The war

 


Despite heavy losses, Russia presses on in Ukraine. And in a fit of retaliation, Russian media have reported the threat of a nuclear tsunami for the British Isles (that includes Ireland). 

“The explosion of this thermonuclear torpedo by Britain’s coastline will cause a gigantic tsunami wave. Having passed over the British Isles, it will turn whatever might be left of them into a radioactive wasteland.”

The comments came in response to calls by PM Boris Johnson and FS Liz Truss to boost western military aid for Ukraine to help the country defend itself against Russia’s offensive. Not that they themselves have done much to help since the conflict started in February. No, just a visit to Kyiv for publicity photos for Boris the spider.
