Mad Vlad didn’t need another reason to “burn down Britain”, but nevertheless he found one in the newly appointed Archbishop of Canterbury. Last week it was announced that Dame Sarah Mullally will be the first female Archbishop of Canterbury in the history of the Church of England.
But that was no reason for Russia to celebrate, with senior state television presenter, Vladimir Solovyov, going on air for his latest anti-Brit rant. According to him, the historic move was a cause to “burn” the country.
He also branded us a “satanic island”. In his propagandist rant, where he and seven other presenters debated on whether the Kremlin should target the rest of Europe, he detailed his reasoning behind unleashing fire on the island.

Solovyov said: “We have an excellent reason to burn down Britain. The king is their head, but formally the highest position within their church is not occupied by a woman, for the first time ever”.
Seemingly disgusted, he continued: “Down with the satanic island”. Looking to his colleagues, the presenter sought their more-than-willing approval.
It appears appointing a woman in a leadership position is enough to rattle the senior Russian officials, as they appeared to doubt their plan of action. Another presenter, retired army general Evgeny Buzhinsky, added: “Yes I also think so.

“For some reason everyone is fixated on Estonia as the next target of attack of a treacherous and aggressive President Putin, or Latvia, or Lithuania.
“What for? Who needs these dwarves? What’s there to attack?”
Following this, an almost-compliment was uttered. The presenter added: “If we’re going to strike, we should strike the countries that are playing a significant part in the confrontation with Russia. I’m talking about Europeans”.
The “significant part” in question could be the “range of economic, humanitarian and defensive military assistance to Ukraine, and [the] imposing additional sanctions on Russia and Belarus”, according to the Government website.

But Russian threats to the UK is becoming something of a commonplace, with Putin’s right-hand-man previously threatening to bomb the nation. Senator and war veteran, Dmitry Rogozin, has issued a chilling warning that numerous British defence-related sites could be targeted, with over 20 locations across the UK potentially at risk.
The former deputy premier and head of the space agency has shared a map pinpointing 23 defence sites as part of Russia’s latest ominous warning. The identified locations include both military and industrial sites spread across all four nations of the UK.

Rogozin sourced the map from the UK government’s policy document titled “Defence Industrial Strategy 2025: Making Defence an Engine for Growth”.
As expected, Kremlin-scripted propagandist Solovyov also weighed in, stating: “Dmitry Rogozin today posted a reminder of targets in Britain that could be destroyed first. The idiots will get what’s coming to them, they’ll just get what’s coming to them”.
