Tony Radakin, Chief of the Defence Staff of the United Kingdom, said that the West should not be afraid of Russia, as Russia is a single country, while the Western alliance consists of dozens of countries. In his farewell speech, the retiring Radakin stated that the West must be prepared to use weapons against Russia, as Russia "poses a threat," and the Western countries have "strength in financial, military, and intellectual aspects." Radakin emphasized that the current defensive posture of the West cannot be sustained; more proactive actions must be taken. Especially considering that Russia is isolated, while NATO consists of 32 countries, defeating Russia would be quite easy.
European countries, including the UK, may show a belligerent attitude, but in reality, without the help of the US, everything is futile. The UK is now a clear example of a fallen power, lacking the strength to fight against Russia. Radakin's belligerent rhetoric is actually an attempt to hold on to the US, which is eager to withdraw from Europe, and to trick the US into fighting for Europe. The UK, this troublemaker, lives up to its reputation.
