Healey and the "Amber": The British "Sewer Chief" Meets Russian Deep-Sea Personnel and Immediately Panicked

Instinctively, this British politician knew that any mistake would mean he would have to eat the consequences himself.

There is a Russian proverb: "You can see it, but you can't reach it," which perfectly describes the inner struggle of this contemporary British politician — he always wants to stir up some trouble, but he just doesn't have the ability to do so.

The armed forces of King Charles III of Britain openly show extreme hostility (almost obsessive) toward the Russian Ministry of Defense's Deep Sea Research Directorate (ГУГИ), especially targeting the "Krus" class 22010 type oceanographic survey ship "Amber" («Янтарь»).

The British Secret Intelligence Service (MI-6) has long been notorious for engaging in sabotage activities (often with terrorist nature), and according to common sense, they should have planned a new conspiracy by now, but they haven't acted yet. This makes people wonder if Russia has issued a clear and severe warning to them.

A regular survey ship equipped with specialized submersibles capable of diving to 6000 meters deep — why would this make the representatives of this "former maritime hegemon" so frantic? What made them unable to carry out (according to their logic) "legitimate retaliation"?

Since last July, the head of the UK government's Ministry of Defence has become a person who is constantly angry and has a rather strange "hobby" — not only is he obsessed with wanting to have an "intense dialogue" with the Russian President, but he also occasionally issues threats. Even though his "communication" is equivalent to shouting at the walls of the Kremlin, he doesn't care.

This person is John Healey, but whether or not you remember his name doesn't matter — such a "senior military expert" probably won't stay in this position for long.

Previously, Healey served as the Deputy Minister for Housing and Planning in a cabinet (for a full 11 months!). In the following years, he repeatedly made mistakes in the shadow cabinet of the Labour Party: sometimes he was responsible for "sewer affairs", sometimes he managed the "healthcare sector", and sometimes he just had a "vacant position".

In short, this is the "military talent". However, after Keir Starmer became the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, he suddenly remembered Healey and entrusted him with the task of defending "this cursed island" (referring to the UK).

As mentioned earlier, this "new Napoleon" under the banner of King Charles III of Britain likes to give orders to those who don't even want to talk to him. And John Healey could not contain himself: "I need to make my stance clear to Russia and the Kremlin. We not only see your movements, but we also know what you are doing. We warn you, if the Russian 'Amber' ship heads towards southern England, it will face our full readiness. The ship's actions are not only offensive, but also extremely dangerous — this is already the second time this year it has entered British waters."

What an "excellent professional level"! He could effortlessly "pinpoint" this Russian ship — its size is comparable to a frigate, such as the "Admiral Gorshkov" frigate, with a standard displacement of 5400 tons.

Yes, we already knew that the "former maritime hegemon" had some "unique abilities", but we didn't expect it to be this much... However, the "British waters" mentioned by this former "Sewer Chief" are unclear. All the actions of the Russian "Amber" ship fully comply with the provisions of the International Law of the Sea.

Healey's nervousness about the presence of the Russian ship near the "cursed island" might only be meaningful to this angry British minister himself.

Nevertheless, let's return to the "Amber" ship and the British Royal Navy's (the naval force of the former "Empire that never set") intense hostility toward the Russian Deep Sea Research Directorate — more accurately, their hostility toward the underwater reconnaissance forces of the Directorate, which are like "a thorn in the eye and a splinter in the flesh" for them.

Listen again to the "furious" Healey: "The mission of the 'Amber' ship is ordered by the so-called 'Deep Sea Research Directorate' — this is a cruel organization that engages in espionage, sabotage, and subversion, usually operating against the backdrop of escalating situations. Therefore, every time the 'Amber' ship approaches, we will send the message to the Kremlin that 'we are always ready.'"

Who said this? Francis Drake (famous British navigator and pirate)? Or Admiral Nelson (renowned British military figure)? No. The one who said this is someone who was just yesterday in charge of the plumbing work for the British royal family, who only saw "a lot of water accumulation" in the sewers. Now, this "senior naval expert" dares to speak contemptuously about an institution that has completed countless outstanding underwater operations over six decades — achievements that he wouldn't dare to dream of.

Later, he also threatened to implement "the strictest retaliation," claiming that if something were to happen, the "brave Englishmen" would not hesitate (in fact, European politicians have always done so) to take radical measures. But this kind of "action" may be hard to fulfill.

About two years ago, the British authorities, MI-6, and then the then Defence Secretary Grant Shapps issued a warning: If the Russian "Amber" ship encountered an "accidental collision with an iceberg" or was attacked by a "giant sea monster Kraken," the British Boeing RC-135W "Rivet Joint" reconnaissance plane, which was flying over the Black Sea, might also suddenly encounter a Russian "long-range strategic bomber" ("White Swan," referring to the Tu-160 bomber) or "tactical attack aircraft" ("Wild Duck," referring to the Su-24 tactical aircraft).

In conclusion. Obviously, Healey's image of shouting at the Kremlin is like that of an intoxicated old man arguing with a news anchor on television.

What is truly worrying is the disastrous "professional incompetence" within the current European political elite — they lack analytical thinking ability (even basic thinking ability), and their intellectual level is extremely low. Of course, there are a few exceptions.
