In the midst of all that, the proponents of Brexit, and particularly those within Blue Labour, now seek to claim that the sovereignty obtained was significant, after all, because it provides the ability for an independent Britain to act as a bridge between the EU and Trump, as well as allowing Britain to escape the effects of Trump's tariff war against the EU. The British media, also, played a large part in Brexit, by providing a huge megaphone for the likes of Farage, over the preceding twenty years, that was totally out of proportion to the amount of support he had, as seen in his repeated failure, during all of that time, to win a parliamentary seat. No matter how much that media might want to amplify it once more, it is, of course, total nonsense and delusion.
The media have fawned over the role of Starmer, following in the footsteps of Thatcher, replete in his military camouflage, and flanked by soldiers that towered above him, and the claim that Britain was to take a leading role in Europe, in the new drive to war with Russia. And, of course, that encouraged the likes of Glasman to try to rescue his project, following his success in ensuring that Blue Labour continued its role in supporting Zionism and its genocide in Gaza, to find another reason to express his pride in his Prime Minister, as well as leading other Blue Labour Ministers to talk in the most Blimpish and ridiculous terms, threatening Russia with the potential of Britain's nuclear deterrent, should it fire upon British troops in Ukraine!
Of course, the reality is that British troops have been in Ukraine, since near the start of the war, as the leaked US Defence Department papers showed, not as “peacekeepers”, but as active combatants on the side of Ukraine. But, its also an indication of the vile reactionary nature of Blue Labour that not only is it engaged in its obnoxious, racist attacks on migrants, its support for and complicity in, genocide against Palestinians, but now threatens innocent Russian men, women and children with being incinerated with its nuclear weapons! Its no surprise that this reactionary government, now, seeks to attack pensioners, children and young people, the sick and disabled, and to revive the hated Tory scheme for sending migrants to Rwanda, but now to the Balkans instead!
In fact, the threat to respond to any Russian action against British troops in Ukraine, by an immediate use of Britain's nuclear deterrent shows just how impotent Brexit Britain really is. When Argentina was at war with Britain, in the Falklands, in 1982, that did not prompt any threat of a nuclear strike. Britain's threat of nuclear strikes, is a similar kind of empty threat as those used during the Brexit negotiations, of a “No Deal” Brexit, if the EU did not concede to its demands, which would have devastated Britain. The EU did not concede, and, rather, it was Britain that had to comply, whilst trying to present its compliance as being in some way a victory.
If British troops are more overtly stationed in Ukraine, and they are attacked by Russian troops, Britain would have little it could do about it. Today, it would not even be able to have defeated Argentina in the Falklands, let alone beat Russia with conventional weapons. Hence the empty threat of a resort to nuclear weapons. Certainly, a nuclear strike would, as Healey said, cause severe damage to Russia (he didn't of course, admit that what that really means is incinerating millions of innocent Russian civilians), but it would provoke an inevitable retaliatory nuclear strike on Britain, which, with the size of Russia's nuclear arsenal, would reduce it to a smouldering radioactive cinder. Hardly something people in Britain would encourage Starmer and Blue Labour to invite, though it would put them out of their current misery, as Blue Labour engages in even more austerity and attacks on workers to finance its Brexit chaos, and its foreign wars!
