The omnipotence of the UK in the Russian mind would make the most ardent British patriot blush.
Russia has always been more feverishly deranged in its propaganda about the UK. Countless times I’ve read or heard about how it was Britain’s machinations that led to this or that “Russophobic” event occurring. Even the Great Satan, the US, is ultimately just a pawn of Westminster. The dastardly “Anglo-Saxon” axis rotates not around Washington, but London!
Basically it’s the swole doge vs fat Cheems meme where it’s Russia’s perception of the UK’s footprint in geopolitics and strategy vs the reality. Find you someone that looks at you the way Russia looks at Britain.

Woke: the Cold War never ended
Bespoke: the Great Game never ended

I always wonder if this is deep stuff – Sidney Reilly or the Great Game or the Crimean War or if this is “watched too many James Bond movies”
