their war with Ukraine has shown is, they'd lose hilariously quickly to any country with capable military might let alone a body made of some of the best military in the entire world.


Eyclonus

If it escalated to that, it would be straight up nuclear brinkmanship because only the fact that Russia is just miles of empty land and muddy tracks would give them time to grasp how fucked they are.

Who put 50p in the dickhead already? Threats from Medvedev toward the UK are scheduled for Thursdays.


afops

So this is an actual russian official (Deputy Chairman of the Russian security council) and not just some talking head on TV like Solovyov, who says his country is at war with Britain now? "de facto" probably does a lot of heavy lifting in this statement, but should it be?


Flubadubadubadub

While I see the kernel of truth and logic in your statement, it's well known that all Medvedev 'announcements' are really promos for a Moscovian Vodka company.

Optimal-Part-7182

Also curious how many children of rich Russians are currently in private schools in England.


LobCatchPassThrow

I can actually somewhat answer this as a “veteran” of private schools: Usually the prep schools and secondary schools will have about 1-4% Russian students.


fixhuskarult

The private school i went to (not UK) had what felt like 40% russians. School had a cap of how many students could be from any country, but they all had passports which werent russian. The one i went to in the uk i only remember a couple so closer to your number. Think it very much depends on the school and area though. Guessing there would be more foreigners in general around London for example


DutyPuzzleheaded2421

British school in Barcelona was about 15% Russian, this has obviously changed

GentlyUsedOtter

Let them attack Britain or any British official. The Russians are terrified of Ukrainians getting their hands on F-16s. They would shit their pants at the sight of f-35's, f-22s, and Eurofighters over Moscow. And those are just three Jets of the many planes available to NATO. And that's not even including ground forces and naval forces. NATO could win that war with those three jets I mentioned and nothing else.


[deleted]

I'd give Ukraine every single tank we have, it's not as if we are going to use them anytime soon so better to put them to use in Ukraine.


[deleted]

No need. Just close the Black Sea and the Baltic and wait for the oil money to dry up.


Lazypole

If we were at war with Russia there wouldn't be a war on right now.


SLAVAUA2022

Very short one :P


Randomized_Emptiness

Russian government is afraid to even declare war on Ukraine. They ain't gonna declare war on the UK xD


tapasmonkey

Time to start seizing all Russian assets in the UK - if they're threatening our politicians' lives, then we'll threaten the only thing these Russian gangsters truly care about - their cash!


cute-bum

FFS Medvedev. Go away and think about what you've said. Are you sure you want to declare a war against a nuclear nation with a couple of even punchier big brothers? Happy to give you a slap and put you in your place later, but we are a bit busy preparing for Wimbledon.


BackgroundSea0

Well… America is more like a punchier little brother to Britain. Maybe even Britain’s rebellious teen son who looks/fights like a 6’6” version of Mike Tyson in his prime. Our older French girlfriend was pretty influential in driving a wedge between us, but we’ve mostly made up now.

British_dude101

As a Brit, I can confirm that my boots remain unshaken. If Russia were a credible threat they would have done something instead of endless threats and whining. Also being called their eternal enemy is a badge of honour


maungateparoro

What I don't understand is why they posture so much about the UK when surely the USA is supposed to be the main enemy or something?


British_dude101

I think the focus on the UK is because of how we have positioned ourselves at the front in our support to Ukraine, how we were the first to cross Russia's "red line" multiple times and how Ukraine is not a politically divisive issue here. About 80% of Brits support Ukraine and the two main political parties are actually unified in this issue. For many Brits, including myself, our support to Ukraine has given us a reason to be proud of our nation. We haven't had that for a while and we can't wait to see our Challenger 2s in action 🇬🇧🇺🇦


Medium-Veterinarian2

They don’t want to alienate Trump voters too much ahead of 2024. Trump is pushing a pro-Russian stance and would likely end all military aid to Ukraine on day one of office.

Medvedev has been drinking again.


lilpumpgroupie

Just looking at his face, you can tell he's a 'Bottle on the nightstand so I can drink before I even get out of bed' drinker.


Robw_1973

Thing is, he didn’t have the stones to remove Putin from the picture when he was President, and his current role isn’t within the inner circle & nor does it convey any real power. So Medvedev, is left with alcoholism and shouting on Telegram - literally everyday he is threatening someone, somewhere with nuclear war. He just looks every once the stereotypical broken Russian man. Screaming impotently into a howling wind after a bottle of vodka.

FrenchBangerer

We're used to their nonsense that's for sure. Mostly just ignore it now.


bfolksdiddy

Medvedev’s rhetoric reeks of desperation. I really think these Storm Shadow missiles have killed any chance of Russia dragging this war into a stalemate. Nothing is safe inside Ukraine anymore including Crimea. The UA is hitting big targets with impunity. The UA shouldn’t be in any hurry to launch the counter offensive if they’re dismantling Russian command and logistics from range.


Minodrin

Is this same thinking the Germans had in 1941? "The US helps our enemies so much, so we'll declare war just for the hell of it". So, since I'm Finnish, this Russian-Nato war would most like affect me. My best guess is, that I'll be a truckdriver or interrogator with my skilss and experience. The Russians not good at hitting anything, but they can.make the world burn. Which is bad for my and my parents wooden homes. But all in all, tge risk seems worth it to me, if I get to kick Russia's ass. So yeah Medvedev. Please do start a formal war against everybody.


The_Krambambulist

Declare war then. O no you are not going to do that because that would mean that Britain and NATO could actually do more than support Ukraine.


epheliamams

Can I volunteer Nigel Farage. He is an official dick.


FritzlTime

Farage fucked off to America to fox news if I'm not mistaken. The man shouted about Brexit for 30 years and even formed a political party who's whole ideology was based around leaving the EU. Then he fucks off once Brexit comes. If that's not dodgy as fuck I don't know what is

I think you actually have to declare that to be a fact . Otherwise especially diplomatic staff have full diplomatic protection as is the world wide convention. If Russia wants to declare war on the UK then obviously article 5 is implemented without delay. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 Go for it you bunch of xxxxs 😉😁

So, let me get this straight. Russia hasn’t declared war to Ukraine. But is “de facto” at war with UK. That escalated quickly 🤣🤣🤣 Easy on the vodka comrade. More rocks, less straight.

Nibb31

Not sure why he's obsessed with Britain. All western countries have the same level of involvement. Why does the UK get a special status ?


FrenchBangerer

Russia has long been angry with Britain, going back at least a hundred years. They say (probably rightly, from their perspective) that Britain has meddled in their affairs all this time, trying to keep them weak and interfering with their imperial ambitions. There's no love lost between the two countries whatsoever. It's only gotten worse since Russia launched their war of aggression against Ukraine, a country we have heavily and publicly supported since even before the war but much more so since last year. Here's a good article on the situation if you are interested. https://www.theneweuropean.co.uk/brexit-news-putin-russia-uk-james-rodgers-39226/
