Spy vs Spy: Come On Britain Let’s Hit Russia Where It Hurts

Read Time:1 Minute, 54 Second

by Neil Bamforth

Well now, former spies of Russian origin get assassinated on British soil for, apparently, betraying Russia via spying for the west. Not entirely a surprising outcome really you would think. A nerve agent is used in one case – naughty Russia! Could have killed innocents! – and Britain expels supposed diplomats who are actually spies.

Russia then expels British diplomats in retaliation.

The England bit of Britain now may or may not go to the soccer World Cup – that’s the biggest sporting event on the planet that America didn’t qualify for 😜

Given England’s penchant for not winning the World Cup or, indeed, remaining in the tournament much beyond the group stages, I doubt anyone will notice overmuch if we do boycott it.

In the meantime, Prime Minister Theresa May has given Russia a very stern telling off to which the Russians have responded with a kind of state raspberry.

France and the USA have voiced support for Britain and I think I heard that Germany was making support noises.

The thing is.

So what?

I hate to admit it but, seriously, why should Russia give a fig for what anyone says?

Putin openly admitted the one thing he would never forgive was a betrayal.

The deceased and hospitalised spies, in Russian eyes, betrayed Russia.

One plus one does indeed equal two.

The only possible way of hurting Russia for behaving like this – short of a nuclear holocaust which would finish everyone off – is money.

Several Russian oligarchs live in London and, it could be said, own quite a few bits of London.

Now, rumor has it, Putin has used a number of people to ferret away billions in lieu of his retirement. Money was stolen from the Russian people.

Apparently, some little known Russian musician popped up somewhere in South America a while back with several million dollars of Putin’s – allegedly.

That’s how to hurt The Kremlin.

Hit them in the pocket.

We can too. Confiscate wealth and property suspected of being connected to money laundering.

Boycott the World Cup? Give them a strong telling off? Expel a few diplomats/spies?

All you get is a Russian raspberry.

Hit em in the pocket.

Then they’ll keep their nerve agents and assassins at home.

Come on Britain. Hit em where it hurts!

Nobody seriously fucks with Putin. It’s not a healthy thing to do.

Britain can seriously fuck with him….and should.

We must never back down.

Good idea and use the money to wage an internet war – against which they will retaliate and the lights will go out in London and the markets will crash and power plants melt down.

And then. . .

Er….oh…..erm….forgot about that…oops?

Mind you, Putin’s a bloody careless dictator. He banned his chief opponent from standing against him in their election and still only got 75% of the vote.

Amateur!! 😂😂
