The UK continues to fight the Crimean WarArchived Message

We know that Defence Minister Ben Wallace has boasted that the UK will kick Putin's arse just as "we" did, he claims, to Tsar Nicholas in the Crimean War, so now the UK is pressing to supply longer range missiles to attack Russian positions in Crimea. Up to now, even the Americans have resiled from doing this.
But of course there'd be no control over them when in Ukraine and they equally could be used to inflict death and destruction in the Russia itself. There's a degree of mindless bellicosity in the UK leadership, and I include Starmer's coterie and the media, that should stagger any thinking person, and chill them to the marrow. If this does lead to wider conflict, we can at least be reassured that we have a very effective and stunningly beautiful cavalry, as paraded during the Coronation, to come to the country's aid, as they did against Tsar Nicholas - perhaps that was what Ben Wallace was thinking of all along, how prescient.
