If I'm Russia, I give no fucks about British sanctions, particularly as they've already been doing their worst since 2014 when I invaded Ukraine. They are not on this list. Meanwhile, the UK is no longer the 5th largest economy.

Litovenko is 12 years dead. nothing fucking happened. If I were Putin I'd operate with impunity in the UK, too, especially since they've maintained they fucking matter for decades after they were assed out of relevance.

Geopolitically speaking the UK is a fuckin' province of the United States. Demographically speaking they're California, Oregon and Washington. Theresa May can be as angry as she wants about that but the last time the UK did anything without American approval it was over the fuckin' Falklands.
