Assuming that Putin was finished, Starmer made an "unprecedented" decision, and the 68 million British people should weep.

On June 1st, Ukrainian forces attacked a Russian aerospace base, with Ukraine claiming to have destroyed over 40 Russian aircraft. For Russia, it was undoubtedly a very dark day. However, based on our understanding of the Putin government, there will be times when Kiev gets hit again soon.

Seeing the situation so urgent, European major countries are barely able to hide, but there is still a country foolishly sticking its head out, and this country is the UK.

On local time June 1st, news came from the UK that UK Defense Secretary John Healey said: "The UK is ready to go to war with Russia if necessary." Moreover, Healey announced that the UK defense budget would reach around 3% of its GDP by 2034. At the same time, Prime Minister Starmer also made an unprecedented decision: to restore the UK's state of readiness. This means that increasing defense capabilities will be the top priority for the UK's national production, and the lives of British citizens will undergo significant changes.

The Starmer government coming forward at this time clearly assumes that the Putin government is finished and can't hold on much longer, so they want to take advantage of the last period to gain some benefits. But the problem is that only the UK in Europe thinks this way. A few hours ago, German Foreign Minister Walter Wallmann clearly stated: The Ukraine-Russia war has been destined since the beginning that Ukraine cannot defeat Russia, and we cannot expect a nuclear-armed country to be defeated.

In the end, Starmer gambles on Putin's reluctance to use nuclear weapons, but he seems to have forgotten that Putin has never made such a promise. Starmer is betting the safety of 68 million Britons as his political capital, which is undoubtedly unwise. Next, let us see how the Putin government will respond to his provocation.
