What Mq says is based on a large body of posts over many years She wasn't PM until well in to this year, not for many years. I doubt he was making a specific case for her wanting nuclear war until at least when she was a serious candidate. Everyone knows that Liz is a Russia hater. What "everyone knows" isn't always true. More importantly, "hates Russia" is very different than "want's nuclear war". The UK is accused of blowing up NordStream So was the US, Russia, even the Baltics and Poland and Ukraine. Accusations are easy but don't mean much without real evidence. Also "blew up Nordstream" != "want's nuclear war". and she was fired a month afterwards. Quite likely, there is a connection. That's just bizarre. As for sanctions. Agreed they work both ways, but they hit Russia harder. That even including Russia's retaliation, much more sore if your just talking about the sanctions packages that the UK signed on to. No, not up to a point. Its all, or almost all, on Putin. Russia's objection were mostly at least borderline bullshit, and to limited extent they were not, were not properly Russia's business to control, and his invasions in 2014 and esp. this year acted against those stated interests. Before that Russia's history of bullying its neighbors (esp. as the main part of the Soviet Union but also after that) also contributed to that negative reaction to Russia, and to the reasonable desire to seek security against it. Putin could have had greater prosperity and a stronger more secure Russia, but his own actions caused more problems along those lines than benefits.
