Lots of bluster from UK government but it’s mostly performative. Much of the British right wing are up in arms about Putin when he largely shares the same politics as them – it’s definitely a spectacle.

I did some searching the other day after noticing odd commentary and voting patterns from the same users in thread after thread.
