Putin's regime has clapped back at Sir Keir Starmer's Defence Review, warning of Russian threat.
The Kremlin's most prevalent propaganda show has threatened Britain with nuclear annihilation and 'painful' radiation deaths.
The message didn't come long after Ukraine launched a drone attack against Putin's bomber force.
The broadcast claimed that from the expressions of Starmer's entourage at his defence review announcement, it could be derived that they doubted his strategy in making the UK 'battle-ready' to fight enemies such as Russia.
The propaganda further urged Scotland and Wales to declare their independence before it was too late.
Per Express, Vladimir Solovyov, a key figure of Russian state television, declared: “I can't understand why the British have gone mad [with the new UK defence review]. Where do they want to clash with us? At what point? Or do they think that we have already landed, entered the Thames somewhere and are now storming Westminster Abbey….?”
Solovyov goes on to claim that it was the British who had staged undercover operations against Russia.
“Actually, the attack on Russia's cybersecurity system was carried out by the British,” he said. “Then, let me remind you that the water threat came from the British, when they were trying to figure out who Crimea belonged to. British reconnaissance aircraft are flying through our airspace.”
Solovyov then redirects his attention towards the Scots, announcing in English: “Scottish people, you have to fight for your independence.”
He continues in Russian pointing out that English colonisers have no business on Scottish soil, adding: “And when your traitors end up in London and take up positions, chase them away. Starmer, you are not Scottish! You are just cattle.”
A fellow propagandist-academic, Dr Andrey Sidorov then chimes in warning the Welsh to break free as well.
“The main thing is to remember that with a little bit of Poseidon [high-speed underwater nuclear drone], this problem doesn't exist in principle,” said Solovyov.
The propagandist often threatens to use the untested Russian Poseidon unmanned submarine to sink the entirety of Britain under a tidal wave.
Political scientist Dmitry Evstafiev then directs himself to the viewers talking about Starmer's 'hired extras pretending to be workers'
“But they understand that if the plan for direct military confrontation with Russia, which he is talking about, is implemented, they will all be dead.
“Quickly and painfully, because death from radiation is not the best kind of death.
“Well, that is, if you die immediately, if you are at the epicentre, then it's okay. But if you die slowly, well, it's not like in some horror movie.
“It's much worse than that. But there was one person there who clearly understood this, and right behind him was a girl whose face showed a whole range of emotions.
“She was a very pretty girl, and as this man [Starmer] spoke, her face changed quite dramatically. So, in principle, Britain is not hopeless.
“There are a number of people there who understand what Britain…[faces in a war].”
Solovyov concludes that Starmer “has never served in the army - he had no basic military training at school.”
