This week, RT also looked at two dramatically different elections in Russia and Germany, and a suspicious Ukrainian corruption case
Britain turns up the war rhetoric
Anyone paying the slightest attention to the news this week could be convinced that the UK is preparing for a direct and imminent war with Russia. Retired generals are telling the public to get “psychologically prepared” for conflict; Labour Party thought leaders are suggesting that dissidents and Russia sympathizers be “locked up;” and former Brexit Minister Jacob Rees-Mogg is openly telling British men and women that they “may have to die” – right after calling the English a “mongrel race” with no historic claim to their own homeland.
Meanwhile, Sky News premiered the first episode of ‘The Wargame’ on Monday – a bizarre reality show in which real politicians and military chiefs game out a hypothetical Russian invasion for the cameras.
With the threat from Russia rising in the real world, a new series from Sky brings together former ministers and military chiefs to test what might happen if the UK faced an attack.

“Britain’s elites,” RT columnist Tarik Cyril Amar concluded, “want you ready to die for a war they keep imagining.”
Talking heads on the continent were equally hysterical, with Spain’s El Mundo claiming that Russia could launch drones at France, Italy, or Spain from ships in the Mediterranean. The fact that the report cited Lithuania’s fanatically anti-Russian government – which in turn cited the CIA – should have been the first sign something was amiss.
