Although Putin seems to have the patience of Job, Russia has suffered far too much in its Ukrainian Borderlands to allow the British carry on with their deadly farce.

Sir Keir Starmer’s plans for a 1000 year Ukrainian Reich, explained here by the British Foreign Office and here by MI6’s BBC outlet, deserves some consideration, even though it is so obviously idiotic.
Starmer, in short, is talking about creating, on the cheap, another Third Reich with a touch of the British Raj, with a “whopping” £100m going on lifesaving humanitarian funding, and “unlocking millions in private lending to increase growth and trade” and bankrupt Britain agreeing to “transfer at least $3.6 billion in military aid” to Ukraine annually, with Starmer thereby giving Ukraine the necessary support “to put it in the strongest position to fight Russia in 2025.”
Excellent! Jolly good show! Release the fox and tallyho. Rule Britannia, roll on the 2025 Proms, and pack up your troubles in your old kit bag, and smile, smile, smile.
Not that there is anything to smile about “to fight Russia in 2025” and especially beyond, as a short British blitzkrieg will not work. Not only are the days of the British Raj lost and gone forever but so too are the industries, textiles, linen and shipbuilding in the main, that made Britain great. Great hallmarks of British quality like Sheffield Steel are no more and we will never witness sites like that which greeted the future Queen Elizabeth when she first inspected her father’s fleet in 1937 at Portsmouth Harbour.
Not only does Britannia no longer rule the waves, but she seems like an old nag on her last legs. If we look at Albion’s ten biggest exporting industries, her ten biggest industries by revenue, or the nine biggest industries where Britain supposedly leads the world, we see no mention of the likes of Sheffield Steel or the Clydeside shipbuilders, but only talk of Harry Potter and how the royalties from the Beatles’ successes still jingle on.
No offence to Harry Potter but not even his magical powers will stop Russia obliterating any British expeditionary force in Ukraine and, as for trying to compete with China, forget about it, no matter how many British pensioners Starmer intends to bankrupt or freeze to death to make Britain great again.
Outside of hosting Wimbledon and the English Premier League to allow foreign owners and players indulge themselves, it is hard to see what else beyond the City of London Albion can bring to the party. Although it was a City maxim that the money was raised in Japan, the technology was innovated in the United States and the deal was done in London, China has usurped all those areas. If the City thinks it can outsmart China by getting rabid Lithuania and Kaja Kallas’ poisoned dwarf rump state of Estonia onboard, then the City lads are snorting far too much Colombian coke.
Before returning to the City, a detour into Hitler’s proposed 1000 year Reich is in order. When the Wehrmacht and their Banderite allies swept into Russia’s Borderlands, wise heads in Berlin genuinely believed that a new economic order, anchored in Germany’s strong industrial base, was possible. But no such European system is now possible because Europe, Germany and Britain included, has destroyed the Russian energy link that could have made such a system feasible.
As regards bankrupting Russia, forget about that too as, if Russia were to lease its main gold mines out to China until 2030, that would more than adequately cover all of Russia’s war bills, and leave plenty over for military research and development as well.
Such a short term lease brings us back to England’s fair and pleasant land, whose naval and industrial prowess, as adumbrated above, allowed it enjoy superlative economic rents for 300 and more years. But those days are gone, not only for Britain but for nigh on everyone else as well. America is the new Rule Britannia and whether Trump’s own selfish skulduggery will suffice to keep the American hare ahead of the Chinese hounds at bay remains to be seen.
But one thing can be predicted with certainty. No matter what happens in Ukraine or anywhere else, even more so than with Suez in 1956, the Brits and the French, Africa’s favourite gendarmes, barely warrant walk on parts in what will unfold and NATO’s media, in so much as they are encouraging fools like Starmer in his folly, should be muzzled as they put the lives of British service men and women, and much more besides, at risk.
Although Putin seems to have the patience of Job, Russia has suffered far too much in its Ukrainian Borderlands to allow the British carry on with their deadly farce. Putin, Lavrov and Zakharova should tell Trump and whatever other adults are in NATO’s corner that pipsqueak nations like Britain, France, Poland, Lithuania and Estonia must stop throwing shapes and that any 100 or 1000 year long Reich they choose to establish in Kiev or anywhere else will have a shorter and bloodier end than did that Hitler and his fellow lunatics tried to establish the guts of 80 or so years ago.
