This is a threat against the UK. There was an emergency cobra meeting yesterday that was performed during the labour conference which definitely wouldn't have been planned and it will have been because of this.

They pretended it was about Israel but we all know Labour's position on that so it won't have been it.

yeah I think so as well, the UK have been pushing the most for deep strikes into Russia

[-] aaaaaaadjsf@hexbear.net 28 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah if the UK want to allow Ukraine to use Storm Shadow missiles for long range strikes into Russia, it would require UK military service members to input the targeting information, and UK military satellites to guide the missile. Such an escalation is unacceptable to Russia.

Russia might go after your cypriot bases if your leaders try anything funny

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 2 points 3 weeks ago

US is operating from those bases so it would be interesting if they did.

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
