British Army Chief of Staff: Russia Threats More Than "Islamic" Terrorism

Russia is reacting to a statement by the British Army Chief of Staff Nick Carter, which he made in an interview with Telegraph. According to the general of the British armed forces, Russia is a more serious threat to the United Kingdom than Islamists from terrorist structures.



Nick Carter said that earlier in Britain it was "Islamic" terrorism that was considered the number one threat, but then "the Skripals were attacked in Salisbury, and it became clear that Russia is much more dangerous than Islamic terrorists."

Carter:

Moscow uses a variety of instruments of power, sometimes "gray-scale" actions.

The British Army Chief of Staff added that such actions by Russia are detrimental to British interests. At the same time, apart from the case with the Skripals, which still smacks of a fair amount of provocation, Carter did not name where exactly Russia is using "instruments of force" in such a way that it threatens the interests of the British crown.

In response to Nick Carter's statements, experts in Russia note that a British high-ranking serviceman is actually making it clear that terrorism could be controlled by Western intelligence services. An example is the feeding of terrorist organizations in Syria, which has been actively used and continues to be used against the government forces of the republic. It is also noted that Carter remembered the incident in Salisbury, but for some reason did not say a word about what is with the Skripal family now, what condition is the father of the family and his daughter, whom Russia allegedly "poisoned" with Novichok.

Based on the statements of the British general, we can conclude that Britain, perceiving Russia as the main "threat", is going to confront our country militarily. We will remind that a few days ago it became known that the British are going to create a new military base in Germany "in case of a war with Russia." In London, they announced that from this base it would be possible to quickly transfer troops to the Baltic States and Poland.

      In my opinion, this is the next candidate for a jump from a window of some floor, shouting: "Russian terrorists in London"! But only the adjutants hold back for wet trousers ...

      The Islamists are not rivals to the British. Winning is not a victory, but it seems that they have taken the lead.

        Does this attavism of the British Empire have an army? The same "thin red line" that kept half the world under control? Well, everything is already. Stop suffering phantom pain in amputated limbs! Otherwise, the leftovers will fall off. Scotland, Northern Ireland ... Islamic radicals will seize power in London!

    The Anglo-Saxons have always posed a mortal threat to the world. They should have been under the roots of lime long ago and not be allowed to dictate conditions to the world again.

      Napoleon ran along the banks of the English Channel -)) and Hitler did not even dare to take Gibraltar ..
      And this is just England! And the United States is completely overseas. As it is said in Revelation - "... I sit as a queen, I am not a widow, and I will not see sorrow ..."
      ----------------------
      England knocked China out of history by as much as 150 years. And this is when China surpassed England in terms of GDP 12 times. 1842. England destroyed Germany as a power .. and so on, etc., etc.
      ---------------
      I think .. that laughter is useless here .. England is a terrible and dangerous enemy. Moreover .. that England and the entire Anglo-Saxon camp are a single whole .. 33 million square kilometers and 500 million population .. etc.

    Something England has become more active. She began to match the hairstyles of her prime minister Borys. In addition to the old-fashioned Russophobia against Russia, she climbed into the APR against China, and again became active in Europe. I decided to raise my status to catch up with the trinity, and show who is in charge in Europe.

    Here it is in all its glory, British hatred for everything Russian and Russia in particular, and most importantly loudly, pathetic and condescending. Interestingly, at the same time, he had a cork helmet on his head, as befits a white colonizer, who does not consider anyone other than the Anglo-Saxons to be people? It remains only to wish this "white man" that he once again (the terrorist attacks in London) convinced himself on his own skin who is more terrible and more dangerous. It is useless to negotiate with these about something.

    The British never had any deposits of minerals or metals on their island. Only coal.
    All their former prosperity is due to piracy, robbery, robbery, exploitation of the colonies. Through intrigue and multiple moves.
    Now is just the moment of exacerbation, our resources are not enough ...

      Moreover, there are several small "states" where the Queen is in theory decided to free themselves from her rule. In "Great Britain" they got worried, the outskirts are already separating, and then what will happen? )))

          ... that is why they let all the private owners of Siberian mineral resources into London. They don't fucking need Siberia. And the population of Siberia does not own anything that was created under Soviet rule.

              Lord Baron Siberian Lebedev

              The regiment of members of the "Senate" of the United Kingdom - the House of Lords - has arrived. Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain granted the title of Baron for Life to Yevgeny Lebedev, a businessman and son of another prominent Russian businessman Alexander Lebedev.
              The full title of Evgeny Lebedev sounds like "Baron Hampton in London's Rind-upon-Thames and Siberia in the Russian Federation".

              Along with the title, the newly made Baron Lebedev also received a peerage - the right to sit in the upper house of the British Parliament from the very first day the title was bestowed, that is, from November 19.

              In addition to Her Majesty, his father, who owns the British editions The Evening Standard and The Independent, as well as the London Live television channel, indirectly helped Yevgeny Lebedev to become a peer. They jointly invested about £ 75 million in the British economy, and the British crown considered this sufficient reason for Lebedev Jr. to become the 786th member of the House of Lords.

                Well, yes! The merits of investing in media, environmental protection, charity are British ... but where else to invest? Not into the Russian environment and industry, right? Although it was in Novaya Gazeta.
                Somehow the British were not embarrassed by the past of their father, an employee of the former KGB

      Even before our era, the ancient Greek Pytheas (380-310 centuries BC) sailed to Britain, from where tin ore came to the Mediterranean at that time. It looks like all of it has since been transported.

    Gloomy rainy weather contributes to winter aggravations for gentlemen. Asho, what can you do, the golf club is closed for the winter. The putting greens need to be refurbished, and the whiskey by the fireplace will help raise the spirit of the baevog after reading Tennessee's poems about the attack of the light cavalry brigade ...
